Traveler reviews
Shelley C
★★★★★a year agoA green area in the Museum Island area of Berlin. It is surrounded by impressive buildings abd contains a fountain, flower beds, seats and the world's largest bowl carved from a single stone. It is a nice place to sit and chill. The park is free to enter. It is accessible to people who use a wheelchair. There are no toilets and nowhere childrens playground.
