Dining together at a height of 207 metres

The panoramic view of Berlin from the television tower is a unique experience in itself, but a romantic dinner above the city makes it even more special. Restaurant Sphere is located in the TV tower at a height of 207 metres and rotates slowly, giving you a 360-degree panoramic view of Berlin. Sphere serves à la carte dishes as well as a 3- or 4-course menu focusing on regional and international cuisine with a modern twist. Whether you prefer a romantic breakfast, lunch or dinner, the restaurant has something for everyone. It is the perfect location to enjoy a romantic meal with your partner on Valentine's Day.

Prefer a romantic dinner on the ground floor? KATZ Orange might be just what you are looking for. Imagine a Valentine's Day dinner surrounded by twinkling stars, in a 19th-century brewery with unmistakable historical charm. Katz Orange has an inspiring courtyard and a menu with delicious dishes. This place will occupy a special place in your memory, with its mix of old-fashioned elegance and modern gastronomy.

Discover Berlin with the Hop-On Hop-Off bus

Those who are on a city break in Berlin on Valentine's Day should definitely visit the hotspots. We understand that you want to see as many hotspots as possible, and what better way to do that than with the Hop-On Hop-Off bus? During this tour, the bus will take you past the most famous places in Berlin, and the best part is that you can choose which hotspot you want to hop on or off at! Well-known hotspots that the bus passes include Alexanderplatz, Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenburg Gate and more. Discover historic Berlin together in a relaxed way, because all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride! Book your tickets for the Hop-On Hop-Off bus here.

Take part in the Valentine's Run

For sporty couples, this is the ultimate way to spend time together! Take part in the Valentine's Run through the Gardens of the World, where you can participate in the 3, 5 or 10 kilometre run alone or with your loved one. The 5 km run consists of 1 lap and the 10 km run consists of 2 laps with a stop for refreshing drinks along the way and food and drink provided at the finish line. Although the run does not take place on 14 February, but a day later on 15 February, many couples in love take part! During the Valentine's Run, couples who participate together are required to cross the finish line 3 seconds apart. Which one of you is just a little bit faster?

Valentine's Day in Berlin with a twist

Did you know that according to the UN, one third of all women and girls experience violence at some point in their lives? That's one billion women worldwide! The One Billion Rising campaign brings everyone together at the Brandenburg Gate to dance against violence against women and for respect under the motto ‘Rise for our bodies, our future, our earth’. This event may not be the usual way to celebrate Valentine's Day, but it is certainly a wonderful experience to come together to honour love and demand an end to violence. While challenging traditional Valentine's Day celebrations through self-love and well-being on all levels, this is a great way to spend the day here alone, with your partner or with friends.

Spend time watching the sunset

A magical sunset, when the warm light bathes the city in a special atmosphere, is always a great way to spend your Valentine's date. Berlin has plenty of locations that are ideal for cuddling up and watching the sun go down. Experience an urban romantic sunset at Tempelhofer Feld in the heart of the city or watch it from the Oberbaumbrücke, made of red bricks. From the Landwehrkanal, you may not be able to see the full panorama of the sunset, but you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere as the sunlight glitters on the water of the Spree. For a magnificent view of Berlin, climb the Drachenberg. The climb up the hill is rewarded with a relaxing sunset and a panoramic view of the city.

A cold but romantic adventure at the Berlin Icebar

Having a drink with your date is always a good idea, but sometimes you want just that little bit extra. How about a visit to the Berlin Icebar? In this unique bar, the temperature is always -10 degrees, as everything is made of ice! Take our word for it, this is a date idea that will impress. Step into a historical expedition, warm up with a drink in the tavern and grab an extra coat and gloves (provided, of course). Then brave the cold together in the Icebar, hand in hand, as you step into a magical frozen world. Surrounded by impressive ice sculptures and enjoying drinks served in real ice glasses, you’ll share a truly unique experience, one you won’t soon forget. And an extra tip from us: take a romantic kissing photo together, share it on social media, tag the Berlin Icebar and receive a free extra cocktail with two straws. Perfect to enjoy together, because that's what Valentine's Day is all about! Book your tickets for the Berlin Icebar here. 

Celebrate Valentine's Day in Berlin

From dining at a height of 207 metres to exploring the city on the Hop-On Hop-Off bus, a sporty five-kilometre run, participating in a protest against violence against women or watching the sunset together: Berlin offers endless possibilities on Valentine's Day.
