More fun. “Willkommen in Berlin!” Explore Berlin by bike Regardless if this is your first trip to Berlin or if you already feel like “ein Berliner,” our bike tours are great ways to see the city and understand what makes Berlin so special. Here are just some of the many reasons why: Fat Tire Bike Tours has been seen in, among others: TimeOut, Lonely Planet, Rick Steves’, Fodor’s, Condé Nast, Wanderlust, Discovery Channel, CBS News, and many more. “The best way to… take in some sightseeing is to rent a bike and explore alone or with a bike group. Fat Tire Bike Tours is the best place to rent bikes and meet other cyclists looking to pedal around the city.“ Berlin is almost 9 times the size of Paris yet very flat and bike-friendly. Our tours take advantage of this. We prefer bike paths, parks, and less-traveled roads. We stop every few hundred meters to discuss the sights and take photos, so our tours aren’t the least bit strenuous. Why punish your feet walking? Our expert guides provide fascinating anecdotes to deliver relevant information you’ll absorb and take with you. Families welcome! Kids’ bikes, trailers and seats available. Have fun, even if it rains! Rain gear and gloves provided. We make sure to divide up large groups for the highest standard of personal service. We have expert guides and a wide selection of new bikes. What’s more, if at the end of the tour you’re not completely convinced our tours – and level of service – are the best ways to experience Berlin, the tour’s on us! That’s our guarantee to you and it’s why you pay after the tour. Ride with the best! Ride safely on bike paths and less-traveled roads. Enjoy local culture in a beautiful beer garden in the park. We are proud to be ranked consistently as a top activity by tripadvisor, with more than 1500 5-Star Reviews. 4 | FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS | 5 Why Fat Tire Bike Tours?

Marx & Engels Platz: monuments still standing of communism’s founders in the former East Berlin Wall: Stop at the Berlin Wall, wander through Checkpoint Charlie, and stand in the deathstrip under a watchtower. Understand why the Berlin Wall was built, what led to its fall and how Berlin is dealing with its past. Third Reich: Stand on top of Hitler’s bunker and where years earlier the Nazis had their famous book-burning. See the Reichstag and grasp how its fateful burning led to Hitler’s rise to power. Beer garden and Spree River: We cross through the massive Tiergarten Park for a lovely ride to a delightful beer garden. This is a great place to grab a drink, a bite to eat, and to plug your guide for more inside tips and pointers. Prussian Berlin: We’ll understand how the mighty Prussians molded Berlin into a European power. Ride through the Brandenburg Gate like many previous armies, over the Museum Island, along Unter den Linden, across the Gendarmenmarkt and much more.

