It is related to all (formerly) uncommercial traveller websites; all these websites have a strong focus on the community between the members and aim to make real life meetings between persons that got to know in virtual reality. Global Freeloaders, Hospitality Club, Couchsurfing, BeWelcome. The Couchwiki is also connected to hitch-hiking Hitchbase and HitchWiki. The Wiki inside Couchsurfing is disabled, but other Wikis are still working Hospitality Club, BeWelcome.

General information

Berlin is the capital of Germany. Berlin has a population of around 3,5 million people. It is estimated that annually 100 million people visit Berlin, of which roughly 10 million stay in a hotel, hostel, guesthouse, etc. Tourism is one of the pillars of the economy of the city.

Berlin has a relatively high unemployment rate. Around 12% of the people in Berlin is officially unemployed and almost 19% of the Berliner lives on social security benefits.

Berlin's Couch Situation

To find the right host for you, please look on Couchsurfing or BeWelcome

Berlin is a major Couchsurfing and BeWelcome city where there are events happening almost every day. Berlin is a favourite city to surf, especially around New Year's Eve and in summer. Since many people try to surf in Berlin, it can be hard to find a host. Make sure you have a filled out profile and a profile picture. Write personal requests. Hosts in Berlin are getting many copy-paste requests, so a personal one could make a difference. It's recommended to write your requests between 3 weeks and 5 days before arrival. Your chances increase if you have some references (from your local community, for example).

If you haven't found any host and still want to surf in Berlin, you can try the Last Minute Couchsearch Group or the Berlin Emergency Host Group in BeWelcome

Stay in Berlin

Berlin Hostels and Guesthouses

Hostels cost of €5 to €65 a night, depending on the season, location and type of room.

Once you have found a place to live, and you're planning to stay in Berlin for a long period, it might be wise to register yourself at the Bürgeramt as an inhabitant of the city.

Getting Around

U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines of the inner city of Berlin, as of February 2013

Public transportation generally goes almost everywhere in whole Berlin. Read more and plan a journey at the BVG Website.

From Airport to City

For the time being, Berlin has 2 major airports, 'Tegel' in the northwest and 'Schönefeld' in the southeast.

S-Bahn

Schönefeld Airport is directly connected with S-Bahn. Line S9 connects the airport with the eastern and northern part of the city. Line S45 connects the airport with the southern part of the inner-city. Both lines pass stations located on the S-Bahn circular railway (Ringbahn), which makes it easy to travel to other parts of the city, changing trains just once.

Bus

Tegel Airport is accessible by bus. There are 2 shuttle buses: X9 between Tegel and 'S+U Zoologischer Garten' (western Berlin); TXL between Tegel and 'S+U Alexanderplatz' (eastern Berlin). There are also 2 normal bus lines: 128 in the direction of 'U Osloer Straße' and 109 in the direction of 'S+U Zoologischer Garten'.

Taxi

Expected price for a taxi-ride from/to the airport is between €20,00 and €35,00.

Underground/ U-Bahn

The subway/underground in Berlin is called the U-Bahn. The U-Bahn is efficient and reliable and it covers the major areas of the city.

Most U-Bahn trains drive frequent, every 5 or 10 minutes. In the late evening and night the frequency can be reduced to one train every 15 or 20 minutes. Except for Friday- and Saturday night, the U-Bahn stops working after approximately 1:00h. All lines are then replaced by night buses, which drive every 30 minutes and follow the same route as the U-Bahn (some minor exceptions).

Buses

Buses normally drive in the 'gaps' of the U- and S-Bahn net. Most people only take buses if they have to go to area's that are on the outskirts of town. The exceptions are bus lines 100 and 200. These bus lines are well known for the touristic route they are following. It crosses several points of interest, and therefore used by many tourists as a cheap alternative for the sightseeing buses.

Tram (Straßenbahn/Metro)

The tram in Berlin is called Straßenbahn (street train), or sometimes Metro. The tram network especially is big in the eastern part of town. The trams drive in the 'gaps' of the U- and S-Bahn net, while crossing many of their stations on the way.

Taxi

There are fixed prices for taxi's in Berlin. There's no difference between day- and night prices. The prices are calculated as follows:

  • Basic price: €3,20
  • Per kilometre (first 7): €1,65
  • Per kilometre (after 7): €1,28

You'll pay additional if:

  • you're travelling more than 4 persons: €1,50 per extra person
  • the taxi has to wait for you: €25,00 per hour
  • you have big luggage: €1,00
  • you are paying with credit card: €1,50
  • you are coming from Tegel Airport: €0,50

The common taxi companies:

Bicycle

If you're lucky, you can borrow a bike for free through BikeSurfBerlin and BikeSurfBerlin Group in Bewelcome.

Important information on transportation

  • Some of the tickets has to be validated before use. If you forget, the fine is 40 Euro.
  • Except for friday and saturdaynight, all S-Bahn trains stop driving after approximately 1 o'clock
  • Except for friday and saturdaynight, all U-Bahn trains are replaced by night buses (U1->N1; U2->N2; etc.)
  • At some stations, people are selling tickets. Although they don't all look that bonafide, they resell tickets other people used. They should be still valid. If you are planning to buy those tickets, check if they are still valid. Also, it's officially forbidden to resell tickets, so you might be involved in a small crime by doing it.

Travelling from Berlin

Apart from the 2 airports, several (international) trains and busses arrive at and leave from Berlin.

Most international trains arrive at and depart from Berlin Hauptbahnhof (main railway station).

