Tempelhofer Feld
Huge urban park on the former Tempelhof Airport, where locals cycle, skate and fly kites on the old runways.
Tempelhof Airport was the main hub of the 1948–1949 Berlin Airlift. After it closed in 2008, it was turned into a park covering about 300 hectares, larger than New York's Central Park. The runways and taxiways have been kept intact. On weekends the field fills with people cycling, kite-surfing and barbecuing, and there are also community gardens and beer gardens. The enormous Nazi-era terminal building can be visited on a guided tour. The park is free and open from sunrise to sunset. Nearest stations: U6 Paradestraße or S-Bahn Tempelhof.
