History Meets Culture

Berlin bike tours.

Bewitching Berlin, the captivating capital of Germany, owes its status to a superb artistic culture and diverse wealth of history. It's a city where old meets new, where the splendid roof of the Berliner Dom vies with the futuristic TV Tower to be the star of the city's skyline.

Berlin's city streets are defined not only by grand architectural structures, including the Berliner Dom, Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, and Berlin City Palace, but also by moving memorials, such as the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and by symbols of the city's political struggles, including the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie. Tonics to Berlin's urbanity include the nurturing natural spaces of the Tiergarten and River Spree. Hip artistic neighborhoods like Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg give the city its eccentric, alternative edge.

Discovering this dazzling and deeply thought-provoking city is easiest on a guided bicycle tour of Berlin, allowing you to take in during half a day what would take you several days to explore on foot. Historical commentary from a guide brings the legacies and ambitions of the city to life, whilst opening up a wealth of insiders' insights into the best bars and restaurants to unwind in after your adventure on two wheels.

Whether you want to ride through the history of the Third Reich, cycle to spectacular street art stops, or simply tour the most famous sightseeing spots of the city, there's a family-friendly day tour perfect for you, with the added benefit of bike rental.

Thank you for a great tour! We had Alicia as our guide. She had a great knowledge about the history of Berlin and communicated in a manner anyone could follow! Touring the city on the bike was a great experience as we saw much more than we could have by foot within the same period of time. Signe B. Berlin Highlights Bike Tour
I have taken several guided tours in my life and this was the best tour I ever had. Our guide, Ronin, was timely and affable and the bikes were decent. We didn’t just ride around  Potsdam  – we got a thorough history lesson of medieval Germany up through the WWII  Potsdam  Conference. Ronin was an expert in German history: Frederich’s and Wilhelm’s, Nazi’s, you name it. I was very impressed and highly recommend this tour. Brian B Gardens & Palaces of Potsdam Bike Tour
Felix our guide was very well informed and brought history to life through the stories of individuals at various stages of the Cold War. The stop points were all interesting, our safety was considered at all times and Felix was good humoured and flexible. He delivered the information in a well paced interesting, human way. Jessica Berlin Wall Bike Tour
Wonderful 3 h trip with Nate and we saw the main sights, got the complex history, impressively explained with a pavement chalk visual and we loved all we did. Very safely managed through the streets and all professionally done start to finish. Easy flat cycling for all ages and group age was 20 to 65 I guess. Definitely a treat of the weekend visit. Great location to go from as so well linked with the city transport wherever you are staying. Louise B. Berlin Highlights Bike Tour
This was our first city bike tour but it won’t be our last . Well organized from start to finish and our guide was excellent – just the right amount and sort of information. We took the opportunity to rent the bikes for the rest of the day which was perfect too ! Liz W. Berlin Highlights Bike Tour
Ronan is an extraordinary font of  Third Reich  History knowledge, plus has the ability to tell a darn good story. Wish we had had history teachers like Ronan at school. A complete joy from start to finish. This is the third Fat Bike Tour I have taken ( 2 in London ) and they have all been of an equally high quality. Thanks. Sarah B. Third Reich & Nazi Berlin Bike Tour
Had a great time with Kearon. The food was delicious and it was great to tour around Berlin and night. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Berlin. Barbara A. Berlin Food Tour by Bike
We take an annual city break with friends and in recent years have used a Segway tour as a good way of getting our bearings. The Fat Tire tour of Berlin is the best we have had, mainly thanks to Geoff our guide, who was excellent in every way, especially knowledgeable on the history of Berlin and geared his tour info on what we were all interested in, especially the story of the  Berlin Wall . Other staff were pleasant and the hot tea at the end of the tour on what was quite a chilly day was most welcome! 5 stars and a big thank you for a great start to our city break. Ian Berlin City Segway Tour
Amazing tour, so much fun and informative. Gave me quite a bit of insight into the different elements in Berlin’s history. The tour is very well organized, bikes are in excellent shape, and the 3 hour duration was just about right. Our tour guide Alicia was super friendly. She knows Berlin and its history very well, and explained everything in an easy and fun way. She also helped with recommendations on what to do in Berlin beyond the tour. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Berlin Khaled N. Berlin Highlights Bike Tour

Bike tours tracing the route of the Wall

Discover a Berlin highlight: the bike tour on the Wall Trail along the former Wall strip. Cycle along the former, mostly asphalted Kolonnenweg. In spring, you'll encounter beautiful cherry blossoms in bloom along this route. 

