Best Transit stations in Germany

Berlin Hauptbahnhof Central Train Station is an absolute marvel! It's not just a transportation hub; it's an immersive experience that feels like a scene from a futuristic movie. The elevator capsules with glass walls make you feel like you're in a spaceship ready for takeoff. The abundance of restaurants, brand shops, and convenience stores throughout the station transforms it into a massive integrated mall.

One remarkable feature is its multi-level structure, where trains arrive and depart on different levels, showcasing its modernity. The cleanliness of the station is commendable, given the constant flow of travelers. You'll find familiar chains like McDonald's and REWE, delightful donut shops, captivating bookstores, and so much more.

While the station is a treasure trove, it could benefit from improved signage, especially for English-speaking tourists. Despite this minor hiccup, Berlin Hauptbahnhof remains a tourist attraction in its own right, a destination worth exploring. The kindness of the people and the sheer grandeur of this station will leave you eager to return. A must-visit spot for travelers and a testament to Berlin's forward-thinking infrastructure.

Completely underground train station.

I’ve seen many big and huge stations in cities across Europe and UK. But Berlin Hauptbahnhof Central Train Station is incredibly huge and sophisticated. It was like in the science fiction movie where it’s a home of the aliens or something with spaceship 🚀👾👽
The elevator capsules with glasses, the restaurants chains are everywhere, the brands shops and it’s just like a huge mall but integrated with train station.
I was lost and somehow Berlin treated me kind and some people helped me. I’ll be back someday.

This train station is a tourist attraction in itself! It stretches on many levels and even trains arrive on different levels, very modern. There are many shops and restaurants and it’s fairly clean despite the massive traffic.

Very good main train station in Berlin central, with many possibilities to look into shops, coffees and restaurants.
The main trane station is also close to river Spree, where you can use alot of time to explore opportunities alongside the river.

Berlin Central Station, or Berlin Hauptbahnhof, is the bustling heart of the city's transportation network. This modern architectural marvel not only connects you to various parts of Germany and Europe but also offers a shopping and dining experience like no other. With its sleek design and easy accessibility, it's the perfect starting point for exploring Berlin's many attractions. Don't forget to grab a coffee and soak in the energy of this iconic transportation hub before you embark on your Berlin adventure.

Beautiful, historical and important place in Germany's history
A must visit

One of the modern and big stations of germany, with all kinds of facilities.

Beau parc, Sbahn facile pour le centre ville et l'aéroport.

It's a nice tall gate and represents the history of the city. You can literally breathe (and imagine) the history. Beautiful and a must see.

Süsser kleiner Bus und Bahnhof, Bäcker gleich dabei und alles Übersichtlich.

Guys, this is the transit station, not the plaza. Don’t write your plaza reviews here.
The thing is, this is a transit station, so I don’t have much to say.
Quick and straightforward, I’ve never seen a single train here get delayed.
High quality, good hygiene, worth it. I like this place.

A great station with high quality and diverse facilities. Bear in mind that you need to pay for the toilet, but cards are accepted. Note too that the luggage lockers only accept coins and the change machines were out of action when we visited. Lots of beggars selling papers and collecting in cups - be aware.

A HUGE and beautiful station full of amazing shops, restaurants and convenience stores. This station is massive and has multiple floors with trains leaving from several platforms. There is a McDonald’s, a REWE, donut shops, book shops and more. Toilets are all mostly clean and only costs a small charge to enter. Signage could be a bit better as an English speaking tourist, can be a bit confusing at times. Apart from this, I love this station.

Well strategised, excellent service from the Bahnhof staffs, nice layout, information of the next catching trains are right in every corner, the Bahnhof Staff are right there if incase of any inquiries! And the connecting trams and business are just right close by!

Clean train station

The terminal is maintained sparkling clean. Interiors are minimalistic, soothing colours. Lots of natural light, adequate shops and restaurants. Be ready for a 15-30 minute wait at passport control.

There are luggage lockers for good price - small for 3 euro/24 h and big for 5 euro/24 h. The big one is perfect for two cabin bags and a backpack

Great Spot. Site of open air concerts, general gathering place and a central location to explore the centre of Munich. Surrounded by shops,restaurants and several must see attractions.

