Send Flowers to Berlin, Germany

Berlin is less a single city than a patchwork of Kieze, the small neighbourhoods Berliners identify with: Prenzlauer Berg with its young families and restored tenement blocks, Kreuzberg and Neukölln with their canalside cafés and international crowd, leafy Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf in the west, the villas of Zehlendorf and Grunewald. The German capital also hosts embassies, start-ups and one of the largest foreign communities in Germany, so a great many orders come from parents, partners and friends abroad.

Addresses need a little care. Most Berliners live in apartment buildings where the door is identified by the surname on the bell, not by a flat number, and many blocks have a front building (Vorderhaus) and a rear one across the courtyard (Hinterhaus or Seitenflügel). Add the name on the bell, the part of the building and the floor to your delivery instructions and the florist will find the right door. Hospitals such as the Charité need a ward name too.

Flower delivery in Berlin runs Monday to Saturday: order before midnight German time and a local florist delivers a hand-made arrangement the following day. There is no Sunday service. International Women's Day on 8 March is a public holiday in Berlin, so choose the day before for that occasion.
