Branitzer Platz Berlin – Westends posh boardwalk

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.