You always have a nice view of the sunsets here. Cool for taking pictures etc.

Sometimes a lot of chaos as well but other than that on most nights, this place is beautiful and calming.

The station is just right under the big cathedral as you come out from the station, you will see the beautiful platz.

I visited the MVG Kundencenter today to return my monthly IsarCard Jobticket which quite honestly took a long time of waiting in line. But the people working there were very kind especially the two ladies who were taking care of the queue giving out sweets for everyone waiting. Furthermore the man behind the desk I talked to was able to cancel my ticket one month earlier than I thought is possible so that was a nice surprise and very well worth the wait!

Check it out if you are in Berlin especially during the festival of lights and the holiday season

Their monthly policy for the app subscription it's just crazy. If you buy the subscription after the 10th of the month you will have to buy a minimum subscription of two month even if you only want one month. My transport in Germany for only 6 days trip it's going to cost me 88 eur instead of 49 and they deny any kind of refund.

Unbelievable. I'm so angry.

Nice staff and did well under stress but super long queue with few staff. They'll need at least 15 staff instead of 5 maybe. MVG also needs to digitize their services to let customers do them on smart phone instead of in person. But really with OpenAI and Chat GPT the whole MVG will soon realize how behind they are with customer service.

Top 🔝 U-Bahn 🚇

This landmark is very important in Munich. It has a big square whereby many tour groups and people meet or gather. Because of the crowd, one still has to be careful of their belongings, although Germany is generally very safe. Nonetheless, unfortunate things still can happen. There are numerous boutiques and malls around the square for shoppers and cafes for people who like to sit down and people watch. The architecture of the buildings are very nice and grand. There is a underground station for those looking to travel here via public transport.

The Brandenburg Gate, located in the heart of Berlin, is an iconic symbol of Germany's tumultuous history. Completed in 1791, the gate has stood witness to centuries of upheaval and change, from the triumphs of the Prussian Empire to the horrors of the Holocaust.
Today, the Brandenburg Gate stands as a symbol of unity and freedom, having played a central role in the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The gate has become one of Berlin's most visited tourist attractions, attracting millions of visitors each year.
History of the Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a symbol of peace and victory after the end of the Seven Years' War. Designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans, the gate was inspired by the Propylaea, the gateway to the Acropolis in Athens.
The gate features 12 Doric columns, six on each side, supporting an entablature with a frieze of horses and chariots. Above the frieze is a quadriga, a chariot drawn by four horses driven by the goddess Eirene, symbolizing peace.
In 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte entered Berlin and ordered the quadriga to be taken to Paris as a war trophy. The quadriga was returned to Berlin in 1814 after Napoleon's defeat. During the 19th century, the Brandenburg Gate became an essential symbol of Prussian power and was often used to celebrate military victories.
During World War II, the Brandenburg Gate was heavily damaged by Allied bombing raids. After the war, Berlin was divided into four zones, with the Brandenburg Gate located in the Soviet-controlled zone. The gate became a symbol of the Cold War and the division of Germany.
In 1961, the East German government erected the Berlin Wall, which ran just a few meters to the east of the gate. The gate was inaccessible for almost three decades, and the quadriga was covered in graffiti and bullet holes.
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989
On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, signalling the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany. Thousands of people flocked to the Brandenburg Gate to celebrate the historic moment, and the gate became a symbol of hope and unity.
The quadriga was restored, and the gate was again opened to the public. Today, the gate is a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Germany's commitment to freedom and democracy.
The Brandenburg Gate today
The Brandenburg Gate is a popular destination for tourists and locals. The gate is at the end of Unter den Linden, a tree-lined boulevard that runs through the heart of Berlin.
Visitors can walk through the gate and explore the surrounding area, home to many museums, restaurants, and shops. The entrance is also famous for events and celebrations, including the annual New Year's Eve party.
The Brandenburg Gate has become an important symbol of Berlin's past and present. It stands as a testament to the German people's resilience and commitment to democracy and freedom.

Окраина города. Грусно всё.

