By bicycle from Friedrichshain to Tiergarten

Hop on your bike in the heart of vibrant Friedrichshain, known for its street art, indie cafés, and the iconic RAW-Gelände cultural space. From here, you’ll cruise largely on smooth asphalt and quiet roads, weaving through lively city scenes as you make your way west. The ride is about 9.4 km—long enough to soak up Berlin’s urban atmosphere but short enough for all fitness levels.

You’ll skirt around Alexanderplatz, maybe catch a glimpse of Museum Island, and gradually swap the energetic vibe of the east for the slightly more relaxed, leafy boulevards of Berlin’s illustrious Tiergarten. This green oasis is Berlin’s answer to Central Park—absolutely perfect for a well-deserved picnic or a nap under the trees.

It’s mostly flat riding, with gentle ups and downs, and hardly any rough patches. Keep an eye out for cyclists and trams, and enjoy the mostly traffic-calmed, bike-friendly route. Whether you’re commuting, sightseeing, or just out for a spin, this cross-city stretch showcases the best of Berlin’s character and charm.
