Berlin disabled access is quite good, similar to other European cities that
were heavily bombed in World War II. There are much fewer
cobblestone streets or 100 year old buildings used for hotels and
museums than you will find in Paris or Rome. Additionally, public
transportation such as busses and subways provide good Berlin disabled
access.
Overview
Berlin is definitely worth a trip by itself,
or you can combine it with another
destination (Cologne is 4 hours away
by train, Prague and Warsaw – 5 hours,
Amsterdam – 6 hrs,
and Copenhagen - 7 hours….
or you can take a quick flight).

Your best landmarks to get your orientation in Berlin are the large
Tiergarten Park in the middle of the city and the Unter den Linden street
that extends to the east of it.
Layout
The west end of the park has the Zoologischer Garten train station and was
the center of the former West Berlin.
• South of the park is Potsdamer Platz and the Gemäldegalerie art
museum.
• The east end of the park has the Brandenburg gate and the Reichstag.
• Moving further east, Checkpoint Charlie and the Gendarmenmarkt plaza
are south of Unter den Linden street.
• Museum Island is at the east end of Unter den Linden.
• Further east of Museum Island is the TV Tower which can be seen from
all over the city.

Wheelchair accessible travel to Berlin is possible by flying into Tegel
airport or Shönefeld Airport, or by taking a train to the Berlin
Hauptbahnhof (main train station). All of these have good disabled
access with good options for accessible transportation to your hotel.

Accessible transportation in Berlin is provided by the accessible busses
and via taxis. There are also many subway stations with elevators to get
down to the platforms, and there is a website to check which stations
have elevators that are out of service.

I recommend using taxis to get between the tourist areas in East Berlin:
Checkpoint Charlie area, Museum Island, the Reichstag, Gemäldegalerie
area, and the Jewish Museum. You can walk/roll to the sights within
each of those areas:
• Checkpoint Charlie area: Museum of the Wall and Topography of Terror
• Museum Island: German History Museum, Pergamon Museum, Berlin
Cathedral, and Egyptian Museum
• Reichstag area: Reichstag, Brandenburg gate, Memorial to the Murdered
Jews of Europe
• Gemäldegalerie area: Gemäldegalerie museum and German Resistance
Museum

Use the Number 100 and 200 busses to get to and from West Berlin
where you will find the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and KaDeWe
shopping store. The Gemäldegalerie area can also be accessed via the
Number 200 bus line.

Many wheelchair accessible Berlin tourist attractions can be found in
the city, however you should know that some of the main attractions
are not wheelchair friendly. Some tourist attractions will have an
alternative entrance that has a ramp or elevator to get around the steps
at the main entrance, including the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church,
the Reichstag, the Berlin Cathedral, the German Cathedral, and the
Museum of the Wall.

Other Berlin tourist attractions have a single step at the entrance
(German Resistance Memorial) or do not allow wheelchair users (TV
Tower). The German History Museum has flat access at the main
entrance, while the Gemäldegalerie art museum, Jewish Museum
Berlin, Neues Museum, and Berlin Wall Documentation Center have
ramped access. The Pergamon museum has a wheelchair lift to get up
the steps at the entrance.
The accessibility details I have gathered are based on a trip to Berlin
I took in February 2010.
