The Berlin Welcome Card is a convenient way to have unlimited use of trains and busses within the city, You can choose the number of days you want on the Welcome Card: 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days or 6 days. If you buy the tariff area ABC this includes the train to/from the airport. If you buy tariff area AB this includes the central part of the city but not to/from the airport. Depending on length and area covered, the card will cost from 28-63 Euros.
