What are the best tips to save money when travelling in Berlin, Munich and various parts of Germany? There are many good ideas, like dining in Turkish cafes, using public buses, set up supplies at a local bakery, and surfing the web to search for rental apartments at affordable prices. Here are specific tips for the trip to Berlin.
1. Public bus number 100 is the most common vehicle right to the streets at the sight. The route started from Alexanderplatz along Unter den Linden to the Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten with many attractions along the way. Travel time is 26 minutes.
2. Save for the holidays. The street around the Christmas market is a free entertainment. Gluewein in the Christmas market is usually worth one euro per cup. You can get drunk with cheap wine, but be careful not to fall into Spandau with bag full of Christmas balls.
3. All tickets for public transport are also well used to enjoy the journey with several ferry runs BVG, Berlin’s Transit Authority. You will sail for free for 20 minutes across Lake Wannsee S-Bahn station to the other side of the Wannsee Lake, where you can use the bus express to return to the centre of town.
4. Preparing supplies from the store. Galleria department store on Alexanderplatz (Berlin) has a fantastic food department on the ground floor, many things right for a picnic or a stock of food in the apartment, and plenty of souvenirs (chocolate, mustard, etc.), it is cheaper than you pay in the food department Ka De We.
5. Eat in local people eat. In Berlin, if you happened to be in Wannsee, stop at Lorretta am Wannsee. This place is near S-Bahn station, on the corner of Potsdamer Chaussee’s Biergarten and you can get a brat, potato salad, wine, beer, and even a crepe for dessert mouth with a very reasonable price.
6. Understand and use the taxi system. For the price of a taxi in Berlin (and also in some other cities), if you walk under a 2 km distance you can ask for a short trip rate (Kurzstrecke). You must stop the taxi asking price before. Taxis can be cheaper than public transport, depending on where you want to and the number of people in the group.
