Tickets can add up. Let's crunch the numbers.

The "Berlin WelcomeCard" vs HOHO

WelcomeCard: Offers free transport (public) + discounts. Does NOT include HOHO bus usually (unless you buy a specific add-on).
Berlin Pass (Go City): Often INCLUDES the HOHO bus for 1 day.

The "Premium" Bus Ticket

Many bus operators sell a "Premium" or "Explore" ticket that includes:

48h Bus
Walking Tour
River Cruise
Currywurst

The Math

Bus (24h): €30
Cruise: €20
Walking Tour: €15
Total Individual: €65
Bundle Price: Often ~€45-€50.

Conclusion: Always look for the bundles if you plan to do more than just the bus.
