Swim aboard
Badeschiff, Berlin, Germany
View Original Description
Berliners clamber aboard the Badeschiff (literally, "bathing ship"), which floats southeast of this vibrant cultural hub's city center, in the Spree River. The 90-foot-long, seven-foot-deep, bright blue pool was created in May 2004 from a converted barge and is now open throughout the year. Come summer, yoga classes, concerts, and movie screenings lure hipsters here to hang out on the adjacent floating wood platform, at the cafe and on the man-made beach. During the winter, a translucent shell protects swimmers, and a pair of saunas materializes alongside the pool.
The Badeschiff is open May–September and November–March and cost about $6
The hours are: Summer, daily, 8 a.m.–12 a.m.; winter, $17 for three hours, opening times vary according to day.