In Berlin's city centre, the course of the Wall is partly marked with a cobbled strip, mostly you can follow the traces of the Wall on quiet side streets. On the Wall Trail, you can circle the former West Berlin once, or simply drive a section that you like. One thing is certain, however: variety is guaranteed. The path takes you right through the city centre, past architecture and monuments and also into the greenery .

Cycling in Berlin

Bike touring

A city of tremendous history side-by-side with thriving modernity, cycling in Berlin is an outstanding way to not just explore the iconic streets but also get out into nature. An exceptionally bike-friendly city, you’ll find cycle paths and designated trails everywhere you look for safe, blissful pedaling. 

Cycle routes through Berlin will quickly make you forget you’re even in a capital city. Incredibly green and sharing its landscape with rivers, canals and lakes, riding in Berlin is utterly gorgeous. The River Spree is the lifeblood of Germany’s capital and you can follow it right through the city, with detours into the grand neighbouring parks and frequent pauses at cafes. 

The old airfield of the Tempelhof district is a vast area now dedicated to outdoor recreation and an ideal place for a picnic. Ride deep into nature in the lovely Grunewald Forest in the city’s south west or cycle out into the wider, verdant state of Brandenburg.

Bike Beyond Berlin was founded and is run by Marc Po orterman. Originally from Holland, he grew up on a bike, and eventually followed his heart to Berlin to get more inspired and in touch with nature. Since 2017 he has worked as a cycling tour guide throughout Europe (and beyond), and in 2019 he started organizing day trips out of his beloved Berlin.

Bike Beyond Berlin is based on the belief that cycling is the ultimate way of discovering new places. It allows you to really connect to the world around you, getting you out of your head and into the actual experience. Marc loves to combine his extensive experience in cycling and traveling with a passion for sharing history and inspiring others. Living in Berlin and venturing out by bike, discovering the beautiful nature surrounding the city, which at the same time is so full of history, made him want to share this amazing region with other adventurous and active souls.

Our guide Jasper (or Jesper, not sure about the spelling) can be highly recommended. His friendly and communicative way made it easy for everybody in the group to feel comfortable. It was not only facts about the past but he also embedded information about the present in his talks. A fresh approach to discover a city. Read more Written November 9, 2023

Our supporters were very happy with the organisation, and our guide (Martin) guided us to these spots via parks and roads that were accesible only via bikes. Our runners were very pleased to spot us at these locations, and they were very motivated to keep going all the way. Besides supporting our runners, we had the opportunity to watch the elite runners (especially Eluid Kipchoge) up close at the 37km mark.

Berlin 3-Hour Bike Tour: Berlin's Best provided by Free Berlin - Authentische Radtouren

Berlin by bike: Suggested itinerary & how to do it

Exploring Berlin by bike is by far the best way to discover Germany’s vibrant capital. Berlin’s bike culture is a cornerstone of its identity, and cycling through Berlin is an immersive experience. Even if you are for just three days in Berlin , renting a bike will show you hidden city corners. After using a bike for several years in Berlin, I decided to share a Berlin-by-bike guide to help you see as much as possible during your stay.

Specifically, you will find a suggested bike itinerary in the following lines, including several points of interest in downtown Berlin. The itinerary is great for first-time and returning visitors to the city. Moreover, you’ll find a map with the bike route, and I’ll share some helpful tips for cycling in the city. Additionally, I’ll write about the best bike rentals in town and the top cycling tours you can book if you don’t feel like riding on your own.

