There are lots of things to find out about Berlin! You might not believe it, but Berlin is a city by the waterside and has actually more bridges than Venice?

Bike Around Berlin!

One of the trendiest ways to get around Berlin is by bike! Berlin is a very biker-friendly city and most hostels in Berlin have a rent-a-bike service. Don't worry about traffic: even in the city center, you will find a quiet biking lane, and you can take your bike (if it rains or if you get tired) both on the S-Bahn and U-bahn with an extra ticket. You can bike anywhere, for example, to the nice green area, Wannsee, which also has a nice lakeside beach!

When you´re tired, take a break in one of the beer gardens of Berlin, such as Florians Garten. Located off the beaten tracks, this place does not exactly look like a “beer garden” at first glance, but wait and see, this abandoned green area by the railroad tracks, is stylish! Enjoy here the view off the Potstamer Platz skyline!
