Baths and Lakes

A warm summer's evening at Krumme Lanke: the quacking of the ducks, the sun going down, a leisurely spot of backstroke. Or an early morning round of exercise, in the middle of winter, at 6.30am, at the SSE indoor swimming and diving pool at the Europa-Sportpark: a few quick lengths to get you fit to face the day. In Berlin there are more than 100 options for cooling off in the water. These include a number of natural waterways – after all, Berlin has more water than the Alpine lakes, and a broad range of outdoor and indoor pools. There's something for everyone. Fancy a dip?
