Luggage storage at Alexanderplatz

Alexanderplatz is both a central square and one of Berlin's busiest transport hubs, so plenty of travellers pass through with bags they'd rather not carry.

The square itself stays open around the clock and costs nothing to enter, which makes it an easy meeting point but no help on its own when you're hauling luggage. For that, the station's own left-luggage lockers sit on the ground floor to the right of the DB-Zentrum, with 64 small and 45 large lockers let for a 24-hour stretch.

If you're coming in on the S3, S5, S7 or S9, you'll step off the S-Bahn right at this same hub. Alternatively, Berlin Friedrichstrasse station has nearly 170 official lockers on its ground-floor Spree side. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 8 locations near Alexanderplatz.

Berlin Fernsehturm: what to know before you go

The Berliner Fernsehturm sits opposite the Alexanderplatz S-Bahn station, so it's easy to find once you arrive. It's the tallest building in Germany, drawing visitors for the panoramic city views from its observation deck. A standard adult ticket runs roughly €25–27, and access only works during your booked time slot, so there's no wandering up whenever you like. Opening hours stretch from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. between March and October, and 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. from November to February.

Nearby sights and getting to them

Museumsinsel is one of the easier day trips from Alexanderplatz — the U5 line stops at Museumsinsel station right by the island. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it gathers art and cultural pieces from several millennia of European and Mediterranean history into one walkable cluster of museums. A Museumsinsel Ticket costs €24 and covers admission to all of them for a single day, which makes a full afternoon there straightforward.