Cool station, busy and nice, bur I think that for many people it is very confusing. I had to help several people to get oriented because they are looking for the S-Bahn or Regional trains, and they do not know how to get there so easily. But it is a nice place where you can also find supermarkets open during Sunday as well.

It has service from lines S1, S2, S25, and S26 from S-Bahn, and line U5 from U-Bahn.

The absolute quietest station for how large it is. Took a second to find the exit but once out I was amazed to see how pretty the entrance/exit was. The whole train system was super easy and non-German speaking tourists, to which I commend the translated signs.

Ja ganz cool, Name Valid UwU

Beautiful park in the very center of the city, nice to walk through on a summer day on your way from the West to the east.

Nicht besonders sauber, wenn man die Schweizer Bahnhöfe ansieht, dann sieht man was geht.

Very busy station, yet people are not keeping their distance nor are they wearing mandatory masks...

Sunday - and still full with tourists ;)
Enjoyable to just sit there and soak in the atmosphere and the sun.

Gut 👍

Overcrowded to the extreme. Passengers had to wait for up to five minutes just to leave the platform via one tine stairs an an elevator that holds two persons with luggage. Reasonably clean, no shade, almost no seating available

Awesome place for nature lovers 🐱😀

Da gibt es eine Straßenbahn 🚊, mehrere Buslinien und eine U-Bahnlinie. Ausserdem gibt es da mehrere Geschäfte. Und heute war sogar ein Fest.

Das Zentrum Neuhausens. Urbanes München mit entspannten Leuten. Shopping, Wochenmarkt immer Donnerstags. Kaufhof und jeder Menge Restaurants und Cafés.

Ok

Gut ausgeschilderte U-Bahnstation. Hell erleuchtet mit allen notwendigen Informationen. Vielen Dank für die saubere Toilette! 👍

One of the most important station in Berlin. Earlier, when Tegel airport were operational this was one of the most important station. Even now it connects to the heart of Berlin and is still an important one. Over the years the structure has remained identical.

The Brandenburg Gate is much more than just one of Berlin’s historic city gates. It is one of the world’s most famous Berlin landmarks. It is a symbol for many important historical events of the 19th and 20th centuries. Many music festivals with light and sound modern technologies

Fast so gut wie in der Innenstadt
Bars und Restaurants und Geschäfte und die u Bahn Station und die Busse
Alles da was man braucht
Bis zum Nymphenburger schloss ist es auch nicht mehr weit
Unbedingt das Restaurant Alex ausprobieren
Sonntag gibt es da Brunch...

One of the top most attraction for the visitors in Berlin. People use to visit this place must. The gate has a historical importance, an opening between east and west Germany. You will find pictures of the Tor everywhere. There are some visiting places just in a walking ways from the Berlin Brandenburg Tor. You will find rickshaw, horse ride etc here.

Nice recently renovated station with bakery, coffee place and tobacco shop.

A connection of S-Bahn and RE (regional trains). They have fix schedule, for example, 18:21 and 19:48. You may find some cozy benches with USB charging ports inside the station. There are three shops which sell drinks especially coffee or Turkish black tea.(same as beer and…) Also there is a flower shop there.

Clean small station. Convenient to navigate and access. Good connection to Central Railway Station via S Bahn and regional trains.

Beautiful place and nice shopping malls nearly

Man bekommt alles, freundliches Personal, passt.

They want to carrot.

Everything's nice, except a petty crime happened to us in our first time being here. I took photo of spot before we walked to Berlin Wall Memorial. Three looking students ( 2 girls, 1 boy) approached us when we came out from the underground station. Three looked OK ( no make-up, good faces, casual dress). They introduced as volunteers to an Int'l Student Group ( I forgot the name), wanted visitors to support € 10/ each so students in need have better living. They showed us book of different signatures & € 10 people wrote down. So, we did & cash out. We walked away but I then stopped looking at map. We're near enough to see next gentleman was stopped by them. He's asked for same thing. Unlike us, he refused " Kids, I help myself only". Guess what!? The boy got angrily saying behind that man "No money, go back to your country. You're not welcomed here". That moment, I realized, they're not "genuine volunteers".

