    One of the most important station in Berlin. Earlier, when Tegel airport were operational this was one of the most important station. Even now it connects to the heart of Berlin and is still an important one. Over the years the structure has remained identical.

    Train station is fine but there sure are a lot of people walking around there upset over the existence of homeless people as they continue onto their own warm homes, avoid if you don't like apathetic jerks

    Nice Station in Berlin at crossing centre, very convenient accessible by U Bahn Station and Bus station. Building seems to be under construction, so long distance regional train are boarded separately, clean and toilets available.

    Nach jahrelanger Rekonstruktion ist das Ergebnis des 'neuen' Bahnhof Zoos sehr ernüchternd. Nichts lädt zum Verweilen, Anschauen und Bestaunen ein. Graue Tristesse, aus der man schnell verschwinden möchte. Die pipigelben Fliesen sind auch noch geblieben. Jetzt, wo das Viertel sich rausputzt, das Waldorf Astoria gegenüber liegt, hätte man sich etwas mehr mit dem Bahnhof geben können.

    (Translated by Google) The Bahnhof Zoo is quite a historic train station in the history of Berlin. This wonderful train station survived the Second World War and quite a few well-known films were shot on site. This station offers plenty of travel options for buses and a neighboring zoo. There are plenty of options for changing buses, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, the Deutsche Bahn regional train station, as well as lots of other travel options. Of course, the train station also has lots of other shops, newsagents and snack bars as well as small restaurants and bakeries. Unfortunately, this wonderful train station is also very crowded with crowds in every season and almost every time. (Original) Der Bahnhof Zoo ist schon ein recht historischer Bahnhof in der Geschichte Berlins gesehen. Dieser wunderbare Bahnhof hat den Zweiten Weltkrieg auch überstanden und es wurden auch ziemlich viele bekannte Filme vor Ort abgedreht. Dieser Bahnhof bietet jede Menge Fahrmöglichkeiten für Busse und einen benachbarten Zoo. Es gibt jede Menge Umsteigemöglichkeiten in Bus, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, den Regio der Deutschen Bahn sowie jede Menge andere Fahrmöglichkeiten. Der Bahnhof bietet natürlich auch jede Menge andere Shops die Zeitungsläden und Imbisse sowie kleine Restaurants und Bäckereien. Leider ist dieser wunderbare Bahnhof auch von Menschenmengen bei jeder Jahreszeit und zu fast jeder Uhrzeit sehr überfüllt.

    Kein Aushängeschild mehr. Historisch ja. Heute nur noch traurig. Unsauber, viele Bettler und Rumtreiber. Man wird belästigt und es ist nicht sehr sauber. OA und Polizei müsste nicht nur mehr präsent sein sondern auch durchgreifen. Das nicht nur am Tag. Schade. Es wäre sonst für Touristen interessanter. Von der nördlichen Seite will ich gar nicht erst schreiben. Am Hauptbahnhof ist doch auch mehr Ordnung. Der ist viel größer und viel schwieriger .

    Don’t get confused if you have to change the train. Like from S-Bahn to train or reverse. Take some extra minute they are mixed up a bit for the first time. Shops; all the brands you need are here but also you can go to Berlin mall where everything is available and covered, for hotter, rainy days. You can walk directly into the Tiergarten for a walk, great place for that. Don’t forget the tea Hause, although they are offering more than Tea:-)

    (Translated by Google) The train station is slowing down. After half of it has finally been renovated and modernized, you can see what makes it so special. Unfortunately, the environment is still often very dirty and a meeting point for dubious characters. (Original) Der Bahnhof macht sich langsam. Nachdem endlich mal die hälfte saniert und modernisiert ist, sieht man, was das ausmacht. Leider ist das Umfeld noch weiterhin oft stark verschmutzt und ein Sammelpunkt für Dubiose Gestalten.

    (Translated by Google) A dangerous corner in the evening and early morning! Everywhere and at any time of the day or night, this is the meeting place for beggars and homeless people who harass you. It's also always dirty and almost only homeless people sleep on the seats. Just extremely uncomfortable and who can I advise to avoid this stop. (Original) Abends und am frühen Morgen eine gefährliche Ecke! Überall und zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit ist hier der Treffpunkt für Bettler und Obdachlose, die einen bedrängen. Es ist zudem auch immer dreckig und auf den Sitzgelegenheiten schlafen fast nur noch Obdachlose. Einfach extrem unangenehm und wer kann dem rate ich dazu diese Haltestelle zu vermeiden.

