1
Your tour begins in Central Berline
Meet your guide at Panoramastraße 1a, pick out your bike, and get a quick intro before heading into central Berlin. It’s an easy warm-up ride that sets the pace for the rest of the day. -
2
Berlin Wall
Pedal straight to one of the last major stretches of the Wall still standing, and it hits you how close East and West once were. Your guide breaks down how it went up, why it fell, and what Berlin still wrestles with today. Standing beside the concrete, you really feel the weight of the Cold War. -
3
Checkpoint Charlie
A short ride brings you to the famous border crossing, once packed with guards, documents, and tension. Your guide shares quick stories about escape attempts and spy drama that unfolded right here. It’s a spot where everyday life and global politics collide. -
4
Hitler’s bunker site
Pause at an unassuming patch of pavement that hides one of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century. Your guide explains the bunker layout, the final days of Nazi Germany, and why Berlin chose not to memorialize the site above ground. -
5
Tiergarten beer garden
Midway through the tour, you glide under tall trees into Tiergarten and roll up to a classic beer garden. It’s relaxed, shady, and perfect for lunch at your own pace. Grab a drink or a bratwurst if you want—this is your breather before heading back into the city. -
6
Victory Column
From the beer garden, you ride deeper into the park until the Victory Column appears between the trees. After climbing the spiral stairs, the view opens up over Berlin’s government quarter and long, straight boulevards. It’s a quick reminder of how spread out the city really is. -
7
Brandenburg Gate
Your final monument comes into view as you coast down Unter den Linden. Passing beneath the gate, you hear how it shifted from royal entrance to Cold War symbol to a backdrop for reunification. It’s a fitting finale to a tour that moves through all of Berlin’s eras. -
8
Your tour finishes back at Panoramastraße 1a
You end where you started, roll your bike back in, and head into the rest of your day with a solid sense of Berlin’s history and layout. Cafés, shops, and river paths are just steps away if you want to keep exploring.
