The Berlin WelcomeCard with hop-on hop-off bus is a multi-day city pass bundling public transport for zones A, B and C, free entry to more than 25 attractions, discounts at over 140 partners, and one day of hop-on hop-off bus access, starting from EUR 119 for 3 to 6 days.

What does the Berlin WelcomeCard include?

The card covers unlimited public transport across Berlin's fare zones A, B and C for however many days you choose, from 3 up to 6. It unlocks free entry to more than 25 attractions and activities, discounts of up to 50 percent at over 140 restaurants, bars and tours, and a single day of hop-on hop-off bus access somewhere within your card's validity window. Children under 14 travel free on public transport when accompanied by an adult card holder, and a children's version of the card exists if you want kids to also access the free attractions.

Is the Berlin WelcomeCard worth it compared to a bus-only ticket?

This comes down to how many paid attractions you plan to visit and how many days you are staying. If you are in Berlin for 3 days or longer and intend to visit at least 2 or 3 of the 25 plus included attractions, the card can work out cheaper than paying for those tickets individually plus a separate hop-on hop-off ticket. If your main goal is flexible bus sightseeing across multiple days rather than museum visits, a dedicated multi-day hop-on hop-off ticket like the Big Bus 48 hour option gives you more bus access for less money.

What does the hop-on hop-off portion actually give you?

The card includes just one day of unlimited hop-on hop-off bus riding, not a day for every day of your card's validity. Treat it as a bonus overview tour you slot into one day of your trip rather than your main transport method, since public transport covers your other days.

How much does the Berlin WelcomeCard cost?

Prices start from EUR 119 for the shortest validity window and rise with each additional day, with a children's version priced separately and not automatically included. Check the current price before booking, since the card's cost and the attractions it covers can both change.

Getting there and activating your card

You collect or activate the WelcomeCard according to the instructions in your booking confirmation, after which it works immediately for public transport and the included attractions. A dedicated mobile app helps track which attractions you have used and which discounts remain available.

Insider tips for using this card

GetYourGuide gift codes cannot be applied toward this product, so budget for the full price if that is normally part of your payment plan. Always present your valid card to partner venues before use, since discounts and free entry are not applied automatically after the fact. Map out which of the 25 plus attractions you actually want to see before you buy, since the card only pays off if you use several of them.

Who should book this pass?

This suits visitors staying 3 days or more who plan a mix of museums, public transport and one day of bus sightseeing, families who want the convenience of one pass covering transport and entry fees, and travelers who would rather pre-budget their sightseeing costs than pay as they go. It is less suited to short-stay visitors or anyone whose plan is mostly riding the bus, where a dedicated hop-on hop-off ticket covers more bus time for less money.

How does it compare to a plain hop-on hop-off ticket?

The WelcomeCard trades bus flexibility for broader attraction access and public transport. If bus sightseeing across multiple days is your priority, the Big Bus tour or City Sightseeing ticket gives you more of what you actually want.
