The one-hour tour on the lovingly restored ship passes you by Berlin's most important sights. The ship departs directly from the banks of the Reichstag Spree. After being greeted by the uniformed crew, the Hemingway sets off eastward. The route takes in Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, the government district with the Chancellery and Reichstag, the Victory Column, the main railway station and the Nikolai quarter with the Mühlendamm lock. An audio guide in German or English provides interesting facts about the sights.
