Plan

Build the route around reliability.

For Berlin accessibility, the best plan is usually not the shortest map route. It is the route with fewer fragile links.

Planning confidence: medium until lift status is checked.

Best first move Use a barrier-free route search, then check lift outages before leaving.
Route shape Favor fewer transfers and one compact sightseeing area.
Backup Keep a bus, tram or taxi fallback if one elevator controls the day.
    BVG route filter Set barrier-free access before choosing a U-Bahn, tram or bus route. VBB lift check Check whether defective lifts affect the connection you plan to use. S-Bahn outages Review current S-Bahn elevator and escalator outages before departure.
    Local rule: if the day depends on one lift, treat that lift as unconfirmed until you check it the same day.
