Museum Island, Government Quarter or East Side Gallery: Berlin has many great sights that can be explored from the water during a boat trip on the river Spree. With the hop-on, hop-off ticket you don't have to decide on one particular tour. Simply disembark at a sight that interests you and continue on one of the five lines whenever you feel like it.
