Quick ride by bicycle from Tiergarten to Friedrichshain

This relaxed ride takes you from Berlin’s green heart, the iconic Tiergarten, all the way east to vibrant Friedrichshain. Starting in Tiergarten, you’ll cruise through leafy surroundings—keep an eye out for Berlin landmarks like the Siegessäule and maybe some cheeky squirrels! The route covers just over 8 km and sticks mostly to smooth, paved surfaces, so it’s great for all types of bikes.

You’ll mostly follow quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, which makes the ride pleasant and stress-free. After leaving the park, you’ll weave past the city’s pulse, over the Spree, and gradually into Friedrichshain’s creative, urban energy. Expect a gentle mix of scenery: grand government buildings, sprawling parks, and a few cobbled stretches to keep it interesting.

Friedrichshain itself is a lively district famous for street art, bustling cafes, and the East Side Gallery—a stretch of the Berlin Wall covered in murals. So whether you’re riding for the sights, the coffee, or just a smooth city cruise, this route offers a great snapshot of Berlin’s character.
