Views from the river also include the Government District with impressive views of the Reichstag and its infamous glass dome, not to mention the seat of the German Parliament; the largest government headquarters in the world!
See the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Museum Island, in particular the Bode Museum that sits majestically on the river. The Oberbaum Bridge, Bellevue Palace, Nikolai Quarter (Old Berlin), and Berlin’s Central Station are also top sights not to be missed.

Reviews River Spree
“The service wasn't good and we had to keep asking for updates on drinks etc. people were complaining about cold coffee. They had sold out of several items such as gluewein on a cold wet day and the cruise finished 25 minutes early. Sadly not a cruise I would recommend and do again and wasn't value for money.”
“An excellent trip and value for money. The guide Alexis was very knowledgeable and delivered in an entertaining manner. Particularly impressed with way he handled a group on a stag ‘do'.”
“Het was een mooie tocht. We hadden prachtig weer en een mooie plek met goed zicht. Uiteindelijk duurde de tocht geen 2,5 uur maar 2 uur. Groot stuk ook langs industrie en de grote weg. Niet zo interessant. Vriendelijk personeel, lekkere drankjes.”
