Getting around!
If you enter Berlin through Zoo Bahnhof (Zoologischer Garten Bahnhof) brace yourself for a let down – it’s not exactly beautiful and you may wonder why you travelled all the way over the northern flat plans (i.e. rear end) of Europe to get here. Just think 30 years ago it looked great (!) having served as the gateway to the glamour and freedom of west Berlin. Don’t despair, you can put your gear in the luggage lockers (1€ to 2 € a day) then either: orientate yourself over breakfast by the real Zoo at the pleasant Schleusenkrug Café on the canal (from 10 am); wander up to the Tourist Office for general information; or jump right into it and join our Famous Insider Walking Tour opposite the Station for a complete introduction straight off the bat – ("Berlin in a nutshell" Lonely Planet).