Nice Station in Berlin at crossing centre, very convenient accessible by U Bahn Station and Bus station. Building seems to be under construction, so long distance regional train are boarded separately, clean and toilets available.

Hier fahren U-Bahnen rein und raus. Man kann sich hinsetzen und Werbung auf Bildschirmen anschauen. Wenn man mag, kann man sich vorher etwas zu essen kaufen oder gegen ein geringes Entgelt seine Notdurft verrichten. Zu Monatsbeginn gibt es lange Schlangen an den Automaten. Ernsthaft, du liest Bewertungen zu U-Bahnhöfen?

Wenn man frühs noch einen Sitzplatz in der u6 abbekommen möchte, sollte man direkt hier einsteigen.
Ansonsten halt ne gewöhnliche Ubahnhaltestelle.

Nice and clean. The overall impression was very positive when compared with many other major cities' subway systems.
The metro in Berlin worked very well and it was easy to understand where to go even for us who do not know the German language.

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass
I'm just down the line from your love (Zoo Station)
Under the sign of your love (Zoo Station)
I'm gonna make it on time, make it on time (Zoo Station)
Just a stop down the line (Zoo Station)

Small and cozy station. There is a Saturday market just outside the station.

To get to The Berlin Flea Market, you can get off here.

ACHTUNG! Hier wird Kameraüberwacht!

For me personally U-bahn was excellent way of going through Berlin and I liked artsy parts. Stations are clean and you can relatively fast and easy go around using all available U and S lines.

4 platforms (2 of them are for S-bahn) easy access, but there is something missing here. And I do not mean shops.

A modern build, spacious and very accesible complex. Great restaurants around too!

When you are in the city for a while, you cross the Branderburger Tor several times, and when there is any special festivity, or special day for the city, will take event in the Branderburger Tor for sure, gathering the people and with any show or spectacle. I personally recommend ( if you are visiting during October ) going at night for the festival of lights, they make a show of lights with figures on the gate. Another way to see it.

One of the best stations in Berlin. Easy catching S bahns and U bahns. Frequently trains coming and going.
Has a good waiting area with comfortable seats and marts available.
Good for traveling entire Berlin.
Wheelchair accessible
Easy going for kids and adolescents.

from the Airport coming or going to the Airport Tegel (TXL) is possible you've to Change on this Station / Bahnhof / U-Bahnhof to / from the Bus.

Please use to the Airport TXL Bus No.: X9 (express) or 109 at STOP 1.

The modern side of Berlin is here! A place that was completely bombed during the WWII and remained derelict and empty for decades gave place to very modern constructions and it's a very cultural hub: cinemas, bars, lounges and, of course, the Berlin Philharmonik building. If you're in search of modern architecture, Potdsdamerplatz is a "no-miss" place.

Nicht alles, was glänzt, ist Gold. Das macht aber gar nichts, denn die Fußbodenmosaiken unter den 💺inseln bewundere ich jedesmal aufs Neue beim Besuch dieser 🚇station.

I really enjoy this part of Munich as it's compact, one can find most typical services and shops in a small perimeter (e.g. restaurants, coffee and cake opportunities, hospital (not because of the first suggested places), Galeria Kaufhof, postal office),
has a traditional feel, but also a young, hipster atmosphere, not to mention safe and family friendly.
Also, today, November 18th, they're getting ready to quickly arrange the Christmas market. Needless to say that if you are used to small towns atmosphere, this is the market to come to.

A huge, beautiful station which seems to have started to fall into a state of disrepair.

Dirty floors, filthy glass, dirt and dust along edges of floor and escalator, the amazing wall light panels have a lot of bulbs needing replaced.

I am saddened that one of the places I loved to visit when in Berlin has become one that I would recommend you consider avoiding ....... unless somebody sorts out a cleanup operation to bring this location back to its former glory.

Kleiner Bahnhof

Meiner Meinung nach eine der Besten Ecken in München, da einerseits nicht zu abgehoben und überbewertet andererseits auch nicht zu grattlig. Gutes Mittelmaß. Viele nette Geschäfte und Restaurants, sehr gute Verkehrsanbindung.
