Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted when boarding at any stop.

Can I start the tour at a stop other than Tauentzienstraße?

Yes. You can board at any designated stop on either route — there is no fixed starting point.

What is the difference between the Classic ticket and the All Routes ticket?

The Classic ticket covers the red route only (19 stops through central and western Berlin). The All Routes ticket adds the green East Berlin and Wall route, giving you access to all 27 stops across both circuits.

How often do the buses run?

Departure times and frequency can vary by season and day. Check the official City Sightseeing website for current schedules before you travel.

Is the tour suitable for young children?

Children under 6 travel free of charge, though they are not entitled to a dedicated seat. Older children are welcome on board.

When does my ticket's time window start?

Your 24 or 48-hour window begins from the moment you first board and validate your ticket, so you can choose when to start.
