A rickshaw glides through Berlin with the Spree breathing at its edges and plane trees shading the wide boulevards. You sit low and forward, the city unfolding at pedestrian pace—sandstone columns of the Brandenburg Gate, the glass dome of the Reichstag catching sunlight, and street art tracing the Wall’s old scar. The rickshaw moves where cars slow and walkers hurry.
