Berlin questions

Is three days enough for Berlin?

Three days covers the main central sites if you move efficiently between areas each day. Buy a 72-hour public transport ticket for 28.50 euros to avoid delays.

Do I need to book the Reichstag dome in advance?

Register for a free Reichstag dome slot at least one week ahead through the official website. Bring your passport on the day of the visit.

How much does a Museum Island day ticket cost?

A day ticket for all Museum Island museums costs 18 euros and allows one entry per museum. Purchase it online to skip the ticket lines at the Neues Museum.

Is public transport reliable between Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain?

U-Bahn line U1 connects Kreuzberg to Friedrichshain in under 15 minutes for 3.50 euros per ride. A day pass works better for multiple trips across the city.
