You too, like me, adore Berlin, in all seasons, in every corner, in every room, in every neighborhood?
Berlin is often chosen for its vibrant nightlife, vintage markets, avant-garde shopping, and an ever-changing world of youth.
But you can discover a new point of view from which to admire it: the river.
In the water everything is slower, quieter and more relaxed: like a fish in the Spree, you can enter the bowels of the city almost on tiptoe, with respect and amazement at every turn of the corner.
You can choose between several River Cruises companies, which offer itineraries that can last 1 to 3-4 hours, spending from 5 to 10-15 euros, with departures from various points of the city, such as near the Protestant Cathedral or the new Central Station.
You can opt for the tour that accompanies the folds of the city center, admiring some of the most important places in the city, such as the Museum Island, the Reichstag, the Government building and the German Chancellery, which seen from the water show the their new and certainly more romantic face.
Suggestive is also the Tour of the eastern side that moving fromEast Side Gallery, lets discover, alongside the oldest parts of Berlin, futuristic works such as the skyscrapers of the Trep Towers and the 30-meter-high aluminum sculpture of the Molecule Man.
Even the night cruise is an unmissable spectacle: with the softly lit architectures, which are reflected on the waters of the Spree, truly unforgettable views will be captured.
The water lets an unprecedented portrait of the city flow before the eyes, where the contrasts integrate with each other, restoring a harmonious, vital and original image.
The experience on the boat, then, is really pleasant: on board there is an excellent, and inexpensive, bar service: if it's sunny, you can enjoy a cold beer sitting on the armchairs on the terrace, listening, if you like, to the guide, in German or English.
For owners of the Berlin Wellcome Cardin addition, there is a discount on the ticket.
A wish: I hope you will experience the lock, when the boat stops for the time necessary to wait for the water to reach the level suitable for the continuation of navigation. Almost a rite of passage to enter a new way of traveling, more nuanced and introverted, in this wonderful city that will not fail to amaze you, even from the water.
