Not only can you get a game of basketball in at this accessible court, you can also enjoy the view of the vibrantly-painted elephant mural while you shoot hoops. Since 2016, when German artist Jadore Tong created the multi-patterned piece, it's become a well-known backdrop in Berlin and it serves as one of the most stand-out locations in the city — especially against the more monochrome surroundings.
