Berlin: EasyCityPass Zone ABC Transportation and Discounts
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by CoConsult GmbH · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Unlimited transit makes Berlin feel easy. With the EasyCityPass in Zone ABC, you can hop around the city and nearby Potsdam without doing the math every time you ride.
What I love most is the combo of unlimited public transport and discounts that can actually lower the cost of your must-dos—some partners include Big Bus Berlin and THE WALL MUSEUM. I also like that you’re not stuck hunting for a ticket office: your pass arrives by email, with no voucher exchange or QR-code step needed.
One thing to keep in mind: the pass works on most regular transit, but it does not cover special ÖPNV lines, so you’ll want to plan your routes using the normal S-Bahn/subway/bus/tram/regular regional trains.

Zone ABC and why it matters more than you think

When people say Berlin is easy to get around, they usually mean the city center. What matters with this pass is that you’re not limited to a tiny slice of the map.
With Zone ABC, you get public transport coverage across Berlin and into the surrounding Brandenburg area—explicitly including BER airport and the city of Potsdam. That one detail changes how you travel.
If you’re staying in Berlin, it means you can still take the train out to Potsdam without buying a separate ticket and then realizing you should have done that earlier. If you’re staying in Potsdam, it means Berlin stops being a half-day detour. You can go for a full day, come back, and not feel punished each time you tap your ticket.
And because the pass works on multiple transit types (not just one line), you can ride based on where you are, not based on where you planned to be three days ago.

Unlimited rides: using S-Bahn, subway, bus, tram, and regional trains

The pass isn’t “a discount card that sometimes helps.” It’s also your daily transport ticket.
For the duration of your valid pass (choose 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days), you can use public transportation in Zone ABC with no ride-by-ride extra charges. That includes the S-Bahn, subway, bus, tram, and regional train service. Special public transport lines (ÖPNV) are the one notable exclusion.
This is huge for itinerary flexibility. Berlin day plans often shift because of weather, energy levels, queues, or how long you actually want to spend somewhere. With unlimited transit, you can pivot.
Practical tip: build your day around neighborhoods you can reach using the main transit network, then move on when you feel done. With this pass, leaving early doesn’t cost you extra.
Discount partners: where your EasyCityPass money can disappear (or save you)

The best part of a city pass is when it turns sightseeing into a predictable budget. The EasyCityPass is built for that.
You get discounts at a long list of partners (subject to change). The big-picture promise is that you can save up to 50% at many Berlin sights. You’ll also see specific discounts called out for places like Big Bus Berlin and THE WALL MUSEUM.
Here’s how I’d think about using those discounts so you don’t just collect them and forget. Don’t treat it like a coupon folder. Treat it like a menu.
If you want classic sightseeing:
- Big Bus Berlin
- Original Berlin Walks
- Trabi World
- Star and Circle Cruise
If you want museums and hands-on attractions:
- DDR Museum
- Illuseum Berlin
- BODY WORLDS
- SEA LIFE Berlin
- Little BIG City Berlin
- Madame Tussauds
- Berlin Dungeon
- DDR Museum and other museum-style stops on the list
If you want stage shows and indoor attractions:
- Friedrichstadt Palast Berlin
If you want viewpoints and specific experiences tied to Berlin locations:
- Panoramapunkt at Potsdamer Platz
If you’re mixing in food, drinks, and casual stops (so the day doesn’t feel like a nonstop march):
- Berlin Coffee Roastery
- Witty’s Berlin – organic currywurst
- Hard Rock Cafe
- House of Gin
- Designer Depot (shopping)
- The WOW! Gallery Berlin and Studio of Wonders (more experience-type stops)
The key value here is not that every discount is huge. It’s that you can combine several discounted stops into one day without second-guessing each purchase.
And because new partners are regularly added (the overview is kept up to date), you can check the current list before you lock in your schedule.
A realistic 2–6 day way to plan your Berlin + Potsdam rhythm

