On this bike tour you will get to know a lot of history up close. A great activity for the whole family.
The Tiergarten - pure relaxation in the heart of Berlin
You will be amazed how relaxed and green it is in Berlin. Not for nothing is the Tiergarten called the green lung of Berlin. Here you can meet athletes and walkers, barbecuers and picnickers. With its diverse flora and fauna, green meadows and avenues, cafes and beer gardens, it is a popular destination for Berliners and Berlin visitors.
In addition to a variety of animals and green oases, plenty of history and a multitude of monuments await us in the Tiergarten. From the hunting grounds of the electors to the French and English garden architecture, the destruction after the 2nd World War, the use as a field for food production after the end of the war to the reconstruction as it is today - the Tiergarten has an eventful history.
Bahnhof Zoo and Kurfürstendamm
We leave the Tiergarten and are right in the center of West Berlin. Past the Zoo train station we go to Breitscheidplatz to the Memorial Church. From here we go to Kurfüstendamm , the most famous shopping mile of West Berlin. Of course, a visit to the most famous department store of the city the KaDeWe may not be missing. We have experienced the time before the fall of the wall and take you on a journey back in time. Via the Tiergarten we return to Potsdamer Platz.
