A cruise on the Spree is one of the easiest ways to see central Berlin, passing the Reichstag, the government quarter, Museum Island and Berlin Cathedral. One-hour city loops leave from Friedrichstrasse and the Nikolaiviertel, and longer trips run east past the East Side Gallery or out to the lakes.

Before you book

In winter choose a heated or glass-roofed boat. Check whether commentary is live or recorded and in which languages.
