These are some of the great notes:

While the best things in life are free, you can’t go wrong with a really good bargain. Here are some money-saving hacks from The Berliner team to help you make the most of this (increasingly expensive) city.

Classic Card

If you’re under 30, take advantage of €15 tickets for opera and ballet and €13 for concerts with the Classic Card app. If you are feeling spontaneous, they offer last-minute tickets (€10 for opera/ballet, €8 for concerts) that you can redeem two hours before the performance. The yearly fee is equivalent to the age you are when you join the programme (so €20 per year if you join when you’re 20).

Staatliche museums Jahreskarte

Enjoy unlimited free access to any of the city’s Staatliche museums during times when there are fewer visitors with the Jahreskarte. For €25 a year you get free entry to venues on weekdays from 3pm and on weekends and public holidays from 11am to 1pm. With standard day tickets to these museums costing around €12-€16, a regular culture vulture can enjoy a massive saving.

Stadtbäder discounted hours

One of the cheapest ways to exercise without committing yourself to a membership is by taking a dip at one of the city’s many Stadtbäder. Enjoy €3.50 tickets on weekdays if you arrive before 2:30pm or after 8pm.

Bargain groceries

Snap up a bargain at open-air food markets – like the one at Maybach Ufer on Tuesday and Thursdays – by arriving 1-2 hours before closing time, when the day’s perishable goods are put on sale. For further grocery savings, the TooGoodToGo app offers heavily discounted surprise bags from associated supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants – and of course make sure you’re signed up to the rewards programme for your local supermarket.

The Berliner freebies

For a chance to get free tickets and goodies, there’s no better place to look than their Instagram and newsletter. They offer regular giveaways for concert tickets, gallery openings, the Freiluftkino and comedy, and you can snap up some great prizes.