So, let’s see how you can discover Berlin by bike and make the most of your stay.

Berlin by bike: Suggested Itinerary

Although you can rent a bike in Berlin and pedal wherever the roads take you, having an itinerary will help you in sightseeing. I included loads of famous city locations in this cycling itinerary so you won’t miss any key attractions. You can easily conclude the route in one day, but if you feel like taking it easier or need more time for some attractions, you can split it into two or even three days. As a final note, I entered as a starting point the famous Alexanderplatz; apparently, you can start from any other point.

And here’s what to see while riding through downtown Berlin by bike.

Alexanderplatz

Home to the iconic TV Tower (Fernsehturm), the Red City Hall (Rotes Rathaus), and the World Clock, Alexanderplatz is among the city’s biggest squares. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time in town or the tenth: the chances are that you’ll stop at least once at Alexanderplatz. The square is also one of the biggest transportation hubs in the city, and its proximity to places of interest makes it an ideal starting point.

Renting a bike at Alexanderplatz is easy, and as you’ll read later in the guide, it’s probably the best starting point for your bike tours.

Alexanderplatz tip

On a sunny day, don’t miss the opportunity to take the elevator to the top of the TV Tower. The city views are stunning, and you’ll get a good impression of how extended Berlin is. You can book a TV Tower ticket here .

Museum’s island

After leaving Alexanderplatz behind, follow the Karl Liebknecht Strasse toward the Berliner Dom, the city’s famous Cathedral. It will be on your right hand, and exactly opposite, you’ll see the newly built Humboldt Forum. History and art lovers will find paradise on the Museum Island (Museumsinsel). It consists of five museums and even if you aren’t interested in the arts, you should see at least the impressive buildings.

The Museum Island consists of five museums: the Altes Museum, the Neues Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Bode-Museum, and the Pergamonmuseum. In late 2019, the James Simon Gallery was added to the complex. You can easily spend a whole day on the location, but if you don’t have enough time, visit at least one of them for a glimpse into the city’s history and art tradition.

Museum’s island tip

If you plan to visit two or more museums, consider buying the Museum’s Island pass. It gives you free access to every collection in the complex for a day. You can purchase your Museum’s Island pass here .

The Brandenburg Gate

After visiting the Museum’s island, ride through Unten der Linden, the most famous boulevard of former East Berlin. After a few minutes, you will reach the Pariser Platz, the square where the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) stands. This neoclassical monument has been a city landmark since the 18th century. That’s actually the spot where Berliners celebrated the Fall of the Wall in 1989. Today, it’s one of the most-visited locations in town.

Straight after crossing the Gate, on your left hand, you’ll see the US Embassy. Straight next to it, you’ll find the impressive Holocaust Memorial commemorating the murdered Jews of Europe. After visiting it, return to the Brandenburg Gate to continue your itinerary.

Brandenburg Gate tip

If you have an interest in wax figures, shortly before the Brandenburg Gate, you’ll come across the Madame Tussauds Museum. The queues are usually long, even off-season, so if visiting it is a must, make sure to pre-book a ticket. You can buy your Madame Tussauds ticket here .

Reichstag & the Government Quarter

  Δείτε αυτή τη δημοσίευση στο Instagram.   Η δημοσίευση κοινοποιήθηκε από το χρήστη George Pavlopoulos (@exil_et_royaume)

With the Brandenburg Gate to your back, turn right toward the Reichstag -you can see it already on your right-hand side. Known for its glass dome, the Reichstag hosts the German Federal Parliament and is among the most well-known buildings of the German capital. The vast area next to it is nowadays home to various modern administrative buildings, and it’s called Regierungsviertel or Government Quarter.

For easy-going cycling, that’s a perfect spot for pedaling around stress-free, as there will be no cars around.

Reichstag tip

It’s possible to visit the glass dome of the Reichstag and enjoy panoramic city views. However, you should first enroll with the German authorities and pre-book a narrow time slot for your visit. You can book your Reichstag visit here .

