Berlin nightlife history from Wall to art and clubs river cruise

The pulsating life of the capital is most evident between Jannowitzbrücke and Insel der Jugend. On a 90-minute boat tour, you'll discover the party heart of Berlin. Singer and rapper Romano provides an audio guide detailing tales of Berlin's wildest clubs, fallen icons, intriguing criminal cases, a rescue staircase for beavers, a dramatic escape from the GDR, and much more.

Your journey begins at the East Side Gallery, where you can witness the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall. There's no better place to understand and feel the division of Germany. Your voyage continues through Schillingbrücke, past Radialsystem, opening up to the charming inner-city village quarter of Holzmarkt. This area boasts a theatre, bars, eateries, a brewery, bakery, schnapps distillery, concert hall, and one of the city's most renowned clubs.

As you glide past the historic S-Bahn arches and through Janowitzbrücke, you'll encounter the Chinese Embassy and C-Base, home to the world's largest computer hacker association. You'll also see remnants of the now-vanished nightclubs Kiki Blofeld and Kater Holzig. As your journey heads eastward, you'll pass by Oberbaum Bridge and Osthafen. Just a stone's throw away, you'll sail past Badeschiff, Hoppetossee, ghost ship Ingrid Wengler, and Molecule Man.

Beyond Elsenbrücke unfolds the verdant panorama of Alt Stralau and Treptower Park. To conclude your tour, there's a brief pause allowing for a photo opportunity in front of Berlin's most beautiful bridge.
