City Sightseeing bus + Little BIG City Berlin

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.

At the bottom of the TV Tower, you’ll find a captivating place where 750 years of Berlin history is brought to life with the help of miniatures and special effects. At Little BIG City, 100 buildings have been reconstructed in miniature which tell the story of Berlin from the middle ages to the present day.

With the help of 30 projectors, you can witness the pioneering innovations of the Industrial Revolution, the decadence of the Golden Twenties of the Weimar Republic, the burning of the Reichstag and the building of the Berlin Wall. 15 holograms tell the personal stories of people who lived during these periods Berlin’s history.

By manipulating 50 buttons, pedals and games you can take part in history and interact with the over 6000 residents of miniature Berlin. Each of the residents has been carefully researched and styled, with the help of the people at Madame Tussauds. There are every day people but also famous celebrities, royalty and some of the city’s worst bad apples, some of whom you can meet with the help of 15 holograms.

The Berlin Hop-on Hop-off 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.
