I mean, it's a step (or two, or three) up from the aesthetic nothingness that is Kottbusser Tor, but it's still not the prettiest. Plus, all the vagrant punks with their dogs and bored dudes who spend all day drinking down there? WHY?! Things it does have going for it: U + S = WIN Former air raid shelter = safe? End of the line = trains all the time So I guess this place falls somewhere in the middle. But it's home to me.

Depending on which type of transit, the station extends above and below ground. You can purchase tickets mostly at the automated ticket machines for local transit or at a couple manned ticket booths. For more info check out their website www.bahnhof.de/alexanderplatz Located within and around the station are a number of retail stores and fast food or fast casual restaurants. The area surrounding the station features the Berlin Fernsehturm, Weltseituhr, Rotes Rathaus, Nikolaikirche, and other historic and tourist sites. It's also within walking distance 20-25 minutes from Museum Island. There's shopping and public parks in the neighborhood too. This area was also where in the evening there were quite a fair number of unfortunate homeless peoples in the streets. Didn't feel like they were bothering anyone though just a note for those walking around later at night.

Schlesisches Tor is one of the poorer stops I used on the Berlin Metro, during my time in the…read moreGerman Capital. It is on the U1 line only, so chances are to get where you want to go, you may have to get on another tube perhaps at a station, which is on more lines. I have to start by saying the configuration of this station, only being on one line (U1) when many other stations are at least on two is disappointing. Overall as a Station, Schlesisches Tor seemed to be highly old fashioned, and even dirty and unkept with lots of homeless people hanging around the station and a high amount of graffiti, so overall it wasn't very pleasant at all. It is located fairly close to the Berlin Wall East Side Gallery so the location overall is okay if you want to see the real Berlin wall, as I recall there is around 1.6km of it still standing. The station didn't appear to have lift access, and if it did, the lift certainly was well-hidden as it does state lift access on the map, despite there being no signs for this etc. Overall, Schlesisches Tor is a poor metro station in most regards, probably one of the worst on the networks I've visited mainly down to the routes this station is located on, overall feel and cleanliness and accessibility, hence sadly warranting a single one-star rating.
