Tiergarten
Tiergarten is Berlin's largest inner-city park, a former royal hunting ground turned English-style landscape park that stretches between the Brandenburg Gate and Bellevue Palace. The Siegessäule (Victory Column) at its center is climbable for a city view, and the park is threaded with paths good for walking, jogging, or cycling away from traffic.
It's less manicured than a formal garden and more a genuine urban forest, popular with locals for picnics and casual recreation rather than sightseeing per se — most visitors pass through it on the way between the Reichstag and Zoo Berlin rather than visiting purely for the park itself.
