Berlin questions

Do I need to book the Reichstag ahead?

Yes. Reserve free timed tickets online two weeks in advance. Arrive 30 minutes before your slot and bring ID.

Do I need a ticket for Berghain?

No advance tickets are sold. Queue after 11 pm on weekends and expect possible rejection at the door.

Is public transport enough to reach East Side Gallery and RAW-Gelände?

Yes. Use the U-Bahn or S-Bahn with a day pass for 8.80 euros. Both sites sit within a five-minute walk of stations.

Is the Pergamon Museum open?

No. The Pergamon Museum is closed for renovation until at least 2027. Visit the Neues Museum or the Bode Museum on Museum Island instead.
