The historic city cruise by ship is the right way to feel the heartbeat of the city. The guests of the “Stern” begin their one hour shipping at Friedrichstraße. You’ll pass the Reichstag, the new government district and the “house of cultures of the world”. After the transposition maneuver in front of the Lutherbrücke (a famous bridge), with a view to Schloss Bellevue (a castle), to the "Beamtenschlange" and the victory column, you will encounter further witnesses to history: the new central railway station, the cathedral, the museum island and the oldest neighborhood of Berlin, the Nikolaiviertel. The tour will be accompanied per audio guide in six languages; coffee will be served during the trip. | |||
