2. Take a boat ride on the Spree river

Another way to see Berlin from a different perspective is by taking a boat ride on the Spree river. The city’s public transportation network offers several routes, and you’re in luck because in spring and summer they operate from Monday to Sunday. Some boats even have a bar. Have a drink while you enjoy the marvellous views.

4. Admire its street art murals

In Berlin the streets of the city are like an art gallery. Graffiti is part of the urban culture. The murals of the East Side Gallery are unquestionably the most famous, but they are by no means the only ones. The neighbourhoods of Kreuzberg and Friedrichsain are also known for their street art.
