The Badeschiff is one of Berlin's most distinctive places to swim, a pool set into a barge that floats on the Spree in Treptow. Part lido, part beach bar, the Badeschiff lets you swim over the river while looking back at the city skyline. This tag collects Berlin locations tied to this stretch of the waterfront.
In summer the deck fills with sunloungers, sand and a bar, and the water stays busy from morning until late. As the season turns, the site reinvents itself with saunas and covered pools for winter bathing. It sits beside the Arena complex in Alt Treptow, an easy walk from the river and the surrounding clubs and event spaces.
