Beach Bars

In keeping with the turn-of-the-century tradition of river swimming pools, the Badeschiff in the district of Treptow is a floating outdoor pool on the Spree river. In summer, you can not only swim here but also enjoy a cool drink at the beach bar and take in the unbeatable view of the Oberbaum Bridge and the TV Tower.
