We will join the local Berlin skate community for their Friday Night Skate. We will announce more details closer to the time. This is optional and only for those with street skate experience.

Saturday 23rd May

 We will meet at Alexanderplatz (in shoes) and then take the train 35 minutes to Fleaming Skate.

This is one of Asha’s favourite Trip days anywhere in the world.

Sunday we skate all over Berlin! Different neighbourhoods and important sites including the Berlin Wall, the Holocaust Memorial, Brandenberg Gate, several parks and riverside tracks, plus more modern parts of the city.
