Berlin WelcomeCard Calculator: Worth It? (2026)
Berlin is the city where pass math is genuinely close: gate prices here are low (most museums are 14 to 16 euros), so the WelcomeCard only wins when you stack several paid sights AND count the transport it bundles. Tick your list below and we will price it honestly, including the BVG ticket you would otherwise buy.
1. Who's going, and for how long?
Days matter for unlimited passes; pick-a-number passes give you weeks.
2. What do you want to see?
Gate prices are our researched baselines (as of July 2026).
Live prices for the attractions you ticked above. Buying these one by one is the honest option whenever a pass doesn't beat the gate.
Prices per person in USD unless noted. Children priced at each operator's child rate where published; gate-price child tickets estimated at 80% of adult. Choice-slot menu rules are simplified; the linked booking pages have the exact menus.
How the Berlin passes actually work
Is the Berlin WelcomeCard worth it?
It depends on the transport as much as the sights. Berlin's museums are cheap (the Neues Museum is 14 euros, the DDR Museum 14), so two or three museums alone will not beat the card. What tips it is the zone AB day ticket at 11.20 euros a day, plus one expensive sight like the TV Tower or the Dungeon. Tick your real list above: the calculator counts the transport you would otherwise buy.
What's the difference between the WelcomeCard and the WelcomeCard All-Inclusive?
This matters and the names hide it. The plain Berlin WelcomeCard is a transport ticket plus DISCOUNTS (25 to 50 percent off), not free entry. The All-Inclusive version is the one that gives free admission to around 30 attractions, and it is the one this page prices. If you buy the cheap one expecting free museums, you will be disappointed at the door.
What about the old Berlin Pass?
Treat it with caution. A Berlin Pass listing still appears at some resellers, but Go City no longer lists Berlin among its destinations, so we do not price it here rather than quote you a number for a product that may not be sold any more. Also note the Pergamonmuseum's main building is closed for renovation until 2027: only the Panorama annex is open, on any pass.
