Walk of Berlin • Tourist Tips

Is the Hop-On Hop-Off Worth It for Your Trip?

Set up your Berlin trip and see the honest cost of the sightseeing bus against two better ways to see the centre: the €4 Bus 100/200 corridor and a walking tour on foot. The numbers move as you change your plan.

Typical 2026 figures. Hop-on hop-off is shown as a mid-range price across Berlin's main operators (roughly €30–€45 per adult for 24 hours); exact fares, child prices and multi-day passes vary by operator. Bus 100/200 is a normal BVG bus covered by any valid ticket, so its cost is just the €11.20 AB day ticket. The walking-tour line is my Berlin Then and Now walk at €15 a person, booked once for the trip.