    A central knot in Berlin's transportation network, and you can change fast and directly. But this place literally stinks. Not the way the rest of Berlin stinks. There's puke everywhere and always people sleeping under the bridge and taking drugs. A really disgusting ambiente. Bonus points for having all the shops and restaurants you could need right there.

  • 1/5 Henry C. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very uncomfortable place, feel very unsafe here. It appalls me how a Senate that has "Social" written in large letters on its flags can accept such social misery that prevails here. The attitude of these people towards and those who have to endure this must be described as anti-social. Those responsible like to present it as if these people chose their own destiny and "liked" to live on the streets. This is a very convenient stance to cover up one's inactivity. (Original) Ein sehr unangenehmer Ort, fühle mich hier sehr unsicher. Es entsetzt mich, wie ein Senat der sich groß "Sozial" auf seine Flaggen geschrieben hat ein derartiges soziales Elend, das hier herrscht, hinnehmen kann. Die Einstellung dieser Menschen gegenüber und denen, die das ertragen müssen, muss als unsozial bezeichnet werden. Die verantwortlichen Stellen stellen es gerne so dar, als würden diese Menschen ihr Schicksal selbst gewält haben und "gerne" auf der Straße leben. Das ist eine sehr bequeme Haltung, um die eigene Untätigkeit zu überdecken.

    One of the most convinient stations in Berlin. You can have access to many sbahn, ubahn and regional lines as well as bus routes. It has many shops and places to eat. However, it really nees some attention regarding its cleanliness. Maybe more regular cleaning would do.

    (Translated by Google) The Zoologischer Garten railway station is an oppressive place in the early morning and in the evening. Homeless people and beggars are certainly part of everyday life here. It kind of reminds me of the kids from the Bahnhofzoo! Although the legendary drug depot zoo is pretty clean today, it's still a social hotspot that hurts! Visited on 10/15/2022 (Original) Die Bahnhofstation Zoologischer Garten ist am frühen Morgen und am Abend ein beklemmender Ort. Obdachlose und Bettler gehören hier sicher zum Alltagsbild. Es erinnert mich irgendwie an, die Kinder vom Bahnhofzoo! Obwohl der legendäre Drogenbahnhof Zoo heute ziemlich clean ist, ist er noch immer ein sozialer Brennpunkt, der schmerzt!

    This railway station-Zoologischer Garten is a rather oppressive place in the early morning and evening hours. Homeless people and beggars are definitely a visible part of everyday life here. It reminds me a bit of Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo Although the legendary drug zoo is pretty clean these days, it still reminds me a bit of the past, which is emotionally.. weird.

    The square in front of it is harsh, a lot of crime and shady people. The station is just typical for Berlin (so still extremely far from 1st world standards)

  • 3/5 Enmanuel O. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool station, busy and nice, bur I think that for many people it is very confusing. I had to help several people to get oriented because they are looking for the S-Bahn or Regional trains, and they do not know how to get there so easily. But it is a nice place where you can also find supermarkets open during Sunday as well.

  • 2/5 Taiseer 1 year ago on Google
    While the station may have had some issues in the past, it's great to see that efforts are being made to improve the conditions and create a safer and more welcoming environment for everyone. With increased security measures and regular cleaning and maintenance, commuters and visitors can feel more confident when using the facilities. Of course, it's always a good idea to remain aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. It's worth noting that a big part of the station has already been renewed, so there's plenty to look forward to as the improvements continue. All in all, we can be optimistic that this station will continue to become an even better place for travelers and commuters alik

    In die Jahre gekommen ist dieser Bahnhof, an dem früher die ICEs aus dem Westen hielten. Heute fahren sie durch bis Hauptbahnhof, und der Bahnhof Zoo hat an Bedeutung verloren. Bekannt wurde der Bahnhof durch den Film über "Die Kinder von Bahnhof Zoo". Knotenpunkt für U-Bahnen, Regionalbahnen und S-Bahnen sowie Busse ist er immer noch, und direkt gegenüber liegt der Berliner Zoo. Im Untergeschoss der U-Bahn befindet sich ein Kundenzentrum der Berliner Verkehrsgesellschaft für den ÖPNV.
