Island Nature / Park

• ©

Situated along the River Havel and only accessible by a small ferry, the nature reserve of Pfaueninsel makes up part of the World Heritage Site of the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin. The island, named after the free-roaming peacocks that live here, feels a world away from Germany's bustling capital. Besides its colorful feathered residents, the park is home to a number of other attractions, including a striking white medieval-style palace built by Friedrich Wilhelm II from 1794 to 1797. Admire the architecture and wander the grounds, where you can encounter a range of fauna alongside the peacocks. Snack shacks are located near the ferry drop-off. Take a look at our Berlin planner to schedule your visit to Pfaueninsel and learn about what else to see and do during your holiday.

  Im Sommer am Wochenende ätzend voll. Wenn man einen schlecht besuchten Tag erwischt, ist es aber wunderschön, still und leer genug, um die Geometrie der Gartenanlage auf sich wirken zu lassen.  more »

  In summer on weekends corrosive full. But when you catch a badly attended day, it's beautiful, quiet and empty enough to make the geometry of the garden look like it.

  Idyllisch und märchenhaft. Kleine Insel mit Schloß im Wannsee auf die man nur mit der Fähre (2 min) übersetzen kann. Unbedingt sehenswert solange das Wetter gut ist.  more »

  Idyllic and fairytale.com. Small island with castle in the Wannsee to which you can only translate by ferry (2 min). Absolutely worth seeing as long as the weather is good.

  Loved this place. It's very beautifull and serene. My toddler found the peacocks very interesting. We had a great family day here!
