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.

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.

This station serves lines U1, U3 and U12, between the stations of Kottbusser Tor to the west and Schlesisches Tor to the east. Its location is on an island in the middle of Skalitzer Straße, right next to its intersection with Wiener Straße. Close by are a fair number of retail stores and restaurants, including 36Döner - a middle eastern spot serving donner kebab, pita sandwiches, curry wurst, etc. and 36 Smashburger. The station is elevated over the street and accessible via stairs and elevator. Clear signage on train times and plenty of standing room on the two platforms. It's nice that it's covered overhead though on a chilly day you'll certainly feel the cold. Tickets are available to purchase via machines on the platforms. If you have a physical ticket remember to get it stamped at one of the yellow validation machines prior to boarding the train!

Blocks away, bars, shops, restaurants with patio seating surrounds the area. This is its own tourist destination and not just a train station stop. I would not have guessed it opened in 1882. For such an old station it is not run-down nor dated - relatively clean too. The architecture is uncommon and quite amazing with lots of brickwork. What's more amazing is seeing trains going by above ground but within an enclosure!

After awhile knowing to check screens and updated paper timetables it was helpful. You may have a train somewhere, but the screen may have a different destination for your location. That can be confusing. This train station offers many amenities and options for dining before or after your arrival. Bathrooms you do have to pay for. That is always a treat with kids. Overall, a good train station option that just needs a little time if you are new to figure it out.
