Finding your way around the city....


From our awesome guide Arjan:
For Android users, there's a free map app called "MapsWithMe" that can be used offline - hence no data connection necessary while in Germany. Just download the Berlin package once you installed the app, enable GPS, and you have an offline 'GoogleMaps' with you.

For public transport planning, I can recommend the free app Öffi (in English) that actually covers many cities. It also has a Berlin metro map and surrounding maps of big stations like Alexanderplatz or the central train station. This app does need an Internet connection, so you should use it with a wifi connection (hotel, café) to avoid roaming costs.
