When in Berlin, do as the Berliners do. As one of the most cutting-edge cities in Germany, you’re spoilt for choice on must do Berlin experiences, so add these on to the to-do list for your next tour in Germany…
#1- Cycle in Berlin
Berliners love to cycle, and having access to over 620 km’s of bike paths sure helps to fuel that passion (plus the fact that the terrain is relatively flat). Cycling is one of the best ways to explore a new city and one of the essential Berlin experiences, so take the lead from the locals and explore the many streets and parks on two wheels. On your travels, learn about the East and West side of Berlin and make your way through Tiergarten (one the world’s biggest parks).
