Berlin Christmas bike tour
Bikers in Christmas costumes ride through Berlin on 13 December 2025 for a good cause
When Berlin's streets are transformed into a rolling Christmas wonderland on the third Saturday in Advent, it's time again for the Berlin Christmas Bike Tour. What began as a project of the heart is now one of the capital's most impressive charity events at Christmas time. From Lankwitz town hall to the Charlottenburg Christmas market, disguised riders whizz through Berlin on festively decorated motorbikes for a good cause.
Christmas convoy with a heart: the 28th Berlin Christmas Bike Tour
On 13 December 2025, Santas, angels and reindeer on two wheels will gather at Lankwitz Town Hall to ride through the city on their lovingly decorated bikes. Their mission: to show people in need in Berlin that they are not forgotten - and to deliver gifts and donations.
The tour will make several stops, including the Berliner Herz children's hospice (Karl-Marx-Allee 66, Friedrichshain) and the Berlin City Mission (Lehrter Straße 68, Moabit). They will be accompanied by two vans full of presents to fulfil wish lists from the two institutions. Finally, the Christmas Bikers will make a stop at the romantic Christmas market at Charlottenburg Palace, where they will draw attention to their social cause with a speech.
