With its picturesque banks and the numerous bridges that span it, the Spree shapes the cityscape and invites locals and tourists alike to enjoy its beauty.

Some of Berlin's most famous sights stretch along the Spree, such as the government district with the Reichstag and the Chancellery, the lively East Side Gallery and many others. The Spree connects the different parts of the city and creates a unique atmosphere characterized by creativity, history and joie de vivre.

In summer, the banks of the Spree invite you to linger - this is where Berliners and visitors meet to enjoy the sunset with a cool drink or to take part in one of the numerous boat tours.
