Tips & Advice

  • Buy your tickets online and in advance, because the lowest prices are only sold that way, and the earlier you book, the more you save.
  • Arrive in time to pass the entrance during the 20-minute window printed on your ticket, because entry is limited to those set windows.
  • Take the S1 to Botanischer Garten or the M48 bus for the Unter den Eichen entrance, since there is no parking near the garden.
  • Bring a card if you plan to buy at the gate, because the evening box offices at both entrances don't take cash.
  • Families should aim for one of the five Family Days, when tickets are sold at a special price for a shared visit.
