Free paddling on the Spree, free drinks and plenty of discounts: this summer, as part of the BerlinPay promotional weeks, experience unique moments on Berlin’s waterways whilst doing a good deed.
What is BerlinPay:
Whether canoeing along the canal, taking a steamboat trip on the Spree or enjoying dinner on the riverbank: Berlin’s summer takes place by the water. And that is precisely why visitBerlin is launching BerlinPay 2026, a series of promotional weeks running from 14 May to 14 June, dedicated to environmentally conscious water tourism in Berlin.
Everything we do has an impact on our environment: Berlin is one of the first major cities to adopt the approach of the successful international project CopenPay from Copenhagen. BerlinPay aims to inspire visitors and Berliners to travel in a more environmentally conscious way and to show that even small changes can make a big difference – and be rewarded.
How it works:
What do you get? During the BerlinPay weeks, selected partners offer you very special promotions and rewards: exclusive art workshops by the water, guided kayak tours, tree-watering activities or the chance to help organise inclusive beach days.
What do you need to do? Take your bike instead of a car on your next adventure, use your canoe trip to help clean up the Spree a little, or support a social project.
Please check our website in advance to find out how to register for your chosen activity or book your place in advance.
Help make Berlin’s water tourism more sustainable and get rewarded for your commitment by BerlinPay partners!

Environment and education: get involved, discover, act sustainably
During BerlinPay, numerous Berlin museums and environmental initiatives are presenting exhibitions, guided tours and activities that explore sustainability themes in an engaging way - making your visit a special and rewarding experience. The special exhibition Ocean Futures at Futurium takes a look into the future of our oceans, whilst on a tour of Charlottenburg you’ll hear entertaining local stories about drinking fountains and refill stations.
On the water: Discover Berlin’s waterways
There are more bridges spanning the Spree, Havel and Landwehr Canal in Berlin than there are over the canals of Venice. So it goes without saying that you really should explore the capital from the water in summer. With BerlinPay, your eco-friendly activities become a reward in themselves – a special experience. At Marina Lanke, you’ll receive a picnic bag to keep you going during sailing courses. You can join in the dragon boat race with a team spirit. The Van Loon restaurant boats will treat your taste buds. Experience Berlin from the water and look forward to discounts and free canoe hire.
Reward partners: Every action counts – and is rewarded
In addition, selected partners are supporting BerlinPay with Berlin vouchers, which we have compiled for you here. Berlin City Tours offers fascinating city tours along the many sights on its legendary hop-on, hop-off buses, and Haus Zenner will treat you to two scoops of ice cream or a complimentary drink. Look forward to some great offers and discounts.
