Pfaueninsel, Berlin

Very peaceful island and close to Berlin. One has to take a ferry ride to the island but the ride only lasts a minute or less. The distance between the shores is very small. There is only one bus service (218) which takes you to the pfaueninsel and at the last stop you get a ferry which costs 4 euro per person. But the island is very peaceful and well maintained. Worth a visit for a nature lover.

Pleasant couple of hours walking on the island. Crossing is easy with a regular ferry. One small disappointment: we only saw one single peacock walking around, which wasn't in a cage.

Great place to visit for both young and old. The island is very peaceful; bikes, smoking and music are all not allowed. We've seen 4 peacocks wondering around, and heard the voices of many others. The ferry station to the island is reachable via public transport (bus), by car and by bike. If you come with a car, make sure to park in one of the official parking lots, otherwise you might get a ticket. The ferry itself takes a single minute, costs 4€ per adult, and departs every 10-20 minutes (at least in summer days). The island trails and the ferry are all baby stroller friendly.

Beautiful peacock island at the edge of Berlin. Used to be a vacation home of the Prussian king

Excellent place for families and people looking for relaxation far away from crowded places.
