10 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in Berlin That You Shouldn't Miss

December 27, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

We made a boat trip on the Spree with Stefan. He is a super nice, funny and eloquent guide who knows the important buildings very well and weaves many interesting anecdotes into his speech. We enjoyed the trip with him and can recommend him without restrictions. Thanks a lot for the great tour, Stefan!

Easy way to get about Berlin in 2 hrs, especially if it is raining! Top tip to put the attractions in phone sat nav as city driving can be a little hectic, no where near as bad as london though! Owner spoke perfect English and took the time to show you where all the "buttons" were on the car. Engine was running well and you get a few smiles crusing around.

Bicycle rental Berlin You can rent a bike or rent a child trailer at our bike rental - for short commutes in the city or for long bike rides. Rental bike is not the same as a rental bike. We wait and check all bikes ourselves, so you are safe on the road. If you come to Berlin and want to experience the capital on your own with two wheels under your bum, you should not fall back on the first-ever bike rental. Borrowing a safe bike for the big city should be high on the Todo list. Many rental bikes "from the road" are technically deficient and often not safe. If you are traveling without your own bike, we offer you technically perfect bicycles for hire at the bike world - so that your visit to Berlin remains an experience - rent a bike now!

Inclusions: Use of bicycle

What a wonderful dinner cruise through Berlin! Dinner was wonderful and the ambiance of the boat as we travelled the river at night was such a nice experience. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. It is a small boat which makes it nice not having to deal with many people. We highly recommend this tour for a quiet, romantic evening seeing Berlin from the aspect of the river!
