Swimming in
Berlin

Enjoy the sun, relax on the water - those seeking a summer swimming lake in Berlin are truly spoiled for choice

There may be no ocean in sight, but believe it or not, Berlin is a fantastic swimming and sunbathing location, from forest-lakes to cool floating swimming pools, there is a place to swim and relax for everyone in this uber green city.

Here are just a few of our favourite Berlin lakes as well as a couple in the surrounding state of Brandenburg.
