Summer is finally here! Wanna swim?
.JPG.4679890.JPG)
We all know that Berlin is not the most famous city for beach holidays, but did you know that in our city there’s a lot of wonderful lakes where you can swim and enjoy the sun during the hot days? (Yes, there’s hot days in Berlin too!! )
Some of them are also inside the city, others a bit more outside, but it’s also a good occasion to stay in the nature and have a break from the chaotic city-life.
Here ‘s some of the nicest:
Schlachtensee
You can reach this beautiful lake directly with the S-Bahn train (S1 – stop “Schlachtensee”). Just in front of the station you will see it. It’s a pretty big lake, has some small beaches, really clear water. For the bravest ones, you can jump from the trees hanging on the ropes đ . For the lazy ones, you can rent a boat and float in the middle of the lake.
MĂŒggelsee
This lake, situated outside of the city, is really huge. Water is also clear, and the “Strand” (sand beach) is huuuge ! Seems like to be on the sea! To get there take the S3 train till “Rahnsdorf” stop. From there it’s a 20 mins nice walk trough the wood and then you’re there!
WeiĂensee
This lake is in the city, located in the north east part of Prenzlauer Berg (district where’s also Mauerpark, famous for the flea market on sunday). Surrounded by a nice park, you can swim till the fountain placed in the middle. A good option to don’t go too far from the center of Berlin.
These are only three of the big amount of lakes you can visit here, for more infos, just ask at the reception!!
Enjoy!!

Summer in the city – best beach bars, chill out places and parks in Berlin
You planning to visit Berlin now or in the coming weeks? Surely you will visit the main touristic spots, like Brandenburg Gate, Fernsehturm, Eastside Galaery and so on. But Berliners like to chill out after a full day at the riverside, or in nice open air location with cold beer and good music. Here are some of the best places you shouldnât miss.
Bearchbars, Cafes or Sitting Outside:
Klunkerkranich
At the parking level of the shopping mall Neukölln Arcaden you can find not only a chill-out-cafĂ©-bar called Klunkerkranich but also one of the best views over Berlin. You should definitely go there in case you are â by chance â one of these people in Berlin that are NOT blessed with their own gigantic roof terrace. You are not alone if you are one of them. Not alone at all.
The Prinzessinnengarten is a mobile garden next Moritzplatz in Kreuzberg. In the shade of the trees you can have a relaxing beer, or try a snack of the homemade organic food.
Club der VisionĂ€re aka CdV is a bar swimming on the water of a sidearm of the river together with the bar Freischwimmer itâs the favourite place for people from Kreuzberg and Friedrichhain to chill out on a long long Sunday afternoon. At the CdV there are always really good Djâs playing. There are no big gigs, itâs more like they go and play in their own living room. So often you get the chance to meet some high ranking Djs.
Yaam is one of the oldest Beach Bars in Berlin. Itâs like a little island of Jamaica right in the middle of Berlin. Here you always find a little peaceful beach and chilled reggae music. At night they do some good parties too. Right now the Yaam is under threat because of a luxury condo they want to build on this location. Thatâs why a move is already scheduled for 2013. The new location will be the area of the former Maria/Magdalena/Josef Club and Schilling Bridge.
The Badeschiff is a very unique place. Since the river Spree isnât particularly made for swimming. They transformed to old ships into a swimming pool on the river. Pretty awesome right?! A lot of people hanging out at the Badeschiff the whole day. Swimming, chilling, sun bathing and later on dancing since they also do a lot of open air parties in the summer months.
Lichtpark is one of the newer Open Air Party locations. For the weekend they provide for a small entry fee nice electronic music and a chilled location on the river. This place is often crowded by people who either just come or go to Kater Blau Club or did not get in for the Sunday after hour party but still want to make party.
Youâve probably been to open-air festivals at  ://about blank or  Sisyphos already. But it does not always have to be all electronic beats for crazy dance moves. At Monbijoutheater for example, you can learn to dance mambo, tango or swing. Feels like Dirty Dancing!
During the summer the bridge and its grassy shores are alive with droves of Berliners, relaxing and chilling with some cheap spÀti beers. All whilst taking in the vibes from the buskers, acoustic groups, And any other manner of movers and shakers that swings by. Free entertainment at its best! Setting the groove all the way into the night.
We also recommend the big and green parks in Berlin like:
PreuĂenpark
Tempelhofer Feld
Insel der Jugend Treptower Park
Volkspark Friedrichshain
