Explore BERLIN’S Best Kept Secrets and Navigate its Transport System Easily?

USo, in this video, I’m going to show you how 
to get the tram tickets, Uban & the bus tickets, and I did purchase a 24-hour ticket, and also 
you can purchase paper tickets here as shown. And there is an app called the BVG app, 
which I’ll go through at the end. And look, you see here, you can select English,French, 
Spanish,Polish at the train station menu and select your 24-hour ticket 
or single journey ticket. Now, I do suggest you pick the 24-hour ticket 
. There is a number of different language options, French, Spanish, German, and so 
forth. So here’s how to use the machine. So as you see here, you just select the language 
option, then you select 24-hour ticket. It’s €10.60 Now, on the phone app, the Berlin BVG app 
is a small bit cheaper, but if you want a single ticket here, you’ll see it cost euro 4.70. So, 
it’s better to get the 24-hour ticket as it lasts longer. You can travel on buses, trams, the Uban 
and such. So, a better option, I do think. Also, you’ll see it covers the airport here, which 
is also a good option. Also, it does cover the airport from Berlin Central to Bandenburg airport 
if you get the AB C zone ticket. And a good option 24-hour ticket that is you can pay by cash and 
card as you can see. But if you have your phone, you already have the ticket scannable 
barcode. Anybody ask you to see the ticket, you have it there. And look, all these trams are 
marked with U sign, the destination that you’re at. We go along here in Berlin. We’re going to 
show you some cool sites like the Bandenberg Gate, a concentration camp outside Berlin, a good sites, 
a sad site, but we’re going to go through some of them and how you get to them and how to see. 
You will see at each bus stop a number and it allocates to the bus and it has a timetable also 
and you can see here a map of the stops. Now I do suggest you use Google map which is a good 
one to use and it’ll tell you what number bus here’s on board the bus and you can see it tells 
you the next stops and where you may need to get off. See the bus is here in Berlin has kind of 
a triple carriage style and there is comfortable seating. There’s USB charge points on board at 
some of the some of the seating. So, very handy. Just to note, your 24-hour ticket can be 
used on the overground tram as well as the underground system. So, it is valid for the 
AB zone. See here that the tram system does have the location the tram is going and also 
Google map is handy to get to your destination. Now, also the underground station says where 
your position is and where the tram goes to. This is the U6 line. I have to say it’s not hard 
to navigate the system here in Berlin. You get used to it after a while. So, nothing really to 
fear here. You can see our location here and this is in central Berlin. And that’s the station. 
You’ll see it marked with a blue symbol U5 line U6. Not very hard to navigate. After a while, you 
get used to it. See one of the sites here. The Brandenburg gate. Madam Tu Sources wax work museum 
is a great site to see if you’re interested in wax works not for me. And one could not leave Berlin 
without trying the Brockhurst and the fries curry and ketchup sauce. Absolutely delicious with 
mayonnaise. And here’s the Brandenburg gate. Brandenburgg monument is an 18th century 
neocclassical monument and it did mark the start of Berlin. Anyways, the 300 bus is the 
bus to get here. Also at the Brandenburg gate, there’s an information site should you wish and 
need more information about the sites around Berlin. Here the sign for the Berlin card and 
it does get you into some of the monuments and sites for discounted price. I don’t think it’s 
a necessityas most sites are free to visit. You can get around by public transport as I shown 
here. Right at Bandenberg here is the 300 bus which will bring you to the Berlin Wall in East 
Germany. And we’re on the bus there now. I’m going to take the tour to East Germany. Well, 
not a tour, the public bus, but nonetheless, great sites to be seen. Here we’ll see the radio 
tower just ahead, which is another famous site in Berlin near Checkpoint Charlie. And you see 
Museum Island in Berlin ahead. It’s a unique assemble of buildings Museums at spree island in 
the heart of Berlin. encompass five large Berlin museums built under the Persian rulers. We’ll 
leave the German name here for the island in the description as you see here. And also the 300 
bus does cover this from the Brandenburg gate, but also like I said, Google map is absolutely 
brilliant. It will show you the stops, what buses to get and such. So do use it. And here you’ll see 
the stop coming up for Museum Island, also known Museum Island is a new UNESCO World Heritage 
site. Such is the splendor and marvel of the paintings and artwork in these museums. And 
we see the lovely museums again as we pass on through Museum Island on our way to the Berlin 
Wall again on the 300 bus. Keep repeating it, but it’s handy to know. Get it into your 
head. the 300 bus. Now, also on the bus, you just show your driver the your 24-hour ticket 
or your single ticket on your phone as it may be, and you board the bus or there is also a point 
where you can insert your paper ticket to be checked and verified and on board the bus you go. 
Now, this is just inside the entrance of the bus. Berlin Cathedral is also another brilliant place 
to see. We didn’t get to see it on this visit, but just to note, it’s meant to be marvelous inside. 
