Traveler reviews
Sheika Fateema
★★★★★2 months agoJames-Simon-Park is a beautiful and peaceful spot on Museum Island. The open green space, modern design, and views of the surrounding historic buildings make it a great place to relax, take a walk, or sit for a while and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s a lovely place to stop during a visit to Berlin, especially if you want a quiet break near the museums. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone exploring the area.
Rafał Tomasz Sadowski
★★★★★7 years agoA great place to hang out. Clean, a lot of young people sitting and having fun. You can buy your beer at the Kaufman’s that is 1 km from the park and drink at the park, police allows it. Very nice place all in all, great afternoon.
