Product Info

-What you can expect-
This private bike tour connects the City West with the City East and takes you past the most important sights of Berlin! Cycle leisurely through the city with your guide and hear interesting facts about Berlin's most iconic landmarks, from the Berlin Zoo to Alexanderplatz.

You'll start completely without car traffic in the Tiergarten and cycle leisurely past the Gaslaternen-Freiluftmuseum via the Café am Neuen See and the Spanish Embassy to the Großer Stern with the Victory Column. Then continue through the Tiergarten, the Luiseninsel and near Potsdamer Platz, from there along the Holocaust Memorial to the Brandenburg Gate. You'll soon leave the street "Unter den Linden" with its embassies and representative buildings to reach the Gendarmenmarkt, perhaps the most beautiful square in Berlin, which invites you for a coffee or dinner break.

Back to the "Linden", you'll pedal straight east on the boulevard, taking a look at the Opera Square, the principal of the "Forum Fridericianum" cast in bronze, i.e. Frederick II, the Humboldt University, the State Opera House, the Armory and the New Guard, the rebuilt former City Palace (Humboldt Forum), the Old Museum and the Berlin Cathedral - depending on the interest of the group from a distance or a little closer up. The endpoint is either the bustling Alexanderplatz or the starting point Savignyplatz.
