    Changing from the lower platforms to the upper ones can take quite a lot of time. Careful selection of the correct elevator may help.

    Beautiful station, designed by Meinhard von Gerkan. Beware: transfers from regular trains to S-Bahn takes at least 6 minutes as you have to climb several floors.

    Great train station, clean, a number of shops that are also open on the Sunday. Various places to get food for the train ride. If you need to use the toilet, go there first, then redeem your voucher!

    For me one of the best train stations ever. 5 stories with shops and tracks. Good connection to subway, bus and taxi. Awesome and so clean🍾🍾🍾

    My favourite railway station. Rewe, Rossmann, great selection of food stands (the sushi one is not bad at all) - all you can possibly want is here. Not to forget the beautiful architecture.

    I really like this place, there are lots of shops, so you will never get bored here. Also the bus which goes to TXL close to the railway station. I feel home in Berlin, I love Berlin <3

    So many levels! Strongly suggest finding out your platform with high priority. Can take a while to get from Platform 1 to Platform 10.

    You'll find the cheapest mineral water at the REWE supermarket in Level -1, one litre for about one Euro. - Avoid the expensive snack shops for buying drinks! And enjoy Berlin!

    Fascinating building because of the modern architecture and its history. When visiting it make sure you've read a bit of the background. Makes you appreciate it even more.

    A stroke of urban planning inspiration to put the main train station in a place that is incredibly hard to reach.

    Nice station, but if you need to change your PEDs, and you cannot access the DB lounge, your only choice is the Tourist Bureau. Thankfully they have a nice little rest area with a few outlets.

    More like a shopping mall with over 70 shops and restaurants, with railway lines running above and below. Opened in 2006, there's still relatively little surrounding development,with just a few hotels

    This bahnhof is quiet impressive. I managed to get lost in there a few times and still don't everything that is inside. Apotheke and grocery store is 24/7 and that is wonderful.

    Go downstairs and walk from one end of the platform to the other. That's how long ICEs are nowadays, it's incredible!

    There are luggage lockers around and they are pretty cheap. The short term ones are more expensive if you need them for a day, but they are most likely free.

    When traveling between Berlin Hbf and Leipzig Hbf always use InterConnex! 7:51 - 9:18 Berlin to Leipzig, 9:31 - 10:51 Leipzig/Berlin, 17:02 - 18:30 Berlin/Leipzig, 18:55 - 20:14 Leipzig/Berlin

    It is huge, indeed. But somehow it seems so calm and peaceful and silent as if it was at a small city. Amazing.

    For an undisturbed smoke use the entrance Friedrich-List-Ufer on first floor. Much less panhandling and loitering than at the two main entrances.

    Grab a coffee from Dunkin' Donuts before boarding your train, tram, or bus. Excellent service at the DB ticket office.

    There's a small brewery with beer garden on the top floor, next to platform 14/15. Enjoy a beer and maybe some sun at Hopfingerbräu. :-)
