What your trip would cost

How this is worked out: single AB ride €4.00, 24-hour AB day ticket €11.20 (whichever is cheaper per day), average paid-museum entry counted at €15, Museum Pass Berlin €32 (30+ museums, no transport), CityTourCard €23.80 (48h) / €35.60 (72h), WelcomeCard €28.50 (48h) / €39.50 (72h), and WelcomeCard Museum Island €62 (72h, transport plus daily entry to the open Museum Island museums). Pergamonmuseum is currently closed. Partner discounts are not counted, so a transport card can beat the displayed figure if you use them. Check current prices before buying.