The former West Berlin and the Zoo

After leaving the Reichstag building behind, it’s time to head toward the heart of former West Berlin . Take the Schneidemann Strasse and decide if you’d like to cycle through a park or a main street. For both options, you’ll have to turn left to Tiergarten, one of the biggest metropolitan parks in Europe. The bike lanes will take you all the way to the Berlin Zoo . On the other hand, if you’d rather cycle on the asphalt, the 17 Juni Strasse is a straight, long avenue that’ll bring you to the same location.

The area around the Berlin Zoo is home to famous art institutions, like the Museum for Photography and the c/o Berlin, but also next to the iconic Kurfürstendamm Avenue. Although Kurfürstendamm (or just Ku’damm) has no bike lanes, it’s a fun bike ride, so make sure to see part of it while riding.

As for its most famous landmark, that’s hands down the Gedächtniskirche, the renowned church that is left partly ruined on purpose, as a reminder of World War II.

Berlin Zoo tip

The Zoo of Berlin is one of the largest in Europe, and next to it, you’ll also find an Aquarium. It’s a nice spot to unwind and stroll around; you can book a ticket for the Zoo here .

Potsdamer Platz & Checkpoint Charlie

After getting a good impression of West Berlin’s historic center, it’s time to start cycling again. This time, follow the Tiergarten Strasse and head to Potsdamer Platz . That’s one of Berlin’s commercial centers and the neighborhood of skyscrapers. Don’t imagine anything like New York, but it’s a unique -even a tad faceless- city area. From there, continue to the iconic Checkpoint Charlie, the most famous border-crossing point during the Wall era.

Close to it, you’ll find the Topography of Terror and the Jewish Museum .

Checkpoint Charlie tip

Next to Checkpoint Charlie, you’ll see the Asisi Wall Panorama. That’s a 360-degree art installation created by artist Yadegar Asisi. It depicts an autumn day in West Berlin in the 1980s with a view of the barracks and fortifications of the Wall era. I wrote a separate post about it, and you can read more about the Asisi Wall Panorama here .

Kreuzberg and Neukölln

Berlin has twelve boroughs, and if you are searching for the famous alternative Berlin, it’s time to cycle towards Kreuzberg and Neukölln . It was Kreuzberg that once created Berlin’s identity as a hub for artists and alternative lifestyle -and nowadays, Neukölln is following its steps. The two neighborhoods lie next to each other, and cycling through them will expose you to Berlin’s easygoing rhythms.

The Oranienstrasse serves as an introduction to Kreuzberg, but all the side streets are full of cafes, bars, and creative shops. Ride across the Admiralbrücke and explore the smaller streets of Berlin. Keep in mind that the last stop of this bike tour itinerary is the East Side Gallery, so don’t drive too south!

Kreuzberg and Neukölln tip

Close to both neighborhoods, you can visit the former Tempelhof Airport. A civilian airport for decades, the so-called Tempelhofer Feld has been converted into the city’s biggest open space. You can cycle around the airport, picnic, and enjoy your free time. On a sunny day, everybody seems to have the same idea, so make sure to visit for a break.

The East Side Gallery

So, after exploring the alternative neighborhoods of Berlin, it’s time to head to the last stop of this Berlin bike tour. You’ll drive toward the famous East Side Gallery , the 1.3 km remaining part of the Berlin Wall covered with paintings by international artists. The East Side Gallery is a Berlin landmark and serves as a monument for peace. You can cycle across it, but I recommend locking your bike and strolling along the murals.

After spending time at the East Side Gallery, unlock your bike and drive to Alexanderplatz -or, of course, any other place you want.

East Side Gallery Extra

I’m fond of Polaroids and shot a film roll at East Side Gallery. If you want to see extra impressions from the location in analog format, see my Polaroids from East Side Gallery here .

