Berlin Train Station First Move
Choose your Berlin arrival station, luggage pressure and next goal, then get the first move before the station makes the decision for you.
A free Berlin arrival tool for choosing your first move from the station on your ticket.
Use this free Berlin tool when a train ticket says Hauptbahnhof, Ostbahnhof, Südkreuz, Gesundbrunnen or Spandau and you need a calm first move. It helps you protect the airport, hotel, luggage drop or tour timing before the station layout makes the day feel bigger than it is.
What this station tool does
The Berlin Train Station First Move tool helps tourists decide what to do after arriving at Hauptbahnhof, Ostbahnhof, Südkreuz, Gesundbrunnen or Spandau. It turns a station name and first pressure into one practical next move.
Best use
Use it when you are booking a train to Berlin, standing on a platform with luggage, or choosing whether to go straight to the hotel, BER Airport, Alexanderplatz, or a BerlinWalk meeting point.
Local guide note
My advice is not to treat Hauptbahnhof as the answer to every Berlin arrival. Berlin has several serious train stations, and the right one depends on your hotel, onward transport, luggage and time of day.

Pair it with the Berlin public transport guide, the ticket zone calculator and the luggage storage map when your arrival day includes transfers, bags or BER Airport.
