Our experience in using Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour of Berlin

We took a few trips using this type of tourist service to get to know some European cities. So this city could not be less and we are going to leave our experience to expand the views of the tourist bus in Berlin. At least there are 4 tourist bus companies in Berlin. We chose the Tourist Bus Citysightseeing and the conclusion is that it is worth the tourist bus of Berlin because in a short time it can make a very extensive tour and with very interesting explanations.

The Berlin Citysightseeing tour bus has 2 routes:

– The Classic Tour
– The Tour of the Wall

Each route lasts 120 minutes.

During the whole trip you have comments in your language of what you see through the headphones. Each route is a ticket that costs € 19 although there is also the possibility of booking a combined tour valid for two days and costing € 25.

The ideal way to land in the city

You will only have to print the receipt that you will receive upon finishing the online purchase process and deliver it along with an identification document in any of the Berlin tour buses that you take. The truth is that it is the ideal way to land in the city and get a global idea of ​​it. We already did that with the segway because we did not need it so much anymore. Precisely the Citysightseeing did not stop at the Bundestag but at the Brandenburg Gate, near anyway, and we went there.

In general, the bus from the Gate passes in front of the Parliament, crosses the river Spree by the bridge of Calatrava, skirts the river and continues towards the column of victory. There, take the avenue that goes to the Charlottenburg Palace across Berlin’s main park, the Tiergarten.

And…

Visit the area of ​​West Berlin, the Kurfurstendamm avenue and the Church of the Remembrance or Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche. After that, you pass through the embassy area and enter Potsdamerplatz. You pass in front of the old building of the Luftwaffe and Topography of Terror and pass through the Gendarmenmarkt where you will see the French church and its German twin.

Specifically, it leaves you facing the most famous mural, that of Breznev’s kiss and the president of the DRA, Communist Germany.
