Transit & Ticket Basics
Stick to AB zones for almost everything you’ll do; buy day passes or short‑term tickets via the BVG app and always validate paper tickets at the platform machines before boarding.
Safety & Street Smarts
Berlin is generally safe, but watch for pickpockets around major sights and on crowded trains; keep bags zipped in front of you and avoid Görlitzer Park late at night.
Respect Local Norms
Sort your trash, respect bike lanes, and use ‘Sie’ (formal you) with strangers; tipping is modest—round up or add a couple of euros rather than a big percentage.
Sunday Slowdown
Most shops close on Sunday; plan your shopping for Friday or Saturday and treat Sunday as your dedicated park, lake, and café day.
Adventure Gear & Weather
Pack comfortable sneakers, a light rain jacket, and clothes you can move in for climbing and parks; Berlin weather can change quickly even in summer.
