Berlin View From The River
This wonderful tour will help us discover the most romantic facet of the city. From the beginning of the tour you will discover the many canals that run through the city, and the huge number of bridges that are in this capital.
There are two main rivers that pass through the city, the Spree River and Havel River. Of course, the route passes through both and also through Wannsee Lake.
From the Spree River you will see all the historic buildings of the era of Prussia, when the boat passes through Havel River you will see the Reichstag, the cathedral and many other sites of interest. From Wannsee Lake you will see the skyscrapers close to “Potsdamer Platz”
There are four companies that offer a boat tour of Berlin, each with different durations and prices. It is important to know that you can only do the boat ride from March to October.
Reederei Bruno Winkler offers tours that leave from the train station Friedrichstrasse. The tour lasts an hour and focuses on a route that passes under the bridges of Berlin, it cost 8 euros per person and there is one every 45 minutes starting at 10:45 in the morning
Exclusiv-Yachtcharter & Schiffahrtsgesellschaft do a tour lasting two hours. Thursdays at 7pm there is a tour to admire the city at night and it cost only 8 euros. If you go with a large group may consider to rent a yacht for 450 euros for 3 hours plus tax
Reederei Riedel is a tour where you can enjoy the beauty of the city but also a nice traditional meal, because unlike the other tours they offered a menu on board which may be acquired by an average price of 18 euros.
Spree-Shuttle is a similar tour in prices and the route to all other however is carried out in a boat that works with solar energy.
The boat ride through Berlin doesn’t show us anything new, however it gives us the opportunity to see the city from a different perspective in a much more relaxed and comfortable environment. It is definitely a good choice for all travellers.
