BerlinPay Partner Offers and Rewards

• What is BerlinPay? BerlinPay is an initiative by visitBerlin and the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises under the motto “Do Good for Good.” As a pilot project, it rewards responsible tourism and engagement around Berlin’s waterways through tangible benefits and experiences. Anyone who behaves responsibly on or around the water — for example by beautifying neighbourhoods, supporting social projects or collecting litter — receives rewards from participating partners, ranging from free activities and discounts to exclusive offers. 
• Website: visitBerlin.de/berlinpay, online from 13 May 2026, 2 p.m. 
• Programme period: 14 May – 14 June 2026 

• Objectives: promote responsible tourism, protect Berlin’s waterways and experience them as valuable natural spaces, connect engagement, education and tourism offers, and encourage sustainable mobility 
• Focus on water: Summer is the ideal time to experience Berlin on and around the water. With around 80 lakes, 39 public bathing spots, countless waterways and 960 bridges, the German capital is one of the most water-rich cities in the country. These areas are both places of recreation and sensitive natural habitats that require special care. BerlinPay highlights and rewards engagement exactly where it matters most. 

• The principle: Take part and benefit. Responsible actions are rewarded.
