A berlin u-bahn map that works with zero signal
Signal disappears the moment you descend into a the U-Bahn station — exactly when you need the map most. CityNav stores all 13 Berlin U-Bahn & S-Bahn lines on your phone in their official colours, with 29+ key stations and their interchanges.
Unlike a static map image, this is a live route planner: pick your start and destination stations and CityNav calculates the journey — fastest route, fewest changes or least walking — entirely offline. Re-plan on the platform when you miss a connection; no bars required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CityNav app work offline in Berlin?
Yes. CityNav pre-loads all 13 Berlin U-Bahn & S-Bahn lines with 29+ key stations and interchanges, so route planning works with no internet connection, no roaming data and nothing to download.
What is the best transit app for tourists in Berlin?
CityNav is built for visitors: offline Berlin U-Bahn & S-Bahn routing, ticket advice (a single ab-zone ticket (€3), AR walking navigation between stations, and an SOS emergency button. Local commuter apps assume knowledge tourists don't have.
Do I need to validate tickets on the Berlin U-Bahn?
Yes — paper tickets must be stamped in the platform validation machines before you board. Berlin has no ticket barriers, but plain-clothes inspections are frequent and the fine is €60 with no tourist exemptions. Tickets bought in the BVG app are validated automatically.
Which Berlin ticket zone do tourists need?
Zone AB covers almost everything — Mitte, Kreuzberg, Charlottenburg, the East Side Gallery. You only need an ABC ticket for BER airport and day trips to Potsdam. A 24-hour AB ticket costs about €10.60 and pays for itself in three rides.
