A city full of surprises and contrasts, Berlin is hard to describe. Berlin is bustling, colourful and has a very special charm. The city is a lively metropolis with unique neighbourhood life, yet it also hides a surprising number of peaceful oases and nature. You can experience adventure and relaxation at the same time with us on 11 Tours. Spread out across the city, the routes take you to parks, gardens and forests. Take a breather at one of the beautiful lakeshores and learn something new about Berlin’s history and culture as you ride your bike from your neighbour straight into nature.
You will find plenty of sightseeing a lush green in the capital’s centre. The famous Kurfürstendamm avenue, the Brandenburg Gate, the modern Potsdamer Platz and charming neighbourhood culture – there’s a lot to see and do. With a hearty helping of forests and lakes en route, the Tours through the city are wonderful and varied. In northwestern Reinickendorf, the cherry tree blossom paints the streets pink in springtime. You cycle from one beautiful park to the next or around the gorgeous Tegeler See lake which has lots of pretty swimming spots.
On the outskirts of the districts of Pankow, Treptow-Köpenick, Spandau and Tempelhof-Schöneberg, you can look forward to romantic fields, dense forests of fragrant pines and quaint streams. Just follow the Berlin Wall Trail, dive into the idyllic Wuhletal or the Spandauer Forest. On hot summer days, you can visit Berlin’s coldest spot, the Eiskeller, a former exclave of West Berlin in Spandau.
All Tours start and end either centrally or at one of the easily accessible S-Bahn stations. You can cycle them with your family and, if you want even more distance and adventure, you can also combine some of them together. There’s more information in the Tour descriptions. Now it’s just up to you when you decide to discover Berlin’s diversity from your saddle.
