Nature Meets History: A Green Bike Tour
Did you know Berlin is one of Europe’s greenest cities? Nearly a third of the capital is covered by parks, forests, and waterways. – Starting at the historic Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg, we’ll pedal through the lively streets of Wedding, into Pankow – a neighbourhood that surprises with idyllic retreats and grand architecture.
On quiet residential streets, we arrive first at Mauerpark, a former part of the Berlin Wall, now a local spot for hanging out and relaxing. From there we continue to Volkspark Humboldthain, where a hill made of World War II rubble offers sweeping views of the city. Along the way, pockets of green emerge between dense urban neighborhoods – parks, community gardens and innovative sustainability projects.
Berlin Beyond the Bustle: Art and Sustainability
Former industrial sites and historical courtyards have become havens for art and culture. Among them are the Gerichtshöfe, Wiesenburg, and a former tram depot on Uferstraße – now home to artists, studios and creative collectives
The Panke River winds through the city, slowly reclaiming some of its natural course after centuries of being straightened, diverted and built over. We follow its path from former West Berlin into the East where we reach the Majakowskiring—a quiet, villa-lined street once home to East Germany’s political elite. Nearby Schönhausen Palace, dating back to the 17th century, has hosted figures like Fidel Castro and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Just a short ride from the stately palace grounds, Bürgerpark Pankow offersa more laid-back vibe with open meadows, a petting zoo and open-air concerts in the rose garden.
Rediscover Berlin: Living and Experiencing Sustainability
We’ll take you on a journey to discover how Berlin is shaping its green future. We’ll dive into exciting topics like sustainable urban development and innovative ways to repurpose spaces, all reflected in our stops:

Public Tours
Our public tours are ideal for solo travellers, couples, or small groups who want to explore Berlin in a relaxed, social setting. You’ll ride together with other Berlin fans – in small groups of 8 to 10 participants on average (max. 13 per guide).
We offer our Green Berlin Bike Tour several times a week from March to November – in English, German, and Dutch. Just show up and start pedalling!Private Tours
Prefer to explore Berlin at your own pace? A private tour is just the thing. Whether it’s with family, friends or colleagues – it’s just you and your personal guide.
The route can be tailored to your wishes: more breaks, different stops, or even a different language? No problem. In addition to English, German, and Dutch, private tours are also available in French, Spanish or Swedish.
It’s best to book in advance – but sometimes we can make it happen at short notice too! -
All Berlin on Bike public bike tours start 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 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.
-
On average our group bike tours consist of between eight and twelve participants. On our regular bike tours, fifteen people per group is our maximum. If there are more registrations, we provide more guides, to ensure that groups remain manageable in size, for the sake of safety and for the enjoyment of our guests.
A minimum of four guests is required for a bike tour to run.
In the case of private bike tours, we recommend that groups do not exceed fifteen guests at a time. Larger groups will be divided up, with more guides allocated to the tour.
