Holiday Inn Berlin Airport - Conf Centre

Discover Berlin from the water on a boat trip along the Spree, the famous river in the heart of the city. For a lesser-known but equally fascinating excursion, services depart all day from stops along the Landwehr Canal. This journey from Kreuzberg’s Kottbusser Bridge to Charlottenburg takes in fabulous architecture including museums, embassies and beautiful pre-war apartment buildings.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Museum Island is worth a visit for its grand architecture alone, and is also home to 5 fascinating museums. Only 30 minutes by train from the hotel, seek out the bust of the Ancient Egyptian queen Nefertiti at the Neues Museum, ancient archaeological treasures and Islamic art at the Pergamon Museum, or classical works by Renoir and Monet at the Alte Nationalgalerie.

Save time and money during your visit with a Berlin WelcomeCard, which offers reduced or even free entry to many major museums, galleries, theatres and city tours. Jump the queue and head to the top of TV Tower, spend a morning on Museum Island or check out penguins and gorillas at Berlin Zoo. Benefits also include free travel on public transport and a day using the hop-on hop-off tourist bus.
