Getting around in Berlin

Trains, bikes, und mehr!

Being relatively large and spread out, Berlin has a lot of options when it comes to getting around the city while learning German here! A popular option is the U-Bahn, with its plentiful and clearly-marked stops and well-connected lines (you can even download an offline u-bahn map to your smartphone to help route you between destinations!).

For a scenic overground experience, there are also several tram lines that run through a large part of Berlin (also helpful for getting around Prenzlauer Berg, the neighbourhood of the GLS German Language School).

Berlin also presents a variety of two-wheeled options:

Segway tours can take you all across the city.

Zip around in style on a vintage moped.

Rent or purchase a bicycle for efficient transport—but as a pedestrian, take care to avoid walking in bike lanes!

Sign up for a car sharing service…

… or take one of Berlin’s reasonably-priced taxis.

Cruise the Spree in style on a boat.

Or explore the city by foot, a great option to take in as much of Berlin’s ambiance as possible. However you choose to do it, Berlin has endless sights to take in!
