Berlin is a large, sprawling city, and sooner or later you'll need to use its efficient, if expensive, public transport system. The fastest part of this is the S-Bahn , which shares with mainline trains the distinctive elevated tracks which cut right through the heart of the city.
There are also some underground stretches in the centre, while in the
outskirts it runs at ground level. As its name implies, the U-Bahn ,
whose stations are generally much closer together, is predominantly an
underground system, but also has some elevated track. Free coloured maps
of Berlin's Schnellbahnnetz (the entire network of S-Bahn, U-Bahn and
mainline trains) can be picked up from the cubicle outside Bahnhof Zoo, and
from the kiosks on station platforms. Tickets and passes
