During the Perseid meteor shower in mid-August, up to 100 shooting stars per hour can streak across the night sky — and Berlin gets a front-row seat. This annual natural spectacle is one of the best free astronomy events of the summer, open to anyone willing to look up. It’s ideal for curious skywatchers, families, and anyone after a memorable summer night out without a ticket price. For the clearest view, head away from the bright city center and find a darker spot with an open horizon. No equipment needed — just patience, a clear sky, and a little luck. Mark your calendar for the peak on 20 August 2026.
