Rivercruise: Historical city tour

The best way to explore Berlin is from the water! It might be surprising, but Berlin has over 240 kilometres of waterways and more bridges than Venice, making it perfect for exploring from the river. On the one-hour boat tour by Stern und Kreisschiffahrt along the Spree, you’ll enjoy a relaxed journey through both historic and modern Berlin.

During the tour, you’ll experience impressive views of Berlin’s famous landmarks, including Museum Island, the Reichstag, the House of World Cultures, and many other highlights along the Spree. A German-speaking guide and a 12-language audio guide on board provide fascinating insights into Berlin’s history, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the stunning views along the riverbanks.

  • Relaxing 1-hour cruise on the Spree through Berlin
