City Sightseeing bus + German Spy Museum

With the Hop-on Hop-off tour you will be able to discover this unique city at your own pace without worrying about transportation. You choose where to hop-on and where to hop-off at any of our 24 stops in the city or take the full 2,5 hour bus tour before deciding what you want to see up close.

This tour will take you from West Berlin to East Berlin and back again. You’ll see all the historic neighbourhoods of the German capital and once you see something interesting, you can hop-off and explore the sight. From the Brandenburg Gate to Potsdamer Platz and from the Berlin Zoo to Checkpoint Charlie, you’ll see it all.

Knowledge has always been power, which is why spies have been around as long as human civilisation itself. In ancient Egypt spies were known as “the eyes of the Pharoah”, in Persia King Cyrus referred to them as his many “eyes and ears”, and even General Sun Tzu devoted a whole chapter to spies in his famous “The Art of War”.

During the Cold War, Berlin was where East met West, no where else did the Soviet and NATO powers get into such close contact with each other. This is why Berlin is the best place to learn all about the world of spies. You can visit the German Spy Museum on the former border, the very death strip of the Berlin Wall.

The Hop-on Hop-off tour bus departs every 25 minutes from 24 stops around the city. Because of a cooperation between City Sightseeing Berlin and Top Tour Sightseeing, you can hop on board all the bright red busses driving through the city.

To make the tour even more practical, a shortcut is part of the tour. At the bus stop Rotes Rathaus / Neptunbrunnen you can change to another bus going in the opposite direction. This way you can skip part of the bus tour and arrange your stay according to your interests and needs.
