Tour Route

From the Scheunen quarter to Friedrichstraße
Our tour takes us first to the neighborhood around Hackescher Markt through the Scheunenviertel. It was once the center of Jewish life in Berlin. Today, the highlights of the Scheunenviertel include many fashion stores, as well as small cafes and bars that invite you to spend time. Via the Museum Island past the Berlin Cathedral, our tour takes us to the Brandenburg Gate and to the Government Quarter, including the Reichstag, the House of Representatives and the Chancellery.
Experience history live
The next highlight is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, the Holocaust Memorial. Here we take time to stop and then continue on quiet paths to the Gendarmenmarkt. The route also takes us along the former Reichsführer Bunker. The Gendarmenmarkt with the concert hall, as well as the German and French Cathedral is one of the most beautiful old squares in Berlin. Afterwards we reach the "Friedrichsforum", named after the Prussian King, Friedrich II, consisting of the main building of the Humboldt University, the Faculty of Law, St. Hedwig's Cathedral, the Berlin Opera House and the Bebelplatz, where the book burning took place in May 1933. Afterwards we will drive to the "origin" of Berlin, the Nikolaiviertel, where the first church of Berlin, the Nikolaikirche, was built.
In the center of former East Berlin: Alexanderplatz & TV Tower
Our bike tour will take us in the last part to Alexanderplatz, the center of the former East Berlin. Throughout the tour we have already spotted it, the tallest building in the city: the Berlin TV Tower. It has been used for broadcasting radio and television programs since GDR times and gained fame as a landmark of the GDR. The Bar 203 in the TV Tower is located - as the name suggests - at 203 meters of a total height of 368 meters. There you can enjoy the 360-degree view with cocktail creations and snacks.
