As temperatures rise this summer, Germany's city beaches provide urban getaways for those craving sun and relaxation. The article highlights the top six city beaches, including the Herr Walter in Dortmund, a converted freight ship offering views of the harbor; Övelgönne beach in Hamburg, allowing barbecuing and camping while enjoying container ship views; and the expansive Strandbad Wansee in Berlin, Europe's largest outdoor swimming pool. Each beach provides a unique character and diverse activities for summer enjoyment, making them ideal spots for city dwellers.
Unlike a number of city beaches on this list, the Herr Walter charges an admission fee of €3, but – according to Ruhr24.de – "You're partying on an old ship with a view of cranes, water, the sunset, and a cool crowd. It's got character. It's urban, relaxed, and really charming."
The beach, which starts behind Övelgönne and is easy to reach by bus or ferry, is free to visit and offers a wild variety of beach bars and restaurants.
To create just the right vibe, the beach has everything you need to relax and enjoy the warm summer days, while being surrounded by beautiful nature which is unusual for such an urban area.
As summer finally arrives and temperatures rise, city beaches present a perfect escape for urban dwellers wanting to enjoy sun and sand.
