Berlin Christmas Market Bike Tour

Experience Berlin's Christmas Markets by bike!

*Due to covid-19-related market closures, we are unfortunately cancelling all 2020 departures.  We hope to be able to offer this tour again in 2021.*

Ride into the holiday season with our spectacular Christmas Market Bike Tour. This seasonal tour will get you into the festive spirit by leading you to three different Berlin Christmas markets.

With your guide, wander through traditional Berlin style markets filled with stalls selling locally made food, drink, and local artisanal products. You'll learn about the history of these traditional markets and find the best stands to visit. The ticket to the first (and most popular) Christmas market is included in your tour.

Biking is the easiest way to get between the various markets. Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts and decorations in the heart of historic Berlin, surrounded by traditional market stands and glowing Christmas decorations.

You can warm up with a Glühwein (hot spiced wine) or a Feuerzangenbowle (a special mulled wine punch) and try traditional Christmas treats like candied almonds and gingerbread.

The markets are filled with food stands and traditional German foods, so you can stay after the tour and continue eating, drinking, and taking in the sites and sounds. It's the perfect way to immerse yourself in German tradition and get in the holiday spirit!