Berlin by bike: A map for the itinerary

Here, you can find the map for this Berlin bike itinerary . The route described in the previous lines is 21 km long (13 miles) to some of the most iconic spots of Berlin. I suggest you discover the city at your own cycling rhythm and make frequent stops to rest and do sightseeing.

You can save the itinerary to your Google Maps account by clicking on the star and retrieve it anytime.

Organized bike tours in Berlin, Germany

Since the city is so popular for cyclists, it’s not a surprise that several companies offer guided bike tours in Berlin . That said, if cycling on your own is nothing for you, or if you feel like belonging to a group when riding a bike, there are several options for you.

Therefore, in this section of this Berlin by bike guide , I’ll share the best group tours for cyclists visiting Berlin. As you will see, there are plenty of tours to choose from, and they are thematically organized. Most tours start from as little as 32 euros per person, and, of course, the bike is included.

So, here are the top Berlin bike tours you can book right now.

The Sights and Highlights tour will take you to the most important locations in downtown Berlin, including Museum’s Island.

The Berlin Wall and Third Reich . As its name suggests, this Berlin bike tour will take you to historical locations of 20th-century Berlin.

“Top Secret” Berlin . This 17-kilometer bike ride will take you to lesser-known streets of Berlin, but some famous spots are also included.

Evening food tour . This is the priciest (89 euros) but also the longest tour on this list. You will ride a bike and drive to several eateries where you’ll taste delicious local food.

Where to rent a bike in Berlin

You have two bike rental options in Berlin: a shop or a bike-sharing app.

To put things into perspective, more than 70% of Berliners own a bike. As you can imagine, cycling is extremely popular, translating to hundreds of bike rentals spread around the city. If you are up for this option, search for a bike shop near your hotel (there will be plenty) and visit them to rent a bike. Prices vary and usually start from 20-30 euros per day. Have your passport or ID card with you. Alternatively, if you worry about not finding a bike, you can pre-book a bicycle here and pick it up when you arrive.

A bike-sharing app is the easiest way to rent a bike in Berlin. All you have to do is download an app, enter your personal and credit card (or PayPal) details, and search for a bicycle nearby. In this option, you’ll pay as you go, and most companies charge on a 15-minute basis. However, there’s always a threshold if you decide to keep the bike for a day: you won’t usually pay more than 15 euros per day, even if you keep the bike for 20 hours.

The company I prefer

I always use NextBike for renting bikes in Berlin and (mainly) abroad. Since I own a bike, I don’t usually need to rent one, but I have the NextBike app on my smartphone when I want to be spontaneous. With NextBike, you are charged 1 euro for every 15 minutes of riding. However, if you keep the bike for the whole day, you’ll be charged 15 euros. That’s extremely helpful if you want to stop several times (for a museum visit, a coffee, to rest).

Other companies

There are plenty of companies offering similar services in Berlin. Equally popular is the Donkey Republic and Tier , which specializes in e-bikes.

Berlin by bike: Tips for your cycling tours around the city

In this final section, I’ll add some useful tips for your bike tours in Berlin . Most of these tips are for your safety, but some of them will also inform you of what to expect when riding your bike in Berlin.

  • Berlin has an extended network of bike lanes. Whenever it is available, drive to your lane and avoid being directly on the street.
  • Drive on the right side of your lane. This allows faster cyclists (or those in a rush) to overtake.
  • Respect the traffic lights. Berlin has dedicated traffic lights for the bikes. Always keep an eye on them because some are in big junctions.
  • It is always advised to wear a helmet.
  • Drive slowly. Cycling in a foreign city can be more challenging than riding in your hometown. Apart from that, a slower pace will allow you to see more things around you.
  • Berlin is a flat but windy city. Therefore, cycling is pure joy. Be prepared for some wind, though.
  • Raise your hand when you take a turn. Whenever you are ready to turn right or left, show it with your hand. Lift your hand if you plan to stop.

Berlin by bike: conclusion

Berlin is one of the most bike-friendly European cities. Its flat surface and the extended infrastructure make the city a paradise for cyclists. In addition, cycling is probably the most sustainable and eco-friendly way of transportation, and it lets you discover the city at your own pace.

