Whether it's meat or veg, Berliners like to use their green space to cook outdoors.

PARKS & GARDENS

Across the city, barbecue areas invite people to come together for a sizzling good time. The scent of sausages, köfte, and halloumi fills the summer air from Charlottenburg's Goslarer Ufer to Tempelhofer Feld and Volkspark Friedrichshain.

If you prefer to be active, the free fitness area with extensive equipment and instructions is another practical option. One of the hottest places for summer in Berlin is Tempelhofer Feld. When the weather's warm, the most delicious smells fill the air here, because the former airport offers three different areas for people to have a barbecue. Afterwards, there's always something fun going on. Or you can go skating or cycling or join in a game of badminton or frisbee. Almost everything is
