Get a feeling for the city’s famous image by exploring the hip districts Kreuzberg & Friedrichshain. We’ll show you how the former borderland got converted in many ways, how alternative subculture clashes big business, how Turkish Berliners meet young creatives, squatters & party people. A great combination of panoramic paths along the waterfront, Eastside Gallery & through colourful neighboorhoods!

The Free-Berlin-concept: The guide can design his tour freely. Route plan may differ.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. {
On this alternative tour, the first stop is probably the last stop of a established world. From here on out the stops are authentic and closer to the reality of living in a big city.
2. {
Not only one of Berlin's most famous districts, Kreuzberg is a melting pot par excellence with lots of stories to tell.
3.
An unexpected place of peace between pre-fab-buildings, old style buildings and modern architecture. A perfect place to gain some understanding into the district and it's diversity.
4.
The Treehouse by the Wall: This is the story of a guest worker coming over and adapting to the Kreuzberg mentality in a second. Getting a gardenhouse with boldness right by the wall and marking their territory with the berlin guerilla mentality.
5. {
In a place where multiple squaddings led to a remarkable place for artists. Not only during the start of the scene, in the peak in the 1980s but also in early 2000s. All that effort led to the building becoming a room for artists of all kind.
6. {
The YAAM is an incredible club, but the view from here might be even more fascinating. From here you see the TV-Tower, the Holzmarkt, the Oberbaumbridge and the river Spree - it takes a minute to take that beauty in.
7. {
The longest remaining part of the Berlin Wall, filled with spectacular art and right within a completely new-designed business-quarter.
8. {
The district's landmark stands for crossing borders in any meaning.
9.
Once restricted borderland, today the spot for the young urban creatives. From here it's easy to understand the GDR's obsession with the Wall, borderland and heavy restriction regarding freedom. The river Spree invites everyone to take a small break with a beautiful few.
10.
This very unique sculpture obviously led to multiple interpretations of which the official one is probably the one with the least sense to it.
11.
The area here is sort of like a playing ground for adults with a concert hall, a swimming bar and an outdoor bath.
12.
A former Wall watchtower turned art galary stand tall in one of Berlin's many parks.
13.
Another perfect stop to understand Kreuzberg's diversity of buildings, people and history. The perfect example of big city life but yet escapism. This street really has it all.
14. {
A former trainstation of Berlin's extensive railway system transformed into a park, symbolizing the thin line between alternative life and anarchy.
15.
Completly inconspicuous is the peak of capitalism in the heart of the melting pot. Surrounded by authentic Berliners, anarchists and political activism is the car loft. A building, where you can take your car up to your balcony.
16. {
Dolce Vita at the waterfront incl. Turkish market on Tuesday's and Friday's.
17.
A short break from the hustle of the big city in an authentic and bohemian neighborhood, just living the good life, playing some boule.
18.
Is Kreuzberg really the home of anarchists, slobs and survival artists? It is much more and also the complete opposite to offer.
19. {
You can either start your night in a bar or in the light of a beautiful summer sunset right here with hundreds of strangers. Come as you are.
20.
As contrast to the previous Dolce Vita stops, the "Kotti" stand out with it's brutal 1970s architecture, the vibrant drugscene an heavy traffic.

Bjorn provided some really interesting and thoughtful insights into the alternative culture that makes Berlin such a fascinating experience. The tour was well-planned with many really enjoyable highlights especially in Kreusberg which we have subsequently revisited. Highly recommended!

The guide was positive and lively. Good tour with both interesting history and a good view of the alternative culture Kreutzberg has to offer.

Super fun and informative. We rode all around 2 different neighborhoods and got to see where everyday people to to parks, dance, get ice cream, and hang out for drinks. Our guide, Fiona, did a wonderful job of explaining how different neighborhoods developed in relation to the wall (before and after).
We did this our third day in Berlin, but it would be useful on the first or second day.
There were 10 people in our group and the riding was fairly easy. I highly recommend!

Our tour guide David gave us an indescribably good tour with a lot of specialist knowledge about Berlin as well as wit and humor! We had expected a high standard from Free Berlin and the tour guide from other bike tours in Europe and David exceeded this. However, we lose one point for the bikes. The 3-speed gears and coaster brake were not particularly pleasant to ride. Nevertheless, it was a great day!

Extremely interesting bike tour through Kreuzberg. Definitely plan it at the beginning of a trip through Berlin, as you can gather a lot of inspiration. We can highly recommend the tour and will definitely book more tours.
The bikes were in great shape too!
