Sightjogging

It is essentially what it sounds like, a combination between sightseeing and jogging!

Tourists, business travelers, natives, experienced runners or the more casual ones can during their stay here in Berlin stay active and see the sights the capitol of Germany has to offer. The participants meet up with your personal guide from a centrally located starting point, or can also be picked up from their respective hotel or hostel. The tour then kicks off, and will take you between the amazing sights that Berlin has to offer.


The sightjogging guide will narrate and take you through the history and the amazing sights that the city has to offer. The pace of the run or walk is entirely up to the participants. It can easily be tailored to whatever requests you have. Pauses for photographs and more in-depth explorations of specific sights can also be added. It’s ultimately not about practicing sports, but a different and fun and healthy way of exploring Berlin.

The tours offered by SWSJ Berlin are about 60 or 90 minutes or 5-7/4.5 or 9-11/6 km/miles long. On request these can course can be personalized.

The popular demand for these kind of tours combining exercise with sightseeing have been increasing for several years and is already established in many cities around Europe and in the United States, where it all started. In New York city, Washington DC, Chicago, Rome, Budapest, and also here in Germany, in Hamburg, Mainz and Freiburg. All these places now offer great Sightjogging tours.

Sightjogging is not exclusively for people traveling through Berlin, but also for folks living here. It’s a different way of exploring and getting to know the city that you call home!

"Only where you have been on foot, you have really been." (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In his time, Goethe was a traveler. He searched for and found new ways to describe and different perspectives on nature and landscapes.


He experienced the world in a bold and new way, becoming a master of travel. He was able to observe and take in the essence of the things he experienced, if it was an entire region, a city a building or a sole painting. Following the spirit of Goethe, we aim to make this tour a deep and rewarding experience!
