Swans glide across Berlin's lakes and canals, a graceful sight in the city's many green spaces. Watching swans here is a peaceful pleasure on a waterside walk. This overview gathers Berlin locations where they gather.
Lakes like the Wannsee, the Mueggelsee and the smaller ponds in parks such as the Tiergarten and Treptower Park are home to swans, ducks and other waterbirds. Canal paths and the Spree add more, and rowing boats let you share the water. Spring brings cygnets, a favourite with families and photographers.

On the Landwehr Canal in Kreuzberg lies Urbanhafen, where swans glide through the water, sunbathing lawns invite you to linger, and flirting almost happens by itself. Singer Funny van Dannen sang about it, Berlin has known it for a long time: Anyone who sits here is rarely alone for long.
