Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus Tours of Berlin

These are the double-decker, open-top bus tours offered by different companies with their own city sightseeing buses circling the city along a particular route all day long.

There are designated stops and riders can use their ticket to jump off the bus at any stop and get back on at the same or a different bus stop.

Bus Stop Brandenburg Gate

Some people opt to stay on the bus from the first stop to the last. In that case, the sightseeing travel length of most tours will be about 2-3 hours.

You can make your day as long as you want by hopping on and off buses throughout the city sightseeing Berlin.

However, your ticket is only valid for the number of days included in your ticket price (generally 1 or 2 days) and only during the operating hours of the sightseeing bus tour you've chosen. 

Most companies offer a few different routes and you can buy a ticket for one route, two routes, or however many they sell as a combined ticket.

CITY SIGHTSEEING BERLIN TOUR

This very popular double-decker hop-on-hop-off tour company offers several tour routes you can build into a package.

Several extra features make these tours an excellent choice.

City Sightseeing Bus

They have 4 out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor and Get Your Guide ( read some of the reviews ) with over 900 reviews.

Many of the reviews mention that these tours are a good value for your money, given the amount of territory you cover, especially if you buy a 2-day ticket with several routes.

The biggest complaints are the inconsistency of the live guides. Some live guides are described in reviews as " excellent " and "informative. "

Other reviewers describe some live guides as "rude" "moody" "grouchy" "unengaging" and even "reading a script from an iPad."  

It's clearly luck of the draw when you take a tour with a live guide. As for the pre-recorded commentary, most people found it informative but average.

On the plus side, this company offers pre-recorded commentary in 9 languages.

CitySightseeing Green Bus

Tour features: 

Live guides speaking English and German on most tours    

This company provides a live guide who delivers commentary in English and German. For a live guide, look for the green/beige buses.

CitySightseeing Red bus

Pre-recorded commentary in several languages on most tours   

You'll get a set of headphones at the start of the tour so you can listen in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, and Chinese.

For these tours, be sure to get on the red buses.

Two free walking tours are offered on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (from April to October)  

If you take tours on the above days, you have the choice to get off the bus and take free, one-hour walking tours.

One tour is about the Third Reich and the other is about the Berlin Wall.  

(Check out our self-guided tour of Nazi Berlin and also our posts about where to visit the Berlin Wall .)

TEMPLEHOFER BUS TOURS

You’ll see this company’s all-white double-decker buses circling Berlin all day long, with live guides providing entertaining commentary to the riders.

Templehofer Bus Tours Berlin

They cover one route that can be taken as a hop-on-hop-off tour with a ticket that lasts for one day or as a stay-on tour, in which case the whole route takes around 2 hours.

NOTE: A 24-hour ticket with this bus is included for free with a purchase of the Go City Berlin Pass .  

This bus tour is definitely more affordable than the first option.

This company has a pretty impressive overall review profile with a better than 4 out of 5-star rating ( read the reviews ), though the reviews are mixed. 

Hours of operation:

Tours start every day at 09:30 from all stops. The end time is based on the season.

From 01 November to 31 March, city sightseeing buses run until 17:00 (5 pm), every 20-30 minutes (every 15-20 minutes on Saturdays).

Start your tour no later than 14:30 (2:30 pm) to make sure you have time to enjoy the full length of the hop-on-hop-off tour.

  • €28/Adult | €19/Children
  • €22/Youth (12-17 yrs)
  • Children under 3 free
  • More information or to purchase .

CITY CIRCLE SIGHTSEEING

These yellow double-decker city sightseeing buses are operated by several different companies including BBS Berlin, BVB (Bus Verkehr Berlin), Grayline, BEX Sightseeing, and Berolina).

BBS City Circle Sightseeing Bus

Like its competitors, this company has a good overall review profile ( read the reviews ), but the reviews are mixed, so do take a read.

Tour Features: 

Their Berlin Basics route covers the standard tourist sites with 18 stops.

They advertise that buses leave every 10-15 minutes, which is a fairly short interval between buses.

None of their tours have live guides, however, their pre-recorded audio comes in 19 languages.  

This is a big plus if one of those 19 languages is your native tongue.

Be warned that some of the biggest complaints in reviews are over the poor quality of the audio system.

This company’s hop-on-hop-off tours might be worth it if you are a family with young children since you can purchase a 2-day family ticket for €56 total and cover two adults and three children (14 years and under).

In this case, you would be paying about €11 per person for two days of hopping on and off.

The little ones might also appreciate that the buses offer a children’s audio channel in German and English. 

  • Adult (15 years and up) 1 Day ticket €30
  • Children 7–14 years 1-day ticket €15
  • Children 0–6 years free

NOTE: This bus tour is included at no extra cost with the All-Inclusive Berlin Welcome Card .

Magic Bus Berlin

This is a private tour company and not an actual hop-on-hop-off bus tour company in a traditional sense.

The Magic Bus offers scenic tours in an original 1970s VW Bus.

Your personal private guide Jens helps you stroll Berlin & Postdam and makes your tour a cheerful one.

