Gita in bici di un giorno da Friedrichsfelde a Westend

Ready to see Berlin from east to west? This cycling route starts in Friedrichsfelde, known for its spacious Tierpark—the largest zoo landscape in Europe—and heads across the city to Westend, a leafy district near Olympiastadion and Schloss Charlottenburg.

The ride covers about 23.5 km, mostly on paved surfaces (expect lots of smooth asphalt and some stretches of classic Berlin paving stones). The route sticks to cycleways and quiet roads, so you’ll mostly avoid the city’s busiest traffic. Along the way, you’ll roll through diverse neighborhoods, from lively Lichtenberg to the stately old villas of Charlottenburg.

The ascent is gentle, with less than 80 meters of climbing; Berlin is famously flat, so expect an effortless cruise with only a few gentle rises. The scenery transitions from urban high-rises to tree-lined avenues as you reach Westend, famous for its green parks and grand historical buildings.

Perfect for a city explorer or weekend bike tour, this route lets you soak up Berlin’s contrasts at your own pace, ending on the calmer, western side of the capital.
