When autumn and winter bring cold and dark days or even on a day of rain, the swimming pools of Berlin offer the best possibilities to do aquafitness, sweat in a sauna or just do your rounds in the pool to stay fit. Some of the venues focus on sports, others more on the leisure and entertainment aspect. Other pools are listed buildings due to their antiquity and have been carefully refurbished and renovated in the past years. Tip of the Top10 Team: We've focused on especially nice swimming pools since swimming in such historic bathing palaces is also a treat for your eyes.
