There are many ways to explore a city, and on the back of a bicycle is certainly one of them. Letting the wind blow through your hair while you take in the streets and sights is not only fun and whimsical, it’s a way to keep fit, too. Here are three cities worth seeing on two wheels.
Berlin, Germany
Historical landmarks? Check. Vibrant culture? Check. An extensive network of bike lanes? Check, check, check. Thanks to a comprehensive bicycle-sharing system, can cycle past the Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, and Checkpoint Charlie; explore the trendy neighborhoods of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain; and taste all the city has to offer.
Tel Aviv, Israel
As a coastal city, Tel Aviv offers both scenic routes and inner-city cosmopolitanism. Dozens of cafes and restaurants line the street, while the serene boulevards and lively promenade are all equipped for bicycles to glide through. Don’t miss out on pedalling to the ancient port city of Jaffa.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
This list would not be complete without including Amsterdam! Know as the cycling city thanks to its flat landscape, pedalling is the perfect way to see the famous canals; visit world-class museums; and enjoy the beloved tulips.
