Here’s an overview of your tour

Start your tour at Alexanderplatz and continue along Karl Marx Allee, once the most prestigious residential avenue of East Berlin. Continue to Ostbahnhof which used to be the central train station of East Berlin and bike along the famous East Side Gallery with beautiful street art.

Continue along the former east port Osthafen now turned into Media Spree with its modern and old port architecture and a beautiful view of Oberbaum Bridge and Molecule Man Sculpture in the river Spree.

Interested in discovering a very old peninsula with its 5000-year history and its recent industrial and brewery history? I can show you around an ancient Alt-Stralau that is changing rapidly.

The tour will continue into the Alt-Treptow district and the wonderful Treptower Park where you will be able to admire the impressive Soviet War Memorial. I'll tell you everything about the history and give you local insights about it.

Before crossing the former border back to East again I can point out a place where snipers used to watch and shoot at people who tried to escape from East to West Berlin and where escape tunnels under Berlin Wall were built.

We can stop for a snack and a drink at the famous Markthalle 9 (closed on Sundays) and later discover why a creative Berliner decided to build a tree house right next to the old Berlin wall.

Your tour will end either at Ostbahnhof or Alexanderplatz, depending on time.

If there's anything that you would like to change or add on this tour, please let me know. I can always personalize it 100% just for you.