Tour Prices

  • Tour Berlin AB  €130,00
  • Tour Postdam AB  €270,00

Stromma Bus Tours

Stromma originally offered only night tours and their website shows Big Bus Berlin as a hop-on-hop-off option.

There are some seasonal tours offered by Stromma so always check the availability before planning a tour.

In the future, they may once again begin to offer their own bus tours as well! Learn more about Stromma Tours

DISCOUNTS AND COMBO DEALS

This section will provide all the details you need to get a discount either with a tourist pass or a combo package.

They can also save you time, as many of the tours and attractions offer skip-the-queue privileges to cardholders.

The Berlin Welcome Card

The Berlin Welcome Card is available as either an all-inclusive pass or an a-la-carte option.

Go City Berlin Pass

berlin big bus tour map

For more details, make sure to read this Potsdam bus tours post .

ALTERNATIVE BERLIN BUS TOURS

If a hop-on-hop-off tour isn’t your style, you may still want to consider another service.

It’s important to note that most of these alternative bus tours will not allow you to jump off at specific sites and take a look around.

Instead, you can expect to stay on the bus for most of your trip as a professional guide provides information about Berlin.

Ticket prices are usually pretty affordable, and some options even give the hop-on-hop-off companies a run for their money.

You can expect a variety of services including a comedy bus tour, VW bus tour, video bus tour, and even a karaoke bus tour.

If you’re interested in a private outing, you can also get a private bus or limousine tour around the city.

PROS AND CONS OF TAKING A HOP-ON-HOP-OFF TOUR

Save travel time between sights     

Berlin is a huge city and its many attractions are spread out in different neighborhoods.

While it is easy to use public transportation in Berlin (see our post  Tips on public transportation in Berlin ), traveling to multiple locations in one day to see the most popular sights will cut into your time.

This is probably the biggest advantage of taking a bus tour. 

Rather than getting on and off public transportation all day long and having to pay attention to make sure you are on the right train or bus and getting off at the correct station, a Ho/Ho simplifies this process.

You buy one ticket, let the driver do his or her job, and take you directly to the main attractions where you can hop off and explore more, or sit back and continue the ride.

Create your own itinerary 

The various Berlin bus tour companies offer basically the same Ho/Ho routes covering the historic city center, the  Brandenburg Gate , Checkpoint Charlie, Potsdamer Platz , the Reichstag and its dome , and more.

Taking a Ho/Ho tour is like giving yourself an unlimited bus pass to the attractions in Berlin. You have the freedom to create your own itinerary in advance or be spontaneous.

Hop off the bus and stay as long as you like at one sight and breeze past the sights that don't interest you by staying on the bus.

Orient yourself to Berlin  

Another advantage of taking a Ho/Ho is that you get a great overview of the city and can orient yourself.  

If you are visiting for several days, taking a Ho/Ho on your first day of travel gives you a feel for what's out there.

Then you can decide where you would like to go back to and explore in-depth.

Discounts to other attractions  

Some bus companies have partner affiliations that will get you discounts at major attractions, like Madame Tussauds Berlin or Legoland.

All you need to do is show your bus ticket at the attraction to receive the discount.

Connecting with free walking tours  

A few Ho/Ho companies offer walking tours that work in tandem with their bus route.

At certain stops at specific times, you can meet up with one of their walking tours. You just need to show your valid bus ticket to join.  

You can also coordinate your bus tour hop-off choices to correspond with one of our free walking tour starting points.

Our walking tours are twice as long as those included in your Ho/Ho ticket and are also free so why not check out all our offerings?

Click here for our full list of  pay-what-you-wish Berlin Walking Tours .

Mediocre live guides or no live guide at all  

Not all Ho/Hos has a live guide on the bus with you to narrate your trip.

Unless you speak English or German, you will likely receive commentary about the sights via headphones listening to pre-recorded commentary in your language.

The commentary is fine, but it's not the same as a live, spontaneous, and, hopefully, enthusiastic guide on your bus.

And live guides can be a hit or miss - some may be amazing and others can spoil an otherwise nice bus ride!

Street   conditions are not controllable, and it's possible that rather than saving time, your day might be slowed down depending on traffic.

Sights are touristy

This is perfect for a traveler who wants an overview of the most well-known Berlin's top attractions.

But if you prefer seeing sights that are off the beaten track and don't plan on taking advantage of the discounts to other tourist attractions, a hop-on-hop-off tour may not be for you.

BERLIN 100 AND 200 FREE BUS

For those travelers on a tight budget, Berlin’s public bus routes 100 and 200  are a dream come true. 

Both bus routes stop in front of (or within easy walking distance to) many popular sights in central Berlin . 

If you don’t mind forgoing live or recorded tourist commentary, you can save big and see lots with this resourceful self-made hop-on-hop-off bus tour.

You will need a regularly priced bus ticket.

A single ticket for zones A&B costs €2.70 and is good for 2 hours from the time you purchased it.

However, these single tickets allow you to travel only one way.

This means that, even if your trip lasts less than 2 hours, you will need to buy another single ticket to go back in the other direction, if you need to (unless you have a daily/weekly travel pass).

