"Welcome to Peacock Island. Yes, you read that correctly. This beautiful island in Berlin is home to free-roaming peacocks, hence its name, and its fairytale-esque scenery makes for a great photo op (brownie points if a peacock photobombs you!).
The island is a wonderful trip from Berlin. With the palace being closed, I think a few hours is sufficient to marvel at the romantic beauty and capture your photos.
Price: You will only need to pay the price of public transportation (roughly 3-4 EUR one way).
How to get there: Take the S7 to Berlin-Wannsee. If coming from Alexanderplatz, take the train in the direction of Potsdam Hbf. From Wannsee, you can take the 218 Stadtbus toward Pfaueninsel and get off the Pfaueninsel stop. This is the closest stop to the ferry.
Know before you go: Unfortunately, the island's palace is closed for renovations until 2024. The island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so dogs, bikes, and smoking are forbidden. The commute may take about an hour, depending on where you're coming from in Berlin."
