Explore Berlin’s Living History by Bike

Join a 3.5-hour guided cycling journey tracing the route of the Berlin Wall and bring the city’s divided past to life. Your exploration begins at the unique Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg, where you'll meet your expert guide and receive your bike and helmet. As you cycle through the streets and historic parks for about 15 kilometers, you’ll uncover the landscapes and stories that shaped Berlin’s modern legacy.

Discover Key Berlin Wall Landmarks

The tour’s path takes you to the Mauerpark, noted for its transformed section of the former death strip. Ride on to the Berlin Wall Memorial at Bernauer Straße, the most significant surviving segment of the wall. Here, witness the original watchtower and preserved wall as your guide recounts the gripping history of East-West separation and the thousands of daring attempts to escape across the border.

A Walk Through the Cold War Era

Encounter sites like Checkpoint Charlie, a symbol of tension and intrigue between East and West Berlin. Your guide’s expert commentary weaves together tales of the Stasi, the secret police, the day-to-day realities for citizens under the GDR (German Democratic Republic) and the spirit of resistance that contributed to the wall’s eventual fall.

Gain a fresh perspective on Berlin’s historic government buildings, see the imposing Brandenburg Gate and experience how these sites have evolved since reunification.

Unique Insights into East German Life

More than just observing historic remains, this experience offers a human connection to the stories of division, resilience and reconciliation. Hear about the opposition movements that flourished despite surveillance and oppression and learn how life along the wall shaped a generation.
