Out and about on the Long Night of Museums

Berlin has a very well-developed local transport network (BVG). From Saturdays to Sundays, all underground (U-Bahn) and suburban (S-Bahn) trains run throughout the night.

If you don’t have a VBB travel pass or Deutschlandticket, we recommend you buy a 24-hour ticket for tariff zone AB for 9.90 euros. It’s valid for one adult and up to three children aged 6 to 14; younger children travel for free.
The carriage of a bicycle costs an additional 5.50 euros.

Would you like to be dropped off directly in front of a museum in Charlottenburg, in Lichtenberg or in the deep south of Berlin? Would you like to experience a vintage bus trip with your friends or children just like in the good old days? Then hop on our buses! The north and south shuttle routes will be serviced with BVG buses from the 50s to 80s that have been restored to how they were by the enthusiasts’ association Arbeitsgemeinschaft Traditionsbus Berlin.

The shuttle lines, stops and journey times can be found here.
