How much does the EasyCityPass Berlin cost?

The price depends on two factors: the duration and the fare category. Prices start at €23.80 for 48 hours in Berlin AB; the longest option, covering six days in Berlin and Potsdam, costs €59.90.

The EasyCityPass Berlin does not offer a 24-hour ticket; the shortest validity period is 48 hours.

Berlin AB or Berlin ABC: Which fare zone do I need for my city trip?

The rule of thumb is simple: If you're staying in the city, Berlin AB is enough. If you're arriving at BER or want to go to Potsdam, you'll need Berlin ABC.

• Fare Zone A covers the city center within the S-Bahn ring
• Fare Zone B extends to the city limits
• Fare Zone C covers the surrounding area, Potsdam, and BER Airport.

Prices for Berlin AB for all of Berlin

The Berlin AB ticket covers the entire city, from the Central Station through Mitte to the city limits. If you arrive by train at the Central Station and don’t leave Berlin, the AB ticket is the cheaper option. This option is the cheaper choice for any duration; for example, the 48-hour ticket is €3.80 cheaper than the ABC ticket.

Prices for Berlin ABC throughout Berlin, Potsdam, and BER Airport

The Berlin ABC ticket extends its coverage to the Berlin suburbs, Potsdam, and Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). The surcharge ranges from €3.80 to €8.00, depending on the ticket’s validity period. You can travel from BER to the city center with the ABC ticket via S-Bahn, regional train, or the Airport Express (FEX) without needing an additional ticket. Since an AB ticket cannot be extended retroactively, ABC is the safe choice if you’re arriving via BER or planning a day trip to Potsdam.

What services are included in the EasyCityPass Berlin?

The EasyCityPass Berlin is two things in one: a full-fledged ticket for public transportation and a discount card for about 80 tourist partners. Both benefits are valid for the entire booked period and are already included in the ticket price. There are no additional fees. For 48 hours, the EasyCityPass Berlin includes unlimited rides on

• Subway, commuter rail, bus, tram, and ferry in fare zone AB,
• free travel for up to three children aged 6 to 14, as well as
• partner discounts of up to 50 percent, starting at €23.80.

The financial benefit comes primarily from the partner offers available, such as 25 percent off select Big Bus tickets or 25 percent off Weltballon.

Unlimited travel on the subway, commuter rail, bus, streetcar, and ferry

Within the fare zone covered by your ticket, you can ride as often as you like, with no limit on the number of trips. You can use the subway, S-Bahn, bus, streetcar, ferry, and regional trains within the valid fare zone. Private providers are excluded; these include, among others, the BER2 express bus, long-distance buses, tour buses, and private airport transfers.

Children, dog, stroller, and luggage included

With an EasyCityPass Berlin, you can take up to three children ages 6 through 14 on local public transportation for free, plus any number of children under 6. Also included at no extra cost: one dog per ticket holder, strollers, and standard luggage. A bicycle is not included; you’ll need a separate bike pass for that. Important for families: Partner discounts apply per ticket holder, so children receive the discount on public transit but not automatically on admission fees.

Up to 50 percent off at about 80 partner locations

Discounts range up to 50 percent and are spread across seven categories:

1. City Tours
2. Museums and Exhibitions
3. Theater and Shows
4. Food and Drink
5. Shopping
6. Adventure & Unique Experiences
7. Nightlife

Specific examples from the current partner overview:

• 25% off select Big Bus Tours tickets
• 25% off the regular ticket price at the Renaissance Theater
• 20% off the regular ticket price at IKONO Berlin
• 15% off the regular admission price at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center, Madame Tussauds, and Berlin Dungeon
• 10% off tickets at the Friedrichstadt-Palast in price categories 4 through 1+

Since partners and terms may change, the partner overview is always more up-to-date than the printed flyer, which is reprinted at irregular intervals.

How do you buy the EasyCityPass Berlin? Step by step

Purchasing from the official online store takes just a few minutes, and you'll receive your ticket in your email inbox.

1. Select fare zone: Berlin AB for the city, Berlin ABC for Potsdam, and BER Airport.
2. Select validity period: 48 hours, 72 hours, 4, 5, or 6 days.
3. Enter the start date, start time, and the traveler’s name. This information will be printed on the ticket and cannot be changed later. This means the ticket is not valid from the time of purchase, but rather from the selected start date.
4. Pay and receive your ticket: After payment, you’ll receive the EasyCityPass as a digital ticket via email.

