Berlin WelcomeCard
The Berlin WelcomeCard allows for unlimited use of public transport and gives you up to 50% off in more than 190 museums and attractions in Berlin.
Unlimited Public Transport
The Berlin WelcomeCard includes unlimited travel on the subway (U-Bahn), trains (S-Bahn) and buses of Berlin and surrounding cities.
- AB Zone: Valid for the Berlin municipality (includes the Berlin Tegel Airport).
- ABC Zone: Valid for the municipalities of Berlin and Potsdam (includes the Berlin Schönefeld airport).
Each card permits the use of public transport by an adult and up to a maximum of 3 children between 6 and 14. Children under 6 travel free.
Discounts
As well as transport, the Berlin WelcomeCard includes discounts of up to 50% on the main attractions of Berlin. This includes:
- Berlin Cathedral
- Television Tower
- Charlottenburg Palace
- Checkpoint Charlie Museum
- DDR Museum
- Madame Tussauds Berlin
- Deutsches Technikmuseum
- Sanssouci Palace
- Currywurst Museum
As well as discounts on a number of attractions, spectacles, shops and restaurants. Clicking on this link you can see the full list of attractions included.
Museum Island
If you're thinking of visiting at least two of the six museums on Museum Island (really unmissable!) we recommend the option of 3 days + museum island, as the discounts included here on their own make the card worthwhile. Museums included are:
- Old Museum
- New Museum
- Old National Gallery
- Bode Museum
- Pergamon Museum
- James Simon Gallery
How Does it Work?
The Berlin WelcomeCard is valid from the time of first use. It can then be used during the following 48 or 72 hours, depending which option you've chosen. For example, if you activate a 48 Hours ABC Zones card at 10 am on Monday, it will be valid until 10 am on Wednesday.
If you select the longer duration options, the card will be valid for periods of days rather than hours (4, 5 or 6 consecutive days), so we recommend using it for the first time in the morning.
Each Berlin WelcomeCard is valid for one adult and up to 3 children.
