There's nothing more pleasant than strolling beside a river and watching the water as it makes its way downstream. Why not pack a picnic basket and spend a quiet couple of hours at Havel?

If you're staying a while in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Havel is a fine place to kick off your exploring. This flowing body of water is one of numerous attractions that'll keep you busy here. Olympiastadion, Waldbühne, and Sanssouci Palace are also waiting for you nearby.

17.2/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)

The hotel was clean and very nice but no one tells you about the parking garage (if you use their parking). You get a key fob, they tell you to scan it and it will open the tiny one-door garage. Your car has to fit perfectly in the little tray and then the garage shuts and the car elevator goes all the way down to the basement. I wasn’t aware that my husband should not have been in the car as it was lowered. I panicked and had to call him back up with the fob, hoping he hadn’t opened any doors while he was down there. There are instructions in German but I’m American and the front desk agent didn’t explain the process to me. Thank God my husband wasn’t hurt down there.
