Tour mit dem Bus 100

Mitte

Berlin's cheapest city tour operates as a regular service: BVG Bus 100 connects Charlottenburg and Mitte on a route that passes the Reichstag, Victory Column, and Brandenburg Gate. Not a tourist bus, but real public transport at the regular ticket price.

Tour with Bus 100: Sightseeing at Public Transport Fares

After reunification, Line 100 was the first line to connect East and West, and that’s exactly what you can still feel today. Bus 100 is one of the city’s best-known bus lines and a cost-effective alternative to expensive city tours. If you want to explore Berlin with parents or relatives without spending a fortune on hop-on-hop-off buses, this is the right place. The connection from S+U Zoologischer Garten to Alexanderplatz passes many central stations and, in just over half an hour, goes by sights such as the Reichstag and the House of World Cultures. Just hop on, take a seat on the upper deck, and marvel.

The route starts at Zoologischer Garten station, passes Breitscheidplatz with the Memorial Church, continues to the Victory Column, Bellevue Palace, the government district with the Federal Chancellery and the Reichstag, past the Brandenburg Gate, and then along the boulevard Unter den Linden. A significant part of Berlin’s capital history in a single ride.

Practical Information for the Family Activity

The BVG ticket costs 4.00 Euros, 2.50 Euros for children between 6 and 14 years, and is valid for two hours. If you already have a day ticket, you pay nothing extra. All common BVG tickets are also valid on this line; no additional ticket is required. The line is barrier-free, which makes the journey pleasant even for older relatives. During the day, buses run approximately every ten minutes, so you can spontaneously get on and off along the way.

If desired, you can use the ride like a hop-on-hop-off experience and explore individual stations specifically before continuing with the next Bus 100.
