Dear Customers,

Please note that due to road closures, Stop #4 (Brandenburg Gate) and Stop #5 (Reichstag) on the Red Route cannot be served Monday 13 May - Friday 28 July, 2024.

Big Bus Berlin will stop at Madame Tussauds instead, located at Unter den Linden 74, right in front of the Brandenburg Gate on the eastern side.

Our walking tours are unaffected and will take place as planned, starting at 11.30 (German) and 14.00 (English) in front of Hopfingerbräu Restaurant next to the Brandenburg Gate.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience these service amendments may cause - we thank you for your understanding.