Alternatively, you can also purchase the EasyCityPass Berlin on your mobile device via the VBB app, the BVG app, and the DB Navigator; in person at ticket machines and customer service centers; or through sales partners such as GetYourGuide, Klook, and the S-Bahn Berlin online store. Please note: These providers have their own booking and cancellation policies.

How soon after purchase can you start using the pass?

Immediately, as soon as the selected start date is reached, there is no mail delivery and no waiting time for a delivery; the ticket is sent directly by email (or dispensed from the ticket machine, or handed over at the counter by customer service center staff).

• If you selected the current date as the start date when you purchased the EasyCityPass, you can use it as soon as you receive it. You don’t need to install an app; the PDF on your smartphone is all you need.
• You also don’t need to validate the online ticket; the start time is already printed on it.
• Only those who purchase the pass as a paper ticket at a ticket machine or at the customer service center need to validate it before using it for the first time.

If you don't receive the email, check your spam folder first; if that doesn't help, contact customer service at info@easycitypass.com.

Who should get the EasyCityPass Berlin, and who shouldn't?

The pass is a good deal if you combine local transit with several partner offers, if you don’t want to worry about public transit tickets every day, and if you’re eager to explore Berlin.

The EasyCityPass Berlin is especially well-suited for weekend travelers with a packed itinerary, for families thanks to free admission for children, and for travelers arriving at BER who want to cover their airport transfer right away.

The benefit comes from the discounts. For example: At the Panoramapunkt, you save 33 percent off the regular ticket price; at Madame Tussauds Berlin, you save 15 percent off the regular admission price; on a Big Bus Tours ticket, you save 25 percent; and at the Renaissance Theater, you also save 25 percent. Usually, taking advantage of just two or three partner offers more than makes up for the slight surcharge. How much you actually save depends on the discount partners and the admission prices you would otherwise pay.

EasyCityPass Light as an alternative with the Deutschlandticket

If you already have a Deutschlandticket, a weekly pass, or a monthly pass, you don’t need another ticket for public transportation. In this case, there’s the Easy CityPass Berlin Light: It includes all partner discounts but no public transit ticket and is available for 7 or 30 days. Berliners themselves can also use it. However, it’s not possible to upgrade from the Light ticket to the classic Easy CityPass.

What You Should Know Before Buying

There are four important points to keep in mind to avoid any surprises with your ticket.

1. The EasyCityPass is personalized and non-transferable. Photo ID may also be required during an inspection.
2. Tickets purchased directly from the online store cannot be canceled or rebooked after purchase; the name, start date, and start time are also fixed. Be sure to check your information before submitting.
3. There are no partial refunds for unused services, not even in the event of local transit strikes.
4. Each discount can be redeemed only once per person and cannot be combined with other coupons. Always present the pass before paying; otherwise, you’ll have to pay the difference between the discounted price and the regular price.

Frequently Asked Questions About the EasyCityPass Berlin

Here you'll find answers to the questions people ask most often before making a purchase.

Do I need a separate ticket?

No. With the standard EasyCityPass Berlin, public transportation is included within the fare zone you’ve booked. Only with the EasyCityPass Berlin Light do you need your own valid public transportation ticket, because that option does not include public transportation access.

Do I need to install an app?

No. You'll receive your ticket via email and can open it directly on your smartphone. If you'd rather not rely on your phone's battery, you can also print out the pass.

Do I need to validate the EasyCityPass?

Online and mobile tickets do not need to be validated; the start time is already printed on the ticket. Only paper tickets purchased from a ticket machine or at the customer service center must be stamped before your first ride or your first visit to a partner location.

Does the pass work even without an internet connection?

Yes. If you've opened or saved your ticket in advance, you can usually show it even when you're offline. It's best to download it to your smartphone before you start your trip.

Can I cancel or change my ticket?

No. Tickets purchased from the EasyCityPass online store cannot be canceled or modified after purchase; this also applies to the name, start date, and start time. If you purchased through GetYourGuide or Klook, the terms and conditions of the respective platform apply.

Can I give my EasyCityPass to someone else?

No. The pass is personal and non-transferable. Every adult who wants to enjoy the benefits needs their own ticket. You can only give it as a gift if you already know the recipient's name and start date at the time of purchase.

How many discounts can I redeem with one pass?

During the validity period, you can take advantage of as many different partner offers as you like, even several in a single day. However, you can redeem the same discount only once per person.

As a Berlin resident, can I use the EasyCityPass?

Yes. If you already have a valid public transit ticket, the EasyCityPass Berlin Light is the right option for you. It lets you take advantage of partner discounts without having to pay for a second public transit ticket.
