There are many food and dining options, various retail stores, everything imaginable. It's fairly easy to navigate. Free Wi-Fi available. If you're from the United States and you're catching an Uber, be prepared to move fast to get your Uber. Don't order an Uber assuming there will be a typical delay of two or three minutes like in the United States. We had to pay our Uber driver a small waiting fee because of the time it took us to get from the door of the train station to the Uber.

Meaning, there are a lot of businesses that line the walls of this station. This is a multi-level train station. They have escalators and elevators to take you to the various levels. So, getting around is not too difficult. As this is the main station of Berlin, as can be expected, you may encounter a lot of people here. The moment you begin to walk towards the station you can expect to encounter a lot of people puling their suitcases and carrying their bags. Plus, a lot of people running late, jamming their way through the crowds. My suggestion is to plan to get there a little early if you have a train to catch. As mentioned, there is also a lot of businesses that line the walls of this station. These are mostly food stands and convenience markets, but there is a few other places where you can grab some clothing and stuff the like. More than just a train station, Berlin Hauptbahnhof is a gathering spot. They have a music venue and a outdoor food stand area on the back side of this station, over by the river. So, this is not only a place to grab that train, to get whereever it is you are going to, but a place to sit back and enjoy the Berlin Outdoor life, as well.

It take sometime from A to B, lots of stairs needed to go through. If you are in hurry, better run a little. There are two line go through this station, U1 and U6. Outside the station, I find it quite cool. The station builded right on the riverside. Because of it, it looks quite different than most of the U-Bahn stations in Berlin. There is a little bridge outside, from there you can have a pretty nice view, whether day or night. In summer time, this is also popular for the birds. They like to build their homes here, quite a view. Some of the city boat tours also will pass by when they returning their meeting point. There are a library, Poco and Mehringplatz around, other than that not much going on here. If you want some snacks or Take-away, there's a small Döner shop inside the station. I kinda like this station, just when it comes to a rush timing, it could be like in a small race.

Staff is mostly friendly, especially on the RE1 line between Frankfurt (Oder) and Magdeburg by way of Fürstenwalde (Spree), Berlin, Potsdam and Brandenburg/Havel, branded as the first Regional-Express service in Germany that started its success story about 20 years ago. They are usually bilingual and will gladly give you information in both German and English. Some also speak basic Polish or Russian. Tickets cannot be bought onboard anymore except for select few rather expensive tickets (1st class excess, Rail Rovers for Berlin-Brandenburg or the entirety of Germany), but these can be paid for by credit cards and now also by debit cards. Trains are fairly clean and refurbished to comparatively high standards with power sockets in both first and standard class. Much more so than in certain other regions (Yes I'm looking at you DB Regio NRW) - probably also because the Berlin-Brandenburg Passenger Transport Executive (VBB, Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg) is constantly watching the conduct of the regional transport companies.

I like how the station look. It looks quite unique from oursite. And inside actually quite humble, nothing fancy, but not bad. Here you can also change to S7 if you want to go to Potsdam. Just remember to get an extra ticket at the ticket machine, if you only got the AB zone ticket. The Wannsee is right in front of the station, It is really beautiful in summer time. And there is some Biergartens just around the corner. And there is ferry around as well. Quite a great place to have yourself a small weekend getaway.
