I love and hate Berlin. I was fascinated by the stunning scenery and rich history, but I was overwhelmed by the high cost. I think trainpal's discount coupon saved me.

Thank you. This was helpful. One note I would like to add for tourists is, if you have a validated German rail card, Interrail or Eurail train pass for the duration of your visit to Berlin, the S-Bahn, RE, RB, ICE, EC and EC trains are all covered by the passes. The U-bahn trains, buses, trams and ferries are NOT covered by rail passes. In fact the train rule applies to all of German cities with S-Bahn services.

I recently came back from Berlin and your vid made me go in search of the ferry. I rode it and it was indeed peaceful. Serenity❤

Hi Mariano, thanks for watching. Once you validate the ticket, you don't need to validate it again. The ticket will be valid for 7 consecutive days from validation and not 7 individual days.

You didn't mention the cheaper short distance ticket (at 3:44, in the right column). I think they are good for up to three stops away.

Since the hotel check in opposite the airport is only much later in the afternoon, i was thinking of going for a train ride and walk a little. This is my first overseas trip anyway. I am open for suggestions as long as i am back at the airport hotel by 4pm. Is there a scenic route train ride? I am a little confused about the AB C zone you had mentioned in your video. Since the airport is in Zone C, i am pretty sure that i will need to get the Zone C when i am returning to the airport. But do i need to get the Zone C when i am departing the airport?

If you plan to travel frequently to and from Zone C within 24 hours, only then does it make sense to get the 24 hour one. Hope that helps :)

No problem! Just the first one. It's a 24 hour ticket, so when you validate it, it will be valid for 24 hours. Validation doesn't really have to do with hopping on and off transport. Instead, it's to show when exactly a particular ticket type/duration takes effect.

Hi. Great video and very informative. I have a question about the berlin welcome card, do I validate only the first time I start using the public transport or do I have to validate it every time I use a bus or a train?

Hi there Constantina! Thanks for stopping by! If you prefer to buy it online and the website has all the information you need, then by all means do that. If you prefer to speak to a person, then simply go to one of the bigger stations in Berlin (like Hauptbahnhof, Alexanderplatz, Ostkreuz) and ask the office desk about the card. They'll help you just fine. You shouldn't have to validate it every time, but just ask the people to make sure. I've personally never actually bought one before as I've been a local resident anyway.

This was really helpful! Headed to Berlin soon and this definitely helped with navigation anxiety. Is there another way to get to AB without having to use IC from the airport?

The ticket is validated in the app as soon as you buy it. Regarding your second question, it depends on the type of it ticket you bought. If you bought a daily ticket, then a day.

Do you have to validate the Deutschland Ticket as well before starting to use it?
