Berlin's best beaches 2025: The top 3 for unforgettable summer days!

The meteorological summer began on June 1st and Berlin's temperatures are attracting people outdoors. In keeping with the hot season, Berlin Live magazine has published a ranking of the best beaches in Berlin. In this ranking, the Badeschiff, a floating oasis on the Spree, secured second place. With 98 points, it not only impresses with its pool, which is built directly into the Spree, but also with its special evening offers with DJs and live acts. A real highlight for anyone looking for a refreshing break! Berlin Live reports on the criteria used to create the ranking, including distance, monthly search volume and reviews on platforms such as Tripadvisor.

First place goes to the Pankower Weißensee, a more than 100-year-old outdoor swimming pool located in the middle of a beautiful park. With a full score of 100 points, this outdoor pool has a lot to offer - not least a bar and a restaurant that invite you to a relaxing day by the water.

The bathing ship in detail

The Badeschiff is not only a place for swimming, but also a popular event location. Access is via a time slot online ticket or a reservation via the Urban Sports Club. The opening times vary and the Badeschiff remains closed a few days a week. If you plan to use the pool, you should get a ticket in advance - the price is 8 euros per person for a time slot. This lasts for two hours in which you can use the 25 meter long pool (with a depth of 2 meters, suitable only for swimmers). Contact information is below Bathing ship available.

Particularly interesting: The Badeschiff attaches great importance to water quality. Daily checks by swimming masters and regular checks by the health department guarantee the highest level of hygiene. However, dogs are not permitted on site and due to minor construction work, conventional bicycle parking spaces are not available. Tip: Eichenstraße offers a good alternative for cyclists.

Family-friendly beaches in Berlin

In addition to the trendy beaches like Badeschiff, there are also numerous municipal beaches in Berlin that are located on lakes. Not only are these perfect for families, but they also offer a variety of entertainment options including slides and sports. To do this, we recommend buying a summer multiple ticket from the Berliner Bäderbetriebe - ideal for all frequent swimmers. Top10 Berlin also lists the ten most beautiful beaches that are worth a visit.

Whether in the trendy Badeschiff or one of the numerous beach resorts: Berlin's beaches are very popular this summer. It remains to be seen whether the Badeschiff can defend its second place next year and perhaps work its way up further. A visit is definitely worth it!