Since you are probably spending all day sightseeing, it might be worth getting a day ticket for €9.00 (AB).

See our post,  Tips on Public Transportation in Berlin , to find out about fare options available.

Click here for an interactive map .

Berlin Free Bus Tour 100 and 200

Both the 100 and 200 buses depart from the Zoologischer Garten station approximately every 10 minutes (though you could also start this tour from Alexander Platz and do the tour in reverse order).

Both buses follow the same route at first, passing by Breitscheidsplatz where what’s left of the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche  (Memorial Church), serves as a reminder of the destruction caused by World War II.

Shortly thereafter, the buses part ways and continue along different routes.

Bus 100 goes through Tiergarten  Park, while Bus 200 travels along the park's southern edge and past the kurfürstendamm and Potsdamer Platz .

At the intersection of Unter den Linden and Glinkastraße, Bus 200 converges with Bus 100 and travels along the same route.

They both travel past many places you will want to see, such as Gendarmenmarkt, Museum Island , the Berliner Dom  (Berlin Cathedral), and Ostbahnof.  

The 100 bus terminates at Alexanderplatz. The entire journey takes approximately 30 minutes if you don't get off.

Bus 200 has a stop at Alexanderplatz but does not terminate there.

The 200 continues another 15 minutes into the Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood and what used to be communist East Berlin and then terminates at Michael Angelostraße. 

There's plenty to see in East Berlin and exploring by foot is the best way to do it. Join one of our pay-what-you-wish walking tours  or use our  Self-guided tour of East Berlin.

Customer Reviews

Keith snelgrove.

Great tour goid driver very enjoyable

Radek Danhel

Interesting way to see the most important sights of the city. The live English-speaking guide joined the bus at Checkpoint Charlie, before that recorded commentaries in several languages were available. Unfortunately, the most important places on our tour had to be omitted as there was a demonstration taking place near thv government offices. But thanks to the live guide we were briefly informed about the sites not visited and he showed us other places not included in the original tour.

Berlin Hop On Hop Off bus tours can be a great way to see the highlights of the city in a short amount of time. It’s no wonder they’re popular with first time visitors to Berlin. But I know the options can be overwhelming. In this article, I’m going to show you two of the most popular options for hop on hop off buses in Berlin , the differences and similarities, what you can expect, and more.

There are several different sightseeing tour buses in Berlin , but I will be focusing on the two biggest ones here. Too many options can get so overwhelming, so looking at only the best Berlin hop on hop off buses should make it a little easier for you to decide which one to take.

Quick verdict: Berlin sightseeing bus tours

There’s a lot of information in this article about the features of the different Berlin hop on hop off buses. So if you’re looking for a quick glance at the differences between the two, this will help you out.

  • Date change: Can't change the date on a 24 hour ticket
  • East Side Gallery: Stops at each end
  • Kids ages: 5 - 15
  • Extras: 24 hour ticket comes with digital walking tour; 48 hour tickets have flexible date change, free walking tours, free currywurst

City Sightseeing Berlin

  • Price (adult 24 hour ticket): A few euros cheaper
  • Price (family 24 hour ticket): No family ticket, more expensive for 2 adults & 2 kids
  • Date change: More flexibility to change the date on a 24 hour ticket

This is just one example though, so if you’re still not sure, keep reading for an in depth look at both Big Bus Berlin and City Sightseeing Berlin bus tours.

Who is a Berlin hop on hop off tour good for?

Taking a hop on hop off bus in Berlin is a good idea for those who want to get an overview of the city in a short amount of time. It’s good for people who might only have one day in Berlin and want to see as many sights as possible without having to figure out public transportation.

But even if you have a week in Berlin, a hop on hop off bus tour can also be a good way to see some of Berlin’s most important landmarks before diving deeper into sightseeing and learning about Berlin’s history. And it can be a good option for people with physical limitations who can’t be on their feet much.

I’ve also heard from people who visit for the Berlin marathon that the hop on hop off tour was a good option for the day before the race when they wanted to rest their feet. So there are lots of different people who can benefit from taking a bus tour like this in Berlin.

Who is it not good for?

While there are lots of reasons why taking a hop on hop off bus tour in Berlin can be a great idea, it’s not for everyone. It’s not for people who want to get off the beaten path in Berlin . Taking a hop on hop off tour might not be right for you if you want to explore slowly and spend lots of time at each attraction.

Berlin Hop On Hop Off Tours

Big Bus Berlin and City Sightseeing Berlin are the two big hop on hop off bus tours in Berlin that I’m discussing in this article, and they have a few similarities. They both offer 24 hour and 48 hour ticket options. Both companies offer mobile tickets or a printable ticket, and both have wifi on the bus.

But it’s the differences between these two sightseeing bus tours in Berlin that will help you decide which is the best one for you. Let’s take a look at Big Bus Berlin and City Sightseeing Berlin hop on hop off bus tours.

Note: Sightseeing bus tours run nearly every day of the year. However, certain events that block major roads might interfere. For example, the hop on hop off buses can’t operate on the day of the Berlin Marathon, which is the last Sunday in September.
