Berlin gets into an autumn mood

Berlin might be in a partial lockdown, but going outside is still allowed. And when the sun is shining, a walk becomes a special experience — during the fall, the German capital shows itself in autumnal glory.

    Berlin's oldest and largest oasis of green showcases autumn's flamboyance, especially for people who love to go for walks or long bicycle rides. If you look closely, you can even see the Siegessäule, or Victory Column.

    Museum Island

    The art treasures hidden in the five museums are indisputably the main attractions on Museum Island. However, walking through the colorful leaves that cover the ground is great fun as autumn progresses, especially now when all museums are closed because of the COVID-19 lockdown.

    Not far from the Berlin Dome, Lustgarten honors its name as Pleasure Garden. It offers the perfect location for beautiful walks along the waterfront or some relaxation with a view.

    The autumn colors in the government quarter between the Federal Chancellery and the Parliament in the Reichstag building set bright accents in the grey of everyday political life.

    Reichstag Building

    In 1999, the German Bundestag moved back into the Reichstag Building that was rebuilt after the fall of the Berlin Wall and Germany's reunification in 1990. These days, the trees that were planted some two decades ago are splendid and colorful.

    According to astronomers, autumn lasts for exactly 89 days and 19 hours. That's plenty of time to experience Berlin's most famous landmarks and take photos with extraordinary effects.
