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.
