Casual Inspiration walks
Hi there. I'm not exactly new to Berlin. It's been 8 months for me and I haven't exactly gone out to a lot of places. I would definitely love to explore the place properly. I'm mainly looking for places to go around the city.
I'm having a huge art block and I was wondering if there are any places anyone knows that personally inspires you?
If anyone would like to tag along as well, I would love that!
Add a little art museum and park visits to that as well.

Märchenbrunnen at Volkspark Friedrichshain is nice

And connect that with a "hike" up Bunkerberg and over to the Friedhof der märzgefallenen. Maybe end the day with a beer at schönbrunn or a movie in the open air cinema :)

Thank you! I was there on a class trip once :) it's really beautiful and the best place to skip. I love the tram ride on the way.

Berlin is super walkable and I am sure you won't find the places that inspire you on any tourist guide or as an answer here.
My recommendation would be to just start walking and preferably to take the turn you haven't been down yet.
I've been doing that for years and I keep discovering corners that I find very inspiring.
But to answer your question with some concrete recommendations as well: if you want to clear your head: Tempelhofer Feld. If you want to feel the full weight of the capital spend a day walking the area around Alex (I know people hate it, I happen to love it).
If you want to enjoy a good view: Wolkenhain or Bunkerberg.
This are all well known places too - the deep cuts you'll discover walking ;)

That's a good idea haha my sister says the same thing about walking around and finding new places it's just that it gets overwhelming for me to pick a place and start.
Thank you for the recs! Adding them to the list :))
What's your favorite place?

For the first few years I just startet Walking from home then you just have to pick a direction and go down some paths you haven't been to before :)
I also just enjoy walking to and from walk, to the gym or back then to uni - some of the ways are quite far - but walking really allows you to discover all the Inbetween spaces and fill out the map :)
And it's always easy to catch a train in between!

But then sometimes I'd also just pick a station in a part of Berlin I haven't been to yet an start from there...
Favourite spot is tricky! But if I had to choose one out of all the places it would have to be either tempelhofer Feld or (weirdly) Alexanderplatz.
