Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs from major banks like Deutsche Bank or Commerzbank for better rates; avoid the exchange bureaux at Berlin airports or tourist hotspots as they give poor rates.
Contactless Visa/Mastercard and mobile pay are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; smaller cafes and bakeries sometimes only take cash, so carry €20–€50.
Round up to the nearest euro or leave 5–10% in restaurants; taxi drivers get the next euro; hotel porters €1–2 per bag—no pressure.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Filter coffee or espresso at a neighbourhood café — around €2.00–€2.50.
A döner kebab or falafel wrap from a takeaway — about €4.50–€6.00.
Pizza or a simple pasta dish at an Italian trattoria — a main course around €8–€11.
The area around Frankfurter Allee and Simon-Dach-Straße has clusters of döner, currywurst, and pizza places; the box hala markets in Friedrichshain on Sundays also have cheap food stalls.
Aldi, Lidl, Netto — all within a short walk; Edeka for slightly wider range.
Primark on Frankfurter Allee for basics; second-hand shops around Boxhagener Platz (Flohmarkt) on Sundays.
A single-ticket (€3.80) covers U-Bahn, tram, and bus within zone AB; the day pass is €9.90 — the cheapest way to get around. From BER airport take the RE7/RB14 regional train to Ostkreuz (about €4.00 single), not the more expensive FEX or S-Bahn specials.
Buy a Berlin Welcome Card for free public transport and museum discounts if you're staying 2+ days; shop at ALDI or Lidl for drinks and snacks to keep costs down; eat at lunchtime when many restaurants offer cheaper lunch menus (Mittagstisch).
