Whether you are an avid traveler or relatively new to most parts of the world, you will likely know that most ‘tourist activities’ can often be a load of crap. I figured a blog post about The Berlin Welcome Card was absolutely needed because I tend to stay away from traveler packages as I always seem to find my way around for a much cheaper price.

Berlin Welcome Card

Is it worth it? 

The entire point of this blog is to admit that I was wrong. I am so glad I had the opportunity to use the Berlin Welcome Card or I would have never been able to visit all the different destinations I did in less than 4 days!

The first time I visited Berlin, I purchase a Berlin 48 hour pass. The second time I visited Berlin, I received a Berlin 72 hour pass. If it is your first time in Berlin and you’re not sure which welcome card to purchase, I would say go with the basic Berlin 48 or 72 hour pass as you will be more than busy upon arrival. If you believe you’ve seen and done it all, splurge and purchase the Potsdam included Welcome Card.

This card is a travelers bible while in Berlin! Don’t forget to purchase yours before you go!
