Things to do during Easter in Berlin

Celebrate at an Easter bonfire

Bonfires are a beloved tradition for Easter in Germany and Berlin is no exception. Throughout the city there are different Easter bonfires you can attend on the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, also known as Easter Saturday. In the Britzer Garten in Neukölln, the Easter bonfire is accompanied by live music and rich hearty German food.

The Wendenschloss Lido also welcomes in the spring season with a blazing fire. Kids can enjoy an exciting treasure hunt and get their face painted, while the whole family can enjoy a musical programme and delicious treats. Other bonfires can be found in Spandau, Marzahn, Späth'schen tree nurseries, Frohnau, Weißensee Lido and Lichtenrade.
