Local knowledge for Berlin

Where to stay

Budget travelers tend to land in Friedrichshain, especially within walking distance of Warschauer Strasse (S3/S5/S7/S9 and U1), which keeps you close to the Simon-Dach-Strasse bar strip without paying Mitte rates. Neukölln around Karl-Marx-Strasse and the Schillerkiez is cheaper still and sits on the U8, which runs straight through Kreuzberg and into the center.

Getting around

  • Buy a 7-day BVG AB-zone pass on arrival. A single trip from BER Airport already costs a few euros, and the weekly pass pays for itself quickly, so it pays off by day two if you're moving around at all.
  • Markthalle Neun in Kreuzberg runs Street Food Thursday every week. A full meal runs just a few euros, and the quality is well above anything near Checkpoint Charlie for the same price.
  • Most Berlin hostels quote the bed rate before adding the city tourism tax (a small nightly fee). Ask whether it's included before booking, since it can meaningfully change a multi-night total.

When to go

January and February are the cheapest months by far. July and August fill hostels quickly, and prices spike further around Christopher Street Day in late June and Lollapalooza weekend in early September.
