Berlin feels like a different city from the water.

The Perspective Shift

Bus: You look UP at buildings.
Boat: You glide PAST them. You see the government district (Regierungsviertel) intimately.

The Route

Boats usually depart from near the Friedrichstraße station or Berlin Cathedral. They loop through the historic center.

Essential Sights from Water

Reichstag: The glass dome looks great from the river.
Oberbaum Bridge: The stunning red brick bridge connecting East and West.
Molecule Man: The giant aluminum sculpture in the river.

Tip: Do the bus in the morning, grab lunch, then relax your feet on the 1-hour boat cruise in the afternoon.
