The Most Beautiful Bike Routes In Berlin

In the summertime, when Berlin’s many green spaces come to life and the bike lanes are no longer treacherous with ice, it’s time to get cruising. Here are five of the most beautiful bike routes in Berlin.

1. Tempelhofer Feld

Building, Park, Historical Landmark

One of the most expansive outdoor spaces in Berlin, this decommissioned airport has 386 hectares of open space. Tempelhof is certainly spacious enough for a solid bike ride as there are even designated cycling paths of about 6 km in length. For a truly unique cycling experience, supplement your time spent on the bike path with a bit of fun riding along the old air lanes. After working up a sweat, crack open some cold ones and gather with friends in the enormous designated picnic area. An entire day could easily be spent exploring this famous part of the city.

2. Treptower Park

Treptower Park

With a path running along the park’s northeastern promenade along the river Spree, Treptower Park is a favorite cycling destination of many. Beyond this straightforward path, Treptower contains many winding trails just waiting to be discovered. With enough exploration down these shaded paths, it is possible to end up at one of the area’s most iconic landmarks: the Soviet War Memorial, which commemorates the fallen soldiers of the Red Army. Better than touring this vast anti-fascist memorial on foot, gliding through it by bike lends a truly unique perspective.

Along the Landwehrkanal in Kreuzberg

For those looking for the bike experience of the true Berliner, try riding along the Landwehrkanal in Kreuzberg. We suggest fueling up for this utterly picturesque ride with a meal at one of the restaurants on Paul-Lincke-Ufer. Alternatively, a quick bite can be had across the way on Maybachufer. Once that’s taken care of, simply follow the canal eastward. Turn left at the end of Maybachufer and head straight for the lively Gorlitzer Park area for some vibrant nightlife at one of the many bars in the area, including Club der Visionaere. This route also leads up to the river Spree where the riding could easily continue.

5. Berlin Mitte Bike Tour

Berlin Mitte Bike Tour

Berlin is quite notoriously spread out, so those who are looking to see the most of the city will fare best in touring it by bike. Plus, bike tours are typically a bit more fun and memorable than those by foot. While many city tours are offered by bike, we recommend the Berlin Mitte bike tour for a good overview of the city’s most important historical cites. These tours typical cost around €25 with plenty of discounts available, and they cover important landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate, the Holocaust Memorial, the TV Tower, and much more.
