Most popular places in Berlin – Berlin City Sightseeing by bike

First your guide will show you the former heart of Jewish Berlin where Jewish families started settling in the 17th century. After that, it’s off to the historical city centre, where Museum Island, Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag are just a few of the famous sights you will experience first hand. You’ll encounter remnants of Prussia’s glory, and traces left behind by the 40 years when the Cold War divided the city of Berlin, like Berlin’s iconic TV tower at Alexanderplatz. 

Take a Sightseeing Tour through the Vibrant New City Centre

You will also see the rapidly changing contemporary landscape of the city, all constructed in the 30 years of reunited Germany. This includes the breathtaking architecture of the new government district but also the Holocaust Memorial and the reconstructed city palace, both places which pose questions about how Germany is dealing with its past.

Berlin Highlights Bike Tour FAQs

Is the Berlin Highlights Bike Tour right for me?

This tour is your introduction to Berlin. – Whether it’s your first visit or you’ve been here before, you’ll see the city’s most important landmarks while discovering the history and stories behind them. If you’re curious about what makes Berlin tick, you’re in the right place. 

Do I need to be fit to join the Berlin Highlights Bike Tour?

No. Berlin is mostly flat, we ride at a relaxed pace and make regular stops for stories, photos and questions.

During the 3.5-hour tour, you’ll cycle around 12 to 15 km (7.5 to 9 miles). If you’d rather take it even easier, you can book an e-bike.

Children aged 10 and over can comfortably join the tour too.

Where does the Berlin Highlights Bike Tour start and end?

The tour starts and finishes at our meeting point in the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg. – Built as a brewery in the 19th century, the site is now one of Berlin’s best-known cultural venues, so your tour starts with a bit of history before you even get on your bike.

The easiest entrance is at Knaackstraße 97, about a three-minute walk from Eberswalder Straße U-Bahn station.

What’s the difference between the Berlin Highlights Bike Tour and a walking tour?

Berlin is huge, so a walking tour can only cover a small part of the city. – By bike, you can see the main sights of central Berlin in just 3.5 hours. Walking the same route would easily take a full day, and you’d probably need to use public transport several times.

Cycling lets you see more of Berlin while staying close to the city. No bus windows, no rushing through underground stations. Just Berlin around you. That’s how many Berliners get around every day.

Should I book a public or a private Berlin Highlights Bike Tour?

Both are great options. It simply depends on the experience you’re looking for.

Public tours

Our public tours are ideal for solo travellers, couples and small groups who enjoy meeting other travellers. Groups average 8 to 10 guests, with a maximum of 13 people per guide. We recommend booking in advance, but last-minute bookings are often possible if spaces are available. 

Private tours

Prefer to explore Berlin with your own group? A private tour gives you your own guide and a route tailored to your interests. Whether you’re travelling with family, friends or colleagues, you set the pace. Spend more time at the places that interest you, skip the ones you’ve already seen and take breaks whenever you like. Booking ahead is recommended, but if you’re planning at short notice, just get in touch. We can often make it work.

How do I book tickets for the Berlin Highlights Bike Tour?

You can book your tickets directly on this website.

Choose your preferred date in the booking calendar, enter your details and complete your payment. You’ll receive a confirmation email straight away with everything you need for your tour.

If you’re making last-minute plans, you can book online up to 60 minutes before the tour starts, as long as places are still available. – Need something even more last minute? Just give us a call on +49 30 4373 9999.

Will I get insider tips during the Berlin Highlights Bike Tour?

Definitely! Our guides live in Berlin and know the city well. They keep up with new restaurants, neighbourhoods, exhibitions and places that locals actually recommend.

Along the way, you’ll get plenty of personal tips for the rest of your stay, from good places to eat to bars, museums and local favourites that don’t always make it into the guidebooks.

Do you always follow the same route on your Highlights Sightseeing Bike Tour?

The tour follows a general route that takes us from Prenzlauer Berg through the historic centre, past Museum Island, the Brandenburg Gate and other key landmarks before returning to our starting point. 

That said, our guides have plenty of flexibility. They adjust the route depending on the group, the weather and what’s happening in the city. A good question can even lead to a spontaneous detour or an extra stop along the way.
