ESSENTIAL BIKE TOUR SEASON 2009 ENDS 8TH NOVEMBER 2009!

Berlin is beautiful, flat, and ideal for biking. You can cover a lot on two wheels. Bike around Berlin with our energetic guides who are ready to show you everything this city has to offer. Join us on an entertaining and engrossing tour of both historical and modern Berlin. On this 2 hour bike tour we cover ALL the main sites, such as:

• The Brandenburg Gate
• The Reichstag
  
• The Holocaust Memorial
• Museum Island
• SS Headquarters
• Gendarmenmarkt
• Above the site of Hitler's (former) Bunker
• Checkpoint Charlie

               ...and much more!

In addition to the main sites, we make sure our tour stands out as one of the highlights of your trip, by giving you something special:

• Ride through the brand new heart of 21st Century Berlin
• Visit the New Jewish Synagogue and the old Jewish quarter
• See buildings still scarred by WWII
• Learn about the Berlin Wall, border towers, and crossing points 

The New Berlin Essential Bike Tour meets at the famous Postfuhramt building on Oranienburger Straße in the hip Mitte District. Every tour begins with a visit inside this incredible building which was once Berlin's 19th Century Central Post Office: we even store our brand new city bikes in the renovated horse stalls, which were formerly used for housing the stallions used for the German Pony Express! We help set you up on your own Drahtesel - the Berliner nickname for bicycle, literally meaning 'wire donkey'. After making sure that your extra-comfortable, shock-absorbing seat is the right height for a perfect ride, you'll have a little refresher time to get familiar with your new wheels in our historic courtyard. For those feeling a little unsure of being back on a bike, don't worry! After our patented Smart-Ride safety tips, you'll be cruising confidently with the best of them!

If you want to rent a bike beforehand, and come ready to ride, you're welcome to. Refer to the maps on www.newberlinmagazine.com to find a bike shop near you.
