Driving in Berlin
Day visitors are advised to Park & Ride; leave your car for free at a dedicated station and continue by S-Bahn train. Arriving on the A10 highway use Buch station; A100 - Innsbrucker Platz; A111 - Jungfernheide; A113 - Bundesplatz; A114 - Pankow; A115 - Heidelberger Platz.
All cars inside Berlin's S-Bahn railway ring must have an Umwelt-Plakette (environmental badge sticker), which can be ordered online before your trip (for around €30) via the Climate Company, www.umwelt-plakette.de, tel. +49 30 398 87 21 40, or purchased (from €5,50) at Dekra and TÜV garages around Berlin.
Street smarts
The Prussians certainly missed a trick when they decided it was a really smart idea to number houses up one side of the street and back down the other. Number 1 may well be opposite number 453. Thankfully, most Berlin street name signs indicate which numbers can be found along each block.
The peculiar German letter ß is pronounced 's', like in street, Straße.
Some common street-related words:
Allee - avenue;
Platz - square;
Straße - street;
Tor - gate;
Ufer - riverbank.
