Paseo rápido en bici de Neu-Hohenschönhausen a Mitte

This cycling route takes you from Neu-Hohenschönhausen, a residential district in Berlin’s northeast known for its modern Plattenbau (prefab concrete buildings) and leafy parks, right into the heart of Berlin: Mitte.

The ride is a little over 12 km and mostly flat, so it’s easy on the legs, with just a bit more downhill than up. You’ll spend most of your time (about 61%) cruising along quiet roads—perfect if you like a relaxed pace. Nearly a quarter of the route follows dedicated cycleways, so you can enjoy stress-free stretches. Although you’ll encounter a few busy roads, they’re short parts of the trip.

The surfaces are overwhelmingly smooth: mainly asphalt and concrete, making for a comfortable roll. As you approach Mitte, Berlin’s bustling, historic core, you’ll notice the scenery shifting from tranquil neighborhoods to vibrant city life, with landmarks like the TV Tower, Museum Island, and the iconic Brandenburg Gate not far away. It’s a great way to see how Berlin transitions from residential calm to urban energy!
