Berlin East Side Tour 2.5 hour cruise with commentary
34 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the BWSG is offering a boat tour that traces part of the border in what is now East Berlin. In addition to the many changes that can be discovered from the water in the old and new center of the city, the EAST-SIDE-TOUR shows above all the latest developments in the shadow of the "East-Side-Gallery" - this 1.3 km long concrete remnant of the Berlin Wall, whose post-reunification pictures are currently being lovingly restored and whose name was the inspiration for this tour. With the Oberbaumbrücke, the redesigned Osthafen, the Molecule Men and the passage through the MÜhlendammschleuse, Berlin's cradle of urban development, this tour offers very special highlights. This city tour on the Spree is rounded off with a trip through the parliament and government district, with the Reichstag building and the Federal Chancellery.
