Buy Berlin museum tickets with the WelcomeCard
Use this page to buy Berlin museum tickets that also unlock unlimited city transport. The Berlin WelcomeCard is the practical pass when you want Museum Island entry sorted and the freedom to move between galleries, landmarks, and neighbourhoods without buying a separate metro ticket each hop. Book your 72-hour pass online, print it before you travel, and present it for free Museum Island admission plus discounted access across 170+ Berlin attractions.
Searchers looking for museum tickets in Berlin often need more than a single gallery: this pass covers free entry to all five Museum Island museums (Altes Museum, Bode-Museum, Neues Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, and Pergamon Museum) and pairs that culture day with S-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram, bus, and regional-train travel in your chosen AB or ABC fare zones. Choose AB for central Berlin or ABC if you need BER Airport or a Potsdam day.
What Berlin museum tickets cover on Museum Island
Your WelcomeCard includes free admission to the Museum Island cluster, so you can move between classical collections, Egyptian and archaeological displays, and the Alte Nationalgalerie without buying five separate museum tickets. That is the core museum value for first-time visitors who want the island covered in one booking decision.
Beyond Museum Island, the same pass unlocks discounted entry to many paid Berlin sights and tours. Pair the pass with a focused stop such as DDR Museum admission tickets or Alte Nationalgalerie entry tickets when you want a deeper single-venue visit alongside the WelcomeCard savings network.
How the Berlin WelcomeCard works
Select your start date and time at checkout; the pass activates then and stays valid for exactly 72 consecutive hours. The ticket arrives by email as a digital file, but you must print it before travelling because participating venues and transport checks expect a printed pass. These tickets cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, so confirm your start window carefully before you book.
Unlimited public transport in your selected zones is included for the full 72 hours: S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams, buses, and regional trains within AB or ABC. Up to three children aged 6-14 travel free with each adult ticket, and children under 6 also travel free. AB cannot be upgraded later with a single C-zone add-on, so pick ABC up front if airport or Potsdam travel is on your plan.
Plan your Berlin museums and transport day
Many visitors use day one for Museum Island, day two for discounted landmarks and a river or walking tour, and spare hours for neighbourhoods reachable on the included network. Wear comfortable shoes for museum floors and outdoor transfers, keep your printed pass handy, and build a buffer around popular Museum Island hours. If you arrive hungry between galleries, café stops near the Spree keep a full culture day manageable without abandoning the island loop.
For skyline views after the galleries, compare Berlin TV Tower entry tickets. For more Berlin attractions from the same catalogue, start on the Berlin tickets hub and build a wider itinerary around your WelcomeCard window.
