Berlin has a very well-developed public transport network (BVG). From Saturdays to Sundays, all underground (U-Bahn) and suburban (S-Bahn) trains, as well as many trams and buses, run all night. If you don’t have a BVG season ticket or Deutschlandticket, we recommend you buy a 24-hour AB ticket for 10.60 euros. It’s valid for one adult and up to three children aged 6 to 14; younger children travel for free. Taking a bicycle with you costs an additional 5.70 euros.
Four bus shuttles will take you to museums outside Berlin-Mitte during the Long Night. There will also be a short shuttle from Treptower Park S-Bahn station to the Archenhold Observatory. You can find the routes, stops and journey times here.
