5 Great Spots to Meditate in Berlin

With Exact Locations from Daily Meditation Berlin

Berlin is always moving, always shifting — which is exactly why it’s worth slowing down inside of it. Whether you’re new to meditation or just need a break from overstimulation, the city has plenty of green spaces where you can sit, breathe, and drop into stillness.

Here are five of the best places in Berlin to meditate — with exact locations and tips for finding the calm within the chaos.

1. Volkspark Friedrichshain

Best meditation spot: near the Märchenbrunnen (Fairy Tale Fountain)

 

Enter from Am Friedrichshain or Landsberger Allee. Head toward the Märchenbrunnen, a whimsical fountain surrounded by statues and gardens. Behind the fountain, you’ll find a circular grove with benches and shade — ideal for an early morning or post-lunch sit. Walk a little uphill and you’ll find more secluded clearings with fewer people and more trees.

Best time: early morning or just before sunset

2. Grunewald Forest & Teufelsberg

Best meditation spot: Grunewaldsee lakeside or Teufelsberg hilltop

Take the S-Bahn to Grunewald station, then walk 10 minutes to Grunewaldsee — a beautiful, forest-edged lake. There are small, hidden spots all around the water where you can sit on the shore and watch the light play off the surface. If you’re up for a longer walk (about 30–40 minutes), hike up to Teufelsberg, the abandoned Cold War listening station. The top has panoramic views and is perfect for longer sits.

Best time: midday on a weekday, when it’s quiet

3. Plänterwald

Best meditation spot: trail near the water, close to Zenner Biergarten

Start at Zenner Biergarten & Weingarten (Alt-Treptow 15) and walk into Plänterwald along the riverside trail. Within a few minutes, you’ll leave the bustle behind and enter a dense, peaceful forest. Keep walking until you hear fewer voices and more wind in the trees. Look for a bench facing the water or bring something to sit on. The area just north of the abandoned Spreepark has some quiet, untouched corners.

Best time: morning or late afternoon

4. Schlosspark Charlottenburg

Best meditation spot: by the carp pond behind the palace

Enter from Spandauer Damm near the main palace gates, then walk straight through the formal gardens. Go past the main water canal until you reach the smaller Karpfenteich (carp pond) on the left side. It’s less frequented than the main paths and has a few shaded benches with a view of the still water. You’ll hear birds and the occasional shuffle of footsteps — not much else.

👉 Karpfenteich, 14059 Berlin

Best time: mid-morning or on overcast days when fewer tourists are around

5. Weinbergspark (Mitte)

Best meditation spot: under the trees near the pond, top of the slope

Enter from Brunnenstraße near Soto Café, and walk up the path toward the higher part of the park. Near the small duck pond you’ll find a few wooden benches and open grass with some decent tree cover. The noise of the street fades a bit once you’re above eye level with the cars. If you’re short on time but still want to reset, this is a great quick fix.

Best time: weekday afternoons, especially in spring or fall

Meditate Where You Are — and Wherever You Are

Berlin may not look like a peaceful city on the surface, but when you slow down, it shows you another rhythm. Every one of these places has something real to offer — whether it’s quiet beauty, a hidden view, or just the space to breathe without being watched

At Daily Meditation Berlin, we teach meditation that’s grounded, simple, and made for real life. These parks are just one part of the practice — the rest is learning how to find stillness anywhere.
