Travel in Berlin
Berlin's city centers are compact and many of the major sights and venues there can be accessed easily enough on foot.
Even so, a traveller can make use of the excellent bus, tram, train and underground services to get around.
Taxi services are also easy to use and a bit less expensive than in many other big Central European cities.
You can hail a cab (the yellow light on the top shows the cab is free), or find a taxi rank (Taxistand).
Taxi drivers are in general able to speak English.
In 2005 the BVG introduced Metro lines (buses and tram) that run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All lines are marked with a big orange plate and a white M.
