Study Tours: Experience Berlin's Urban Development - on Two Wheels

Starting this year, Berlin on Bike is offering a new format for companies, organizations, and anyone interested in sustainable mobility and urban planning: Study Tours by Bike!

In addition to a bike tour visiting key projects, the experience includes an interactive seminar before and after the tour. The first seminar session provides background knowledge, while we discuss and reflect on key takeaways after the tour. Turn inspiration into action for your city’s projects!

Our four themed tours provide exciting insights into the transformation of Germany's capital:

1. Mobility: Intermodaility & bottom-up street transformation

2. 15-Minute City: Superblocks & multifunctional densification

3. The Inclusive City: Gentrification, gender & access for all

4. Climate Resilience: Circularity & blue-green infrastructure

For over 20 years, Berlin on Bike has been offering tailor-made bike tours. Topics such as urban development, transportation planning, and sustainable mobility have become an increasing focus. Our guides bring diverse expertise, including urban planners and architects, who provide practical insights and in-depth knowledge. Our company is also currently undergoing sustainability certification by Visit Berlin in order to make Berlin on Bike even more environmentally friendly and socially responsible.

With more than two decades of experience, we not only know the stories behind Berlin’s neighborhood transformations but also understand the details of its evolving infrastructure, changing business landscapes, and social transitions. These insights make us a unique partner for addressing the challenges and opportunities of urban development.

For us, the bicycle is more than just a means of transportation – it’s a tool to experience urban spaces. Our tours enable participants to gain a direct understanding of Berlin’s projects and urban transformations
