Branitzer Platz Berlin
Westends posh boardwalk
Luiza from Berlin
This square is hidden in the beautiful embassy quarter of Westend Charlottenburg. It is in the shape of a circle and is surrounded by large old chestnut trees. The view is most beautiful in spring or autumn when the trees are either blooming or the leaves are turning red and yellow. In the summer, you can find shade on a bench under the canopy of trees, or if you have a blanket, you can just lie down on the grass in the middle of the square. But beware of the many flowers that grow there. When I was living nearby, it was my favourite place to take a break and get some sun while working from home.
You can also take a very nice walk to Branizer Square through the small streets surrounded by old villas with beautiful gardens where magnolias and many other flowers bloom. Don't forget to get coffee and something sweet from one of the Westend cafes.
You can get there by taking the U2 to Westend or Theodor Heuss Platz and walking from one underground station to the next. Another option is to take the M45 bus from Zoologischer Garten and get off at Reichsstr./Kastanienallee.

Lietzenseepark
A close getaway!
"Lietzenseepark" in Berlin is a calm park with playgrounds, space for picnics, a lake with ducks... I like sitting close to the fountain & facing the lake.

Rico Falafel
The best falafel in town
"Rico Falafel" in Berlin reminds me of the culture that is about to disappear in the Middle East. It's not just that they make the best falafel in town...

Du Bonheur
A real patisserie
"Du Bonheur" close to the Berlin Wall Memorial is one of the best patisseries and cafes. Whatever you choose here, I assure you the calories are worth it.

SPRO
The Heart of Prenzlauer Berg
What makes them even more special is their friendly nature. On most days, you might run into their owner Jonathan, the heart and soul of the café. SPRO would not shine the same way without his thoughtfulness.

Rüyam 2
Berlin's Best Döner
They take the traditional döner in Berlin and transform it into a borderline art form. With flavorful sauces, meat, vegetables, spices, herbs, bread, and cheese, there's no wonder each bite tastes better than the last.

Libanon Falafel
Berlin's Cheapest Snack
For €2, you can enjoy their falafel, shawarma, or kafta wrap. Their falafel wrap can be fully plant-based, too, just let them know, so they omit some sauces. They're better off as a snack because they're a bit on the smaller side.