  • to Poland (Berlin-Warsaw/Gdansk/Wrocław Główny)
  • to Switzerland (Berlin-Basel)
  • to Denmark (Berlin-Copenhagen/Arhus)
  • to the Czech Republic (Berlin-Prague)

To find the best connections, or for booking tickets, you can check out the website of the [German Railway]. Booking tickets on forehand can make a huge difference in price.

(inter)regional trains depart from every major station, such as Alexanderplatz, Ostbahnhof, Spandau and Sudkreuz. There's a difference between regional trains (RB (Regionalbahn) andRE (Regionalexpress)) and inter-regional trains (IC (Intercity) and ICE (Intercity Express)). The IC's and ICE's drive much faster and over a long distance, mostly to other big cities in Germany. The RB and RE only drive short distances and stop at many smaller stations on the way.

Schedule an appointment ahead of time http://www.berlin.de/labo/auslaender/dienststelle/index.html The wait times are not THAT bad, but it's always best to have an appointment.

They REALLY don't speak English consistently so just be prepared :) Bring someone with you if at all possible. Have everything you need when you go. I talked with many people there and they don't assign you to one person. They don't answer emails for nearly 1 month so don't bother there. You can call and ask questions, but have someone call for you and speak German and then you might get answers.

Freelance VISA and Artist VISA

(This is written from a US citizen. Different rules may apply to you, although they may be similar).

These are 2 different things. I obtained my Artist's visa while I was waiting for my Freelance visa to be approved (this will take 6-10 weeks). The Artist's visa does NOT allow you to work. The Freelance one does (you can list more than one profession on this visa).

List of things that you need

  • Completed Form (http://www.berlin.de/formularserver/formular.php?72301)
  • Letter stating your intentions, how you plan to support yourself, everthing you can think of
  • CV
  • Passport Copy
  • 2 Biometric Photo (not smiling... these can be done in the bottom level of the office... leave an extra 10 minutes for this).
  • Bank Statement (proving that you can support yourself without working)
  • All Certificates
  • All Diplomas
  • All Transcripts
  • Health Insurance (GERMAN) Proof and all documents
  • German Address Registration (do NOT show up without this. You will be turned away. You must register your address)
  • References
  • €50 in cash (sometimes this is more)
  • Artist portfolio (this must be hard copies of your work)
  • Letter from 2 prospective employers (I fought this, but it's technically required and you should have it)

Registering in Germany/Berlin - Bürgeramt

Registering your address Fill out page 3 of this form and then go to register.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/1RBnLXCEqJ-le6hyQSsyvQ2_0u7Uo7tF-tG4lUc76EPDL6r-8O6ipxGPkZt2-/edit

You must register your address within 2 weeks of coming to Germany and before you can do anything really. You need to either have a rental agreement or have the main renter to sign the paper or write a letter for you.

These are all the places you can go to register. http://www.buergeramt.info/berlin.htm

Give yourself a couple hours to do this. (it is my understanding that you now need an appointment to do this. Please check)


Health insurance

This is a biggie. They need proof that you have GOOD GERMAN health insurance. It's very expensive. Be prepared (especially if you have to pay for it on your own).

I myself have AOK insurance and I am very happy with it http://www.deutscheinsurance.com/aok.html (They also off a travel insurance that will cover you worldwide, outside of the EU for only €6 per year).

Someone also mentioned this and it might be a little cheaper http://www.hansemerkur.de/

If you want to apply to KSK (you must be an Artist legally here, they will help you with the price of your insurance, but there are a LOT of rules you must follow), you can contact this woman.

SIM Cards

(this information was gathered from forums)

  • http://www.callmobile.de/
  • http://www.fonic.de
  • http://www.blau.de
  • You can get great deals on SIM's at any Saturn store. They have T-Mobile SIM cards for only 5 euro and they come with 10 euro worth of call minutes for free.
  • some Turkish phone shops, they sell Vodafone cards with credit for half-price (usually a card with 10 EUR credit for about 6 EUR, and one with 1 EUR credit for 60 cents), and what's best these are pre-activated and work right away, no need to fill out any stupid forms online.
  • new SIM. For instance if you take an O2 one for 28.50E, you get 21E credit plus two months of freecalls to O2 (has a good subscrirption in Germany) numbers and to any landline. I think it is a great offer but something that you cannot renew; just comes with the new number.
  • Aldi or Penny (yes, the discount stores) have easy prepaid cards for 15euro or something with the same amount of credit on it so you basically pay nothing for it. I don't know if they offer data as well, but the Aldi card uses ePlus networks so you can also charge your credit with ePlus prepaid cards if there is no Aldi around to buy new credit. adli 300mb 300 minutes = less 10 euro ;)


Bank account

(There are many opinions on this. Please add yours)


Berliner Sparkasse

So email the guy below to make an appointment. (speaks english and helped me and many other CS) ... They also have a nice referral program. If you open an account and have the referring person sign the paper, they get €25. I like to send people there and then take them out to lunch on Sparkasse :) :)

Here is the contact. The guy is great and he's signed a lot of my friends and I up.

Friedrichstrasse 148, 10117 Berlin

STOP: Stadmitte or Friedrichstrasse MAP: http://g.co/maps/93gyu]http://g.co/maps/93gyu

You need to bring proof of your address registration and your passport. That was it.


Sparda Bank

Another interesting option for people who plan to stay in germany long term and have a regular income could be Sparda Bank. It is a credit union and upon opening an account you will be required to buy a cooperative share of 50EUR. other than that, you will never have to pay anything again for the rest of your life.
