Weak internetI am very pleased with my bus journey to Berlin.
The bus left on time and it was a smooth journey with punctual arrival. The bus was well filled and as I had reserved my seat including the next seat when I booked my ticket, I was able to travel relaxed with enough space.
The bus was clean and well ventilated. There were no noisy passengers or other unpleasant disturbances. A pleasant journey that can be recommended.

We recommend using the train as it is the most popular way to get from Erfurt to Berlin among Omio's users.
Germany uses the euro (€) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards, especially contactless payments, in cities and larger establishments. However, cash is still widely accepted and sometimes preferred in smaller shops, markets, and rural areas. Carrying some cash is recommended for flexibility.
In Berlin, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like public transport, Alexanderplatz, and popular tourist sites. Fake charity collectors and street vendors selling counterfeit goods are common scams. It's also advisable to avoid unlicensed taxi services and be wary of distraction techniques used by scammers to steal belongings. Staying alert in nightlife districts can help prevent theft and other safety issues.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
