Frequently Asked Questions — Getting Around Berlin

What is the difference between the Berlin U-Bahn and S-Bahn?

The U-Bahn (underground, operated by BVG) runs mostly within the city centre. The S-Bahn (overground rapid rail) covers a wider area including Hauptbahnhof and BER Airport. A single AB zone ticket covers both networks for all tourist sights.

Does a single Berlin ticket cover U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams and buses?

Yes — a standard AB zone ticket covers all BVG services (U-Bahn, trams, buses) and S-Bahn trains within zones A and B. Zone C adds Potsdam and Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER).

How long does the S-Bahn from Berlin Airport take to the city centre?

The S9 connects BER airport to Hauptbahnhof and Alexanderplatz in approximately 30–40 minutes. Trains run every 20 minutes. An AB+C zone ticket or the Berlin WelcomeCard covers this journey.