We visit the former Jewish quarter, location of Nazi bunkers, an air raid shelter, anti-aircraft installations, war-damaged buildings, Nazi resistance monuments, WWII battlefields, and more. Hitler’s rise: Understand the circumstances that allowed a maniac like Hitler to achieve power. Victims of the Nazis: Learn not only about the grim fate of so many persecuted by the Nazis, but also the hardships that beset ordinary citizens. Resistance movements: Gain insight on resistance movements against the Third Reich and assassination attempts on Hitler at the July 20th 1944 Memorial. 5 hours | 14 km We head away from the Mitte district and the pedestrian Cold War sights to take in more of the former East, more of the Wall, and more of what makes Berlin the unique city it is today. Architecture: We head east along the imposing Karl-Marx-Allee before exploring the East Side Gallery, the famous Berlin Wall section covered with graffiti. We visit the powerful Treptower Park Memorial and wind through the former death strip to see former checkpoints and hear tales of espionage and escape attempts. Total Context of the Cold War: We’ll timeline other important worldwide events to show how these effectively put Berlin at the forefront of Cold War tension. Legacy of the war: Draw the connection from the end of World War I to Hitler’s rise, and consequently his fall to the building of the Berlin Wall. East vs. West: By showing counterculture in the former West, blatant propaganda in the former East, and subtle symbolism in today’s urban landscape, this tour shows a completely different side of Berlin. Nazi Germany / 3rd Reich Topic Tour Highlights: Berlin Wall & Cold War Topic Tour Highlights: Seeing where Jewish businesses were destroyed during the infamous Night of Broken Glass, as well as the monumental New Synagogue that survived that fateful night. Exploring the destroyed remnants of Berlin’s old train station – from which Jews were deported to concentration camps – now standing as both grim reminders of Holocaust atrocities and the damages of war. Visiting one of the few remaining air raid shelters, which was topped with anti-aircraft guns and filled far beyond capacity during the Battle of Berlin. COLD WAR Visiting the imposing Treptower Park Soviet Cenotaph. This is sure to be one of the most impressive sights on your European vacation. Some 5000 fallen Soviet troops are buried here and the reliefs lining the memorial are the finest of Stalinist propaganda. It’s off the beaten tourist path – yet quite accessible by bike – and not to be missed. Retracing more than 5km of where the Wall stood to understand differences still existing in former East and West Berlin. Hearing numerous anecdotes of escape attempts and techniques, many on-site where they actually took place. 10 | FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS | 11 RAW tOUR: BERLIN ExPOSED The eccentric and uncensored sides of Berlin 5 hours | RAW BERLIN Palaces & Gardens of Potsdam A fantastic day trip rivaling Versailles and Neuschwanstein 16 km Contemporary Berlin has a reputation as a vibrant bastion of counterculture, progressive thought, and creative spirit. It’s teeming with “stay-cationers,” street art, and non-conformists, while juggling with gentrification, integration, and even a high-tech boom. Colliding ambitions: For some, bare post-Cold War areas mean appealing public spaces, while for others this land represents unique investment opportunities. See thriving squats and where this endangered lifestyle is transforming. Urban renewal: The former Tempelhof Airport and reclaimed noman’s-land exemplify Berlin’s continuous development that few other cities can rival. “Multi-kulti”: Multiculturalism’s benefits come with integration struggles. We delve deep into Kreuzberg to focus on Germany’s historical guest worker programs and their impact on current politics and social dynamics. Raw Tour: Berlin Exposed Topic Tour Highlights: Seeing how Berlin is a canvas for street art and graffiti. We’ll point out some iconic examples, discuss the artists and their motivations, and show you what to watch for. Riding through Tempelhof Field, once used in West Berlin’s lifesustaining airlift, and now the city’s coolest park with everything from city gardening to kite skating. Don’t miss biking the old runways! Seeing local hotspots tucked away from the main tourist trail. Many people come to Berlin for a visit- this tour will show you why we are here to stay! 6,5 hours | 16 km Potsdam is Berlin’s most popular day-trip destination and for good reason.

Palaces & Gardens of Potsdam Topic Tour Highlights: Appreciating the power, lifestyle, and grandeur of the Hohenzollern legacy through their various lavish gardens, parks, and palaces. Understanding the impact the Potsdam Agreement at Cecilienhof had on Europe to close out World War II, foreshadowing an era of tension and distrust in the ensuing Cold War. Explore the interior! Realizing that with its 20+ palaces, numerous parks and gardens, unique WWII and Cold War role in history, and distinct present-day flair, Potsdam is far more than the “Versailles of Berlin”, but rather deserving of its UNESCO World Heritage status in many ways. 12 | FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS | 13 E-BIKE CITY DAY TOUR E-Bike Evening Tour Cruise on E-Bikes to go further and see even more 6 hours | A fun way to see and taste our favorite neighborhoods 20 km This is our All-in-One City Tour, plus more!

Don’t forget to validate them in the little yellow or red boxes near the ticket vending machines. 6 24 | FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS helpful hints and advice If you need more help, drop by our shops! FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS | 25 helpful hints and advice For more tips see our website. Where can I get souvenirs and memorabilia? If it’s cheesy, often fake Russian and GDR memorabilia you are after, head for Checkpoint Charlie. Have fun negotiating! You can find higher quality woodcrafts, figurines, beer steins and more in the shops along Unter den Linden and in the Nikolaiviertel. And not to overlook, we have great postcards and our classy Fat Tire shirts right in our Alexanderplatz shop! Where can I surf the Internet and stay socially connected? We have you covered. Just jump on our free WiFi at our shop, or use one of our computers – it’s free! How do I use the phone here? First of all, coin-operated phones are rare, so pick up a phone card from a myriad of media stores or kiosks. Berlin’s area code is 030, so dial that before the number when calling from within Germany. So, calling us from Germany is 030 2404 7991. If calling from abroad, drop the first 0 and replace with Germany’s code 49. For example, calling us from London is 00 49 30 2404 7991. Just pop in 2404 7991 if you are just down the street. Where can I change money? Alexanderplatz, like many other main stations, have currency exchanges. Just look for the sign “Wechselstube.” What about some good eats, drinks, and nightlife? Always a great evening activity, and a great way to sample food at some terrific local spots, is our Evening E-Bike Tour (page 13). If you want to hit the town on your own, find delicious burritos and quesadillas at Dolores 8 , mouthwatering burgers at The Bird 7 , great favorite tastes and events at the Hard Rock Cafe 4 , and tasty German Spätzle at Repke 3 .

