This view of Bode Museum, situated at the spot where the River Spree splits to create Berlin’s Museum Island, can only be seen during a river cruise. The island is home to many of the city’s finest museums.

Designed in 1697, the moats, lake, pathways, and geometric gardens at Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin are free for all to roam. Largely destroyed during World War II, the gardens were reconstructed in their original Baroque style between 1957 and 1970.
A River Spree Cruise offers great views of the architecture of Berlin, including this one with the TV Tower in the background, which, at 368 meters (1,207 feet) high, is the tallest structure in Germany. An observation deck in the “ball” offers great views of Berlin.
Among others, the neoclassical Mausoleum at Charlottenburg Palace holds the crypts of Queen Luise, Wilhelm I and his wife Augusta, Frederick William III, and Prince Albert of Prussia.
