Villas in Rheinsberg
Rheinsberg suits couples who want a lakeside palace town and boating water in northern Brandenburg. Homes are scattered around the town and its lake villages, and most suit two. Berlin's airport is almost two hours' drive away and public transport is slower, so this is a place to stay put rather than a base for city trips.

About Rheinsberg
Rheinsberg is a town of around 8,000 people on the Grienericksee and the river Rhin; its municipality has 17 localities, and Flecken Zechlin counts as a suburb. Its palace on the lake's east shore is where the young Frederick the Great moved as crown prince shortly after his marriage in 1733; in 1744 he gave it to his brother, Prince Henry. Today it is a museum and also houses the Kurt Tucholsky literary museum. The homes are spread around the town and its lakes, in gently rolling country dominated by pine woods. The lakes are linked by navigable water, and through canals and locks you can boat from Rheinsberg all the way to the North Sea.

Can you visit Rheinsberg Palace?
Yes. After long restoration the palace is open as a museum, and it also holds the Kurt Tucholsky literary museum, named after the writer whose 1912 book Rheinsberg grew out of a weekend trip.
Can you take a boat from Rheinsberg?
You can. The Grienericksee is part of a federal waterway, and through the canals and locks of the Mecklenburg lake district a boat can travel from Rheinsberg all the way to the North Sea.
Is Rheinsberg good for a couple's break?
It suits couples best. Most homes here are one-bedroom places for two, and many list a fireplace, so check each listing; the palace, its gardens and the lake are the main attractions.
How far is Rheinsberg from Berlin?
About 75 km north-west of the capital. From Berlin Brandenburg Airport the drive takes around an hour and three-quarters, while public transport needs a train via Hennigsdorf to Neuruppin and then a bus.
