How to join the Berlin hop-on hop-off bus
You can start your tour at any designated stop along the route. Popular starting points include Alexanderplatz, Kurfürstendamm, and the Brandenburg Gate, all of which are major transport hubs.
By Train
Berlin’s S-Bahn (suburban train) and U-Bahn (underground) network is extensive. Major stations like Alexanderplatz, Zoologischer Garten, and Hauptbahnhof are key hop-on hop-off starting points. Look for the colorful double-decker buses parked nearby or at designated stops just outside the station exits.
By Car
Driving in central Berlin usually requires an environmental badge (Umweltplakette), and street parking can be scarce and expensive. If you drive, it's best to use a Park & Ride facility on the outskirts or a parking garage near Alexanderplatz or Potsdamer Platz, then walk to the nearest bus stop.
By Bus
Public buses (start with 'M' for MetroBus or numbers like 100 and 200) crisscross the city and often share stops or stop very close to the sightseeing bus points. If you are already in the city center, you are likely just a few minutes’ walk from a hop-on hop-off stop.
On Foot
Berlin is a walkable city in localized areas. If you are staying in Mitte, near Checkpoint Charlie, or around the Ku'damm shopping street, you can easily walk to a stop. Look for the distinct signage of the sightseeing operators—usually red or yellow markers—indicating where to wait.
