Public transportation www.bvg.de ) The Berlin fare zone is divided into three sub-zones: A, B and C. • Zone A: The Berlin city center, up to and including the urban rail (S-Bahn) Ring Line • Zone B: From the urban rail (S-Bahn) Ring Line to the city borders • Zone C: A belt surrounding Berlin that includes the city of Potsdam. You can use buses, subways (U-Bahn), tram (Straßenbahn), and the S-Bahn with the same ticket. It is also valid in regional trains. This is of interest if you want to travel to Airport Schönefeld or to Potsdam. Within the Berlin city borders, an AB ticket is always enough. For a trip to Potsdam use an ABC ticket (single or day-ticket). Ticket Fares If you plan to travel around and are using the BVG more than twice in one day, it is worth buying a Day Ticket (AB) for 5.80 EUR from a bus driver or a machine in the U- or S-Bahn stations. Single tickets (AB) cost 2.10 EUR. Please note that after you buy your ticket from a machine you need to validate it by putting it into the red or yellow machines usually found near the ticket machine (tickets bought from a bus driver are validated already). Single tickets are valid for two hours on the buses, trams, urban rail and subway trains, regional and regional express trains, as well as ferries of all participating transport companies. The ticket is not valid for return or round trips. For short stretches you should take advantage of short-trip tickets, 1.20 EUR, allowing you to travel a maximum of 3 urban rail (S-Bahn) or subway (U-Bahn) stations, or 6 bus or tram stops. |

Sightseeing tours For those of you who would like to see some of Berlin's tourist highlights without necessarily doing much walking, we recommend taking the doubledecker bus 100. It leaves every few minutes from Bahnhof Zoo and drives by the new diplomatic quarter, Bellevue Palace, the Reichstag, onwards to Unter den Linden, Friedrichstraße and Alexanderplatz and back, offering various options to leave the bus at sights and catch the next one to continue the journey (Day- or Week-ticket needed). Alternatively, there are many guided tours on foot or by bike, for instance: www.berlinfuehrungen.de/ www.berlin-starting-point.de/ www.anke-fromme.de/index.html www.biketaxi.de