This pass is self-guided, so the “itinerary” is really your system. I like using the following approach because it plays to the unlimited transit.
Day type 1: Berlin classics + a big-ticket stop
On your first day, I’d aim for one “headline” activity that you don’t want to gamble on. If you’re into guided sightseeing, using a discount like Big Bus Berlin or Original Berlin Walks can help you get bearings fast using the transit coverage you already have.
Then add one museum-style or indoor experience so you can keep moving even if you hit rain or fatigue. Examples from the partner list include Berlin Dungeon, DDR Museum, Illuseum Berlin, SEA LIFE Berlin, or Madame Tussauds.
Why this works: Day one gives you structure. Unlimited transit lets you adjust without turning every change into a new ticket purchase problem.
Day type 2: Potsdam day without the stress tax
Because Zone ABC includes Potsdam, you can schedule a real day trip without feeling like you’re constantly checking fare rules.
For Potsdam-linked options on the partner list, you have at least one named option: Sanssouci Express Tour and the Panoramapunkt at Potsdamer Platz is Berlin-side but close enough to Berlin-Potsdam routing that it can fit nicely depending on where you’re staying.
Why this works: With this pass, the “distance problem” disappears. You’re free to wander and still come out ahead.
Day type 3: Mix an experience + a food stop + an evening plan
After two days, you’ll likely have a sense of what you actually enjoy: guided walks, museums, viewpoints, or experience-style attractions.
This is a great moment to stack one discount-heavy activity with something low-pressure for eating. Partner options that fit that role include:
- Witty’s Berlin – organic currywurst
- Berlin Coffee Roastery
- Hard Rock Cafe
- House of Gin
Then plan one evening activity that fits your vibe. The pass includes discounts for nightlife and events, so you’re not forced into a single type of outing.
Day type 4–6: Go deeper where you already like being
If you have 4 to 6 days, you’ll get better value by returning to areas you liked after your first couple of days. You can also rotate between different types of partners—walking tours one day, museum/indoor the next, then a cruise-style option when you want a change of pace.
The pass doesn’t restrict you to a “must-hit list.” It lets you repeat what works.
Family travel: up to 3 kids free, plus the dog and stroller rules

If you’re traveling with kids, this pass gets practical quickly.
The pass variants are valid for 1 adult and up to 3 children aged 6–14 years at no extra charge per ticket. It also includes children under 6, plus a buggy, luggage, and 1 dog.
That’s a lot of small stress removed in one move. In real terms, it can turn Berlin into an easier family trip because you’re not doing separate ticket calculations for every ride.
Also, wheelchair access is supported, which matters for planning if you’re using mobility aids.
One note: the pass is not transferable, so make sure the ticket holder details match how you’ll use the pass.
Price and value: why $32 can be a bargain or a miss

The price listed here is $32 per person, with durations from 2 to 6 days depending on what you pick. Whether it’s a bargain depends on how you ride and what you plan to discount.
Here’s how I’d judge value without guesswork:
- If you’ll take public transport often (and you will in Berlin), unlimited rides can quickly replace multiple single trips.
- If you’re planning several paid attractions, the discount partners are what can turn the pass into a net win.
- If you only plan to visit one or two discounted places and otherwise keep your transit use light, you might not get full value.
I also like the $ value logic because of what this pass includes: airport and Potsdam coverage. That can be the difference between paying extra for a day trip versus rolling it into your core transit plan.
The rating of 4.8 (with 116 reviews) lines up with what you’d expect from a pass that’s easy to use. The strongest positive theme is simple: people like the convenience of moving across the city without friction, and the idea that it’s cost-effective when you’re based near Potsdam and hopping into Berlin regularly.
Getting your pass by email (and skipping the usual headache)

This one is refreshingly low drama.
There’s no meeting point. You get your pass by email (and you don’t need to exchange a voucher or use a GetYourGuide QR code step). Your EasyCityPass Berlin ABC is sent about 24 hours before your booked date.
If you see extra instructions about QR codes or exchanges, you can ignore that and focus on the email delivery you receive close to your start date.
Practical tip: make sure you can access your email around the time your pass is scheduled to arrive. If your email account is hard to reach while traveling, this is one place where that matters.
Things the pass does not cover (so you don’t get surprised)

A few limits are worth knowing upfront, even though they’re not show-stoppers.
- Special ÖPNV lines are not included. Most regular S-Bahn/subway/bus/tram/regional trains are covered, but if you’re looking at a specialized route, check before you commit.
- Discount partners can change. The partner list is updated on the EasyCityPass website, so check it when you’re planning, not a week after.
- The pass isn’t transferable. It’s tied to the ticket rules.
If you treat the pass as: unlimited transit + discounts from a changing partner list, you’ll be happy with it.
Who should book the EasyCityPass Berlin ABC?

This pass is a strong fit if:
- You want to move around Berlin and Potsdam without buying separate transport tickets
- You plan to do multiple paid attractions, tours, or experience-type stops
- You’re traveling with kids and want the free children + stroller + dog rules
- You value schedule flexibility more than a fixed tour itinerary
It might not be the best fit if:
- You’re mostly staying in one area and using transit rarely
- You only plan to visit one or two paid places total
Should you book it?
I’d book this if your Berlin plan involves real riding and at least a few paid attractions or tours. The Zone ABC coverage (including BER airport and Potsdam) plus the unlimited transit is the core value, and the discounts are the bonus that can shave real money off your days.
It’s also a smart choice for families because the ticket rules are clear and include more than just kids. Between the unlimited transport and the partner discounts that can reach up to 50%, you’re set up to save without turning your trip into a spreadsheet.
