Take a bicycle tour through wild, unconventional Berlin and discover what former mayor Klaus Wowereit meant when he famously said, “Berlin is poor but sexy!” Your adventure begins in the central Nikolaiviertel, just a five-minute walk from the TV Tower. Start where Berlin’s story began, then set off on a relaxed ride through the city’s most vibrant districts — Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Neukölln, and Treptow — to experience authentic Berlin life up close. On this 15-kilometer journey, you’ll explore creative projects, restored buildings, and hidden corners as you ride along quiet side streets and scenic bike paths. Along the way, dive into the fascinating contrasts of Berlin’s urban culture — from squatted housing projects and buzzing nightlife to gentrification and social change. Discover how the city reinvented itself after the fall of the Wall, revealing both its polished and wonderfully gritty sides. With small groups of up to 15 people, a relaxed pace, and a friendly atmosphere, this tour offers an unforgettable and authentic Berlin experience. The Free-Berlin Concept: Each guide designs their own route — ensuring every tour is unique, spontaneous, and refreshingly real. Routes may vary
