About this experience

3.5-Hour Guided Bike Tour of Berlin Wall This comprehensive cycling tour traces the route of the Berlin Wall across 15 kilometres, revealing the stories and landmarks that defined Germany's divided capital. Starting from the cultural hub of Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg, you'll cycle through Berlin's historic districts with an expert guide who brings Cold War history to life through compelling narratives and insider knowledge. Your route includes major Berlin Wall sites: Mauerpark's transformed death strip, the Berlin Wall Memorial at Bernauer Straße with its preserved watchtower, the politically charged Checkpoint Charlie, and the Brandenburg Gate.
