Here’s some inspiration for unique things if you’re thinking of booking a city break in Berlin to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year.
Dining Above the City at the TV Tower
Start your Valentine’s Day with an unforgettable dining experience at the Sphere at the Fernsehturm (TV Tower). Standing at 368 metres, this iconic landmark offers breathtaking panoramic views of Berlin.
Choose a package for a romantic evening with a dinner by candlelight and a selection of fine German and international dishes. Make sure to book your reservation well in advance to secure a prime spot, especially during the Valentine’s rush.
Spending Some Quality Time on Museum Island
Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a treasure trove of art and history, nestled on the River Spree.
Dedicate an afternoon to exploring its stunning museums and wander hand in hand through exhibits that span centuries, admiring everything from ancient artefacts to Romantic-era paintings. To make the day even more special, plan a picturesque stroll along the Lustgarten, the island’s beautiful garden.
Book Some Relaxation Time In
Escape the city’s hustle and bustle by booking a relaxing spa experience for you and your partner.
Vabali Spa, located near Berlin Hauptbahnhof, is an oasis of tranquillity with its Balinese-inspired design. Choose from soothing couples’ massages, luxurious sauna sessions or a private relaxation suite. This retreat is perfect for reconnecting and unwinding in a serene atmosphere.
Alternatively, enjoy the thermal baths at Liquidrom, which feature a saltwater pool illuminated by soft lights and live classical music performances. Both options offer a delightful way to recharge and pamper yourselves during your romantic getaway.
Experience Unique Activities
Berlin is known for its eclectic and vibrant culture, making it an ideal destination for couples looking to try something out of the ordinary.
Join a couple’s cooking class to master German culinary favourites like schnitzel and spätzle. Alternatively, embark on a hot air balloon ride with Air Service Berlin for a bird’s-eye view of the city.

Snack the German Classics
Finally, no trip to Berlin is complete without indulging in the city’s iconic street food.
Share a plate of currywurst from Konnopke’s Imbiss, a beloved institution since 1930. Wander through bustling markets like Markthalle Neun and split a freshly baked pretzel or some ‘Berliner Pfannkuchen’ doughnuts.
If you’re exploring Prenzlauer Berg, visit one of the cosy, traditional cafes for apfelstrudel paired with a warm cup of coffee. These culinary moments not only provide a delicious taste of Berlin but also add a touch of charm to your Valentine’s adventure.
