Storing bags at nearby stations and venues

If you arrive instead at Berlin Friedrichstraße station, a short ride away via S-Bahn, U-Bahn, regional trains, trams and buses, you will find nearly 170 lockers on the ground floor on the Spree side. For events at the nearby Tempodrom, the bag policy is strict: only bags with a largest dimension of 21.0 x 29.7 cm (DIN A4) are allowed, one per person. Larger items can be stored for €5 on site, opposite the main entrance, though only a limited number of items are accepted. The venue is situated directly in front of Anhalter Bahnhof S-Bahn station, which is served by the S1, S2, S25 and S26 lines. There is no luggage storage or cloakroom facility provided by the Alexa shopping centre itself.

Getting around Berlin with luggage

Berlin Hauptbahnhof handles long-distance ICE, Intercity/EuroCity, Nightjet and Flixtrain services alongside S-Bahn and regional trains, making it the main gateway for many arrivals. Potsdamer Platz is served by S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S25 and S26 as well as the U2 and regional services, making it a common interchange for cross-city journeys.

Checkpoint Charlie, reached via Kochstraße U-Bahn station, is one of Berlin's most famous Cold War border crossing sites and now a major tourist draw. The Fernsehturm Berlin entrance is opposite Alexanderplatz S-Bahn station, and its timed-entry tickets mean you cannot simply wander in early with bags in tow. Visitors take the lift for the 360-degree panorama across the city skyline.

Planning your visit

The zoo opens 365 days a year, usually 9:00 to 16:30 or 18:30 depending on the season, though it closes at 14:00 on December 24. Next to the zoo at Hardenbergplatz 2 you will find PHO Noodlebar and Einstein Kaffee, both useful for a quick stop. There is also a McDonald's inside Zoologischer Garten station itself.
