Central Open-Air Locations in Berlin: Right in the heart of the city, but still outdoors

Berlin – a city made of concrete? Quite the opposite! Especially during the warmer months, event planners can utilise Berlin’s unique venues. The city is renowned for its green oases and offers a wide range of inspiring open-air event locations.

From historic industrial halls with outdoor areas, to fairytale-like palace gardens, open-air spaces on former stadium grounds, or – typically Berlin – beer gardens with generous outdoor seating, the possibilities for creative outdoor locations in Berlin are endless. And of course, the location plays an important role. Whether in the city centre or in the idyllic outskirts, Berlin offers the perfect setting for almost any event format.

Open-Air Locations by the Water: Holiday feelings in the middle of Berlin

Berlin is rich in waterways: From the Havel and Spree Rivers to Müggelsee, Wannsee, and along the Landwehr Canal and Teltow Canal – water carves its way through Berlin. Accordingly vast are the possibilities for unique events on or beside the water.

Spindler und Klatt 

Set directly on the Spree River, the 200-square-metre terrace of Spindler & Klatt lies at the former East-West border between Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. Here, Berlin's life flows by, quite literally – creating the perfect waterfront setting for exclusive events.
