Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Berlin

• Public transport is ideal: The HAU venues are close to the U-Bahn stations Hallesches Tor and Möckernbrücke (U1, U3, U6, U7). Other venues are easily reached by U-Bahn, S-Bahn or bus.
• August can be warm to hot – bring light, comfortable clothing and possibly a jacket for air-conditioned spaces or evening events.
• Book accommodation in Kreuzberg, Mitte or Charlottenburg early, as the festival takes place in high season and attracts many international guests.
• Use the festival centre at HAU2 (Hallesches Ufer 34) as a starting point – here you will find information, tickets and the chance to meet other visitors and artists.
• Check the programme and buy tickets in good time, as popular performances can sell out quickly. Subscribe to the festival newsletter and social media channels for updates.
