The Pfaueninsel is one of Berlin's most romantic spots, a peaceful island in the Havel reached by a short ferry ride. A UNESCO listed landscape park, the Pfaueninsel is home to roaming peacocks, a fairy tale palace and rare trees. This overview gathers Berlin locations around the island.
Cars are banned, so the island stays wonderfully quiet, its meadows and woods dotted with follies and a white palace built for a Prussian king. Peacocks wander freely, and the Havel views and shady paths make it a favourite for a gentle day out. The nearby Wannsee area adds beaches and boat trips.
