What it is
An hour by boat on the Spree in the very centre: you pass Museum Island and the cathedral, under the bridges of Mitte and in front of the Parliament and Chancellery buildings. It is the most relaxing way to see half of Berlin, and children love it.
How it works
Stern und Kreisschiffahrt's historic round trip leaves from the Friedrichstraße landing stage or the Alte Börse one, next to Hackescher Markt, and costs from €22.50. If you have more time, the bridges route along the Landwehrkanal lasts 3 h 15 and passes through Kreuzberg. Buy online or at the landing stage; check the day's timetable, which changes with the season.
Tips
- Sit on deck If the weather is good, you see everything from the top; in winter, the boat is closed and heated.
- Combine it with Museum Island The Alte Börse landing stage is a step away.