As a cyclist, I always enjoyed riding a bike in Berlin -actually, much more than any other place. Combined with the wealth of sightseeing, a bicycle is actually the sweetest way to explore a city. So, rent a bike, follow this itinerary, and enjoy Berlin’s beauty and fresh air.

Cycling Berlin’s lively street art & urban art scene

Berlin has always been a mecca for creatives from around the world. The city’s public spaces are alive with the works of artists who strive to define their own ideas of beauty and creativity.

How and where does art and creativity develop in Berlin? It’s all about atmosphere and lifestyle , creativity in a larger context, and influencing and sculpting the urban environment. Where a guerrilla art sculpture stands today, the next luxury loft apartment could take its place tomorrow. 

Street Art Mecca Berlin

Whether in Kreuzberg, Wedding or Mitte, every vacant lot or building facade has the potential to become an exhibition space. From classic street art to urban farming, on this bike tour we visit projects that push and blur the boundaries between what is sanctioned and what is illegal.

Street Art Bike Tour in Mitte & Prenzlauer Berg

We start off in lively Prenzlauer Berg and give you a short introduction to the history of Berlin’s street art scene. We show you some of the different techniques artists use, like stencils, stickers, paste-ups etc. before we go on to explore Mitte, Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg – always looking for the latest artworks, be it graffiti, murals, stencils or sculptures.  

Urban Art Tour in Friedrichshain

Another hotspot for street art in Berlin is the funky East Berlin neighbourhood of Friedrichshain. There are a rich array of artworks to discover here on the graffiti covered walls of the former railway workshop RAW, in murals by street art greats like El Bocho and Cranio around Holzmarkt and of course in the world-famous murals of the East Side Gallery, painted on 1.3 kilometres of original Berlin Wall that still runs along the river Spree. 

Kreuzberg Street Art by Bike

Crossing the Spree you will find some of Berlin’s most famous murals in the multi-cultural neighbourhood of Kreuzberg. Street art is ubiquitous here, with large-scale murals by international artists like BLU, Herakut, Victor Ash and ROA jostling alongside smaller scale but nonetheless exciting bursts of local graffiti and other forms of urban art. 

On this tour we explore even the most surprising corners of this vibrant scene.. Are you interested in the Street Art Bicycle Tour Berlin? – Request private tour

What you will see on our Street Art Bike Tour Berlin?

On this tour we will explore Berlin’s vibrant art scene beyond museums and galleries.. There is no fixed route, as Street Art is ephemeral: the patterns of urban creativity pulse and flow in constantly changing expressions that we follow as they emerge and vanish and emerge into something else altogether. 

Our Berlin Street Art Highlights

  • Wall of Fame in Berlin Mauerpark
  • RAW with Urban Spree gallery in Berlin Friedrichshain
  • East-Side-Gallery and Holzmarkt
  • Street Art hotspot Haus Schwarzenberg in Mitte
  • Stencils, paste-ups & more along Dircksenstraße
  • Urban Art in Wedding along the river Panke
  • Murals in Kreuzberg SO36

Our guides will show you their personal urban art highlights and will surprise you with lots of beautiful Berlin street art pieces.

  • Chevron down Where does the Street Art Bike Tour Berlin start and end?

The Street Art Bike Tour Berlin starts at the Kulturbrauerei (means “Culture Brewery”) in the Prenzlauer Berg district. The brewery grounds have several entrances, the best way to get to us is through the archway at Knaackstraße 97. From the underground station Eberswalder Straße (underground line 2, three stops north of Alexanderplatz) it’s a 200-metre walk.

For private street art tours with your own bikes, the start can be arranged individually. Delivery of our bikes for your private bike tour is also possible for an additional charge – but this is usually only worthwhile for larger groups.

Private tours can be tailored to suit individual needs, including as many breaks as you might wish for as well as detours to particular sites you might be interested in seeing.
