Berlin Pools Plan First Long Night of Swimming
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the city’s public pool operator will keep 16 facilities open until midnight, some even longer. Saunas will join in, and teams can already sign up for a paddling festival in January.
The Berliner Bäder-Betriebe (BBB) is set to launch the first Long Night of Swimming on Friday, October 30th, 2026, with 16 swimming facilities extending their hours until midnight, and some even later. The event will see the operation of swimming halls at various locations, including the Europasportpark, city baths in Charlottenburg, Neukölln, Tiergarten, Lankwitz and Schöneberg, as well as the swimming halls at Sewanstrasse and Ernst-Thälmann-Park.
The outdoor pool Sommerbad Kreuzberg will also participate on its final day of the season, with guests enjoying the atmosphere under floodlights and access to two barrel saunas until 10 p.m. An air-supported hall at the Seestrasse combined pool will feature a light installation, creating a unique setting for the evening. Admission is available at the regular price, with a 20 percent discount on admission and saunas at Sommerbad Kreuzberg.
The event is part of a series of upcoming activities, including the indoor dragon boat festival at the SSE on January 23rd and 24th, 2027, and the Fun Cup starting on Saturday, January 23rd, with free spectator access.