Great places to start are around the Eberswalder U-bahn, the Simon-DachStrasse in Friedrichshain, or by heading out on the Pub Crawl with our friends at Insider Tours. What about a movie in English? Movies listed as “OV” are in the original language. Cinestar 2 in Potsdamer Platz is a great option with 8 screens, stadium seating, and you can enjoy a beer while watching the movie! What’s the norm on tipping? Tipping is always appreciated. Most patrons will round up about 5% – 10%. So if your total is 27.10, you may want to tell your server 27.50 or 28.00 when he or she comes to the table for payment. What about visiting Potsdam? Potsdam is one of the best day trip options from Berlin – Check out our Palaces and Gardens of Potsdam Tour (page 11) – it’s a great way to see the best of Potsdam, like Sanssouci Palace, the Dutch Quarter, and Cecilienhof. On bikes and with our fantastic Englishspeaking guides, you will see all the best sites. If you would like to see the sites on your own, the RE 1 train (quick) or S7 (more frequent) travel from Alexanderplatz to Potsdam. Potsdam is great for bikes – just rent with us at either of our Berlin locations and you can take the bike with you, just remember to pick up a bike ticket! What about heading to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial? Built in 1936, visiting this camp is a moving experience and just outside of Berlin.

Well, not really, but at least back when the Wall fell they were. Hasselhoff played to a crowd of a million strong at what was left of the Berlin Wall at the Brandenburg Gate on New Year’s Eve in 1989. His “hit” song, “Looking for Freedom,” was at the top of the West German charts when the Wall fell, prompting Hasselhoff to say in an interview, “I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Checkpoint Charlie.” 26 | FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS BERLIN FACTS & FIGURES Ask our guides for more statistics and anecdotes FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS | 27 BERLIN FACTS & FIGURES Ask our guides for more statistics and anecdotes Here are some interesting facts and figures about Berlin.

The capital of Germany again as of 1999, Berlin is Germany’s largest city with about 3.4 million inhabitants. Berlin covers 891 km2 (about 556 mi2), making it: More than 8 times the size of Paris Still only about 1/2 the size of Sydney or London The municipal area has more trees than Paris, more bridges than Venice, 3 opera houses, 2 zoos, 150 concert halls and theaters and 170+ museums and exhibitions. Until recently there was more construction in Berlin than in any other European city and it trailed only Shanghai and Dubai worldwide. Berlin’s debt level is around 2 67 billion, or more than 2 19,000 per Berlin inhabitant. Elections in 2001 put the Social Democrats in power and made Klaus Wowereit, Germany’s first openly gay leading politician, mayor. He famously called Berlin ‘Poor, but sexy’. DID YOU KNOW? As flaunted in the tabloids, it was over a 5th floor balcony railing from the Hotel Adlon (in Pariser Platz, and seen on the City Tour) where Michael Jackson dangled his baby to the hysterical crowd. Berlin residents must pay annual taxes of 2 150 to own a dog and 2 25 to own a hamster. Kaufhaus Des Westens (KaDeWe) is Europe’s largest department store. The Berlin Thunder American football team won the World Bowl in 2001, 02 and 04, but the league was disbanded after 2007.

Berlin Prior to the 20th Century The Hohenzollern dynasty ruled Prussia — with Berlin as its capital — for about 500 years (1414 - 1919). Berlin lost more than a third of its population during the Thirty Year’s War (1618 - 1648). When Berlin became the capital of unified Germany in 1871, the population boomed and by 1880 the average number of inhabitants per building lot rose to 60. Averages in Paris were only 20 and in London only 8. DID YOU KNOW? In November 1923 the hyperinflation after WWI peaked with 1 US$ = 4.2 trillion marks (US$ 1 = 4,200,000,000,000 marks). Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I (1713 - 1740) had a fetish for tall men and a personal army of giant troops. He also spent 80% of tax revenue building the mighty Prussian army, which his son, Friedrich the Great, used extensively. Friedrich II banned imported coffee to boost sales of the local alternative: beer. In 1871, after the unification of Germany, Berlin was the center of the largest military parade of its history and a special “Commemoration Beer” was served. Although exactly the same as the regular brew, restaurants charged a few pennies more because of its historical significance. 28 | FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS FAT TIRE BIKE TOURS | 29 Museums & Galleries Berlin offers something for every taste Berlin offers something for every taste Berlin has more than 170 fantastic museums, galleries and exhibitions and it would take an entire brochure to cover all of them.
