Berlin Travel Forum

We will be going to Berlin in late May and I was wondering if all of the touristy things, local restaurants, buses....will be open on Sunday?

Restaurants and museums will be open, buses will run, but less frequently than on weekdays, shops will be closed.

Shops are closed, apart from the ones in bigger train stations.

Museums, other sights, restaurants are open. Less prominent sights are sometimes open only during weekends.

Buses and other local public transport operate. Albeit not with the same dense frequency like during the peak hours of the weekdays. On the other side there is more 24 hrs service on a Sa/Su night (and Fr/Sa) than on weekdays night.

Hi there,
Shopping malls will be closed on Sunday and most of the supermarkets, too. If you need a supermarket on Sunday try the one at Ostbahnhof. For small shops with great clothes, shoes and so on, a lot of shops are open around Simon-Dach-Straße near station Warschauer Straße. There are also great cafes and bars.
It is a vibrant area at the weekends.
Hope you´ll enjoy your stay.

Best wishes from Berlin,

Stine

@Stine, great tip, also for fellow countrypeople visiting the capital once in a while for business, like myself :))