We didn’t have a chance. We weren’t here too long, but here you’ll see the beautiful murals as we 
pass on by towards the Berlin Wall. And here we arrive at the Berlin Wall. Now, this is but 
a stone throw say 2 to 3 minutes from Berlin Central Station. So, we’re going to get off now 
and have a proper look at the wall. You’ll see the stop for the 300 bus is Rummelsburgger 
East Berlin Mall on the 300 bus as I said and the primary intention for the construction 
of the Berlin wall was to prevent East German citizens from fleeing to the west at the time 
World War II and the end of the cold war. But look, you can see the beautiful murals that are in 
place today. Guard towers used to be dotted along the wall to stop people from fleeing. But you can 
see the history here with the scannal barcodes. You can see the artist and such a beautiful river 
and lakes park surrounding it. So a great place to see of historical significance. And a good 
place of historic significance to see is the concentration camp in Berlin and it’s in Orinberg 
as I displayed here in the description. And we’re going to take the train there now and show you 
around. Great place for history, but a sad place nonetheless. There marvelous views on the train to 
Orinberg. Then you get the bus and it’s around uh I’d say 10 minutes bus journey bus right outside 
the station and you can visit the concentration camp for free. It’s absolutely a hidden gem. Great 
place to see around an hour away from Berlin, but just something extra to see if you’re in 
Berlin. And Berlin is a super city to visit. Not over populated with tourists, not overpacked. 
And the people I found are super friendly. This is the stop you get right outside the 
train station. The central station is the 142 at Oranienburg. So that’s the bus you can 
get. And I’ll leave the description of the concentration camp if you should should wish to 
visit below. So we’re here at the concentration camp. I think I’ll leave the description 
below. Located on the outskirts of Berlin and serves as an inaugural camp specifically 
designed under direction of Henrik Himmler. This site was originally established to 
confine foes of the Nazis. Up to around 200,000 people endured imprisonment there facing 
systematic torture, starvation, enforced labor, and some of the most horrific living conditions 
imaginable. And we’re going to take a tour around here now and show you. It’s around an hour 
away from Berlin. So, a little gem to visit, but sad history behind it, I’m sure. This just the 
layout of the concentration camp of the museum of the anti-fascist freedom struggle of the European 
people. There is a handy map and also you can get an audio guide inside and you can see the 
different numbers and what the sites meant and what they are like the prison barracks, kitchens 
and so forth. It goes through a array of different history of the concentration camp and its horrors. 
Here you’ll see the gates where the prisoners were walked down Camp street and are walked for nearly 
over a mile into the concentration camp in rain, hail, snow, and snow. Dire Winter conditions. 
You can get a guided tour. I think it’s €90, but it has to be booked in kind of a group and you 
have to book in advance. So, just extra to note, we’ll see one of the prisons where the prisoners were housed. We’re going 
to take a look inside now. The concentration camp was built in the 
summer of 1936 as a model and training camp. Tens of thousands of more than 200,000 prisoners 
interered died as a result of hunger, disease, and forced labor. Here you’ll see some of the prison 
cells. It displays some of the history of the prisoners that were kept here in dire conditions. 
And it is a pretty sad place. You’ll see the beds, the sleeping quarters. You’ll see where they 
had to wash coming up later. Such a sad place. You’ll see some of the chains that the prisoners 
had around their legs as they were forced to do labor, manual forced labor. Here you see the 
sleeping quarters with the beds that the prisoners had to sleep on. Dire conditions. The mattress 
deplorable, but that was harsh conditions. People had to live here. You see a pole where the 
prisoners were hung from from their feet and executed, tortured and such. Some of the pictures 
from the museum. It goes through the history of the concentration camp and all the atrocities 
that happened here. You’ll see a picture of the prisoners digging their own grave that they didn’t 
even know. If you read her, you’ll see when the Polish solder arrived and states the prisoners 
looked frightened, deadly pale, bloodless with transparent faces, skin and bone. Imagine the joy 
they felt when they saw the Polish soldiers coming to rescue them. And here’s memorial to remember 
and it’s remembered the prisoners that died here. They were exterme to say the least. And here you 
see in the barracks where the prisoners used to wash. Up to 400 men had to squeeze into this 
barracks at one time and if they washed their feet they were severely beaten. Here you see 
the striped pajamas the prisoners were forced to wear. Very light material. You can imagine 
in the dead of winter how cold these would be. So, I got the 10 BVG ticket on my phone app and 
it lasts for 24 hours and it’s a great ticket. You can use the bus, you can use the rail as 
you seen and it’s pretty handy. You can go all over the place from the Bandenberg gate. 
I got the 300 bus all the way to East Berlin Wall as you saw. Absolutely amazing. Recommend 
this ticket. You can do things at your leisure and it is I suppose cheaper and more cost 
effective than the red tour bus and also uh tour to the concentration camp a little extra 
from Berlin centra. I thought that was pretty uh unique the camp but you can organize you can 
get an organized day trip to the concentration camp here in Berlin, if you wish but a much more 
hefty price also very historic very sad place for the Jews and polish slaves. So there you go.
