Berlin sits in the flat North German Plain, a landscape with few natural barriers to the horizon. The city's lakes, rivers, and open spaces -- especially in the east and west -- provide largely unobstructed views of sunrise and sunset.
Best sunrise spots in Berlin
-
Tempelhofer Feld
The former Tempelhof airport is now a 300-hectare public park with an unobstructed horizon in every direction. The eastern side has no buildings blocking the view; the park opens at dawn, free admission.
-
Siegessäule
The 285-step climb to the top (67 meters, entry 3 EUR) gives a panoramic view east toward Alexanderplatz and the TV Tower. Open daily from 9:30 am; nearest U/S-Bahn at Tiergarten or Bellevue.
-
Müggelsee
Berlin's largest lake, about 8 km east of the city center, has a flat eastern shore ideal for watching sunrise over the water. Take S3 to Friedrichshagen, then tram 61 or a 20-minute walk to the shore.
-
Oberbaumbrücke
This double-deck Spree crossing faces east; in the morning, early light reflects on the river between the two towers. Best viewed from the Friedrichshain embankment, a short walk from U1/U3 Schlesisches Tor.
