Bringing the little ones to Berlin? The HOHO bus can be a lifesaver for tired legs.

Why it works for parents

Containment: Kids are safe in their seats while seeing the city.
Rest: Great for a nap in the stroller on the lower deck.
Kids Commentary: Some lines (like City Sightseeing) offer a dedicated kids' audio channel with stories.

Best Stops for Families

Zoo Berlin / Aquarium: Usually a major hub stop.
Legoland Discovery Centre: Near Potsdamer Platz stop.
Alexanderplatz: For the TV Tower and huge candy shops.

Practical Tips

Strollers: Buses are wheelchair/stroller accessible on the lower deck.
Snacks: Bring them! But keep the bus clean.
Timing: Don't do the full 2-hour loop with a toddler. Hop off every 45 mins.
