S+U Potsdamer Platz Bhf (Berlin)

Completely underground train station.

There are luggage lockers for good price - small for 3 euro/24 h and big for 5 euro/24 h. The big one is perfect for two cabin bags and a backpack

The absolute quietest station for how large it is. Took a second to find the exit but once out I was amazed to see how pretty the entrance/exit was. The whole train system was super easy and non-German speaking tourists, to which I commend the translated signs.

Everything's nice, except a petty crime happened to us in our first time being here. I took photo of spot before we walked to Berlin Wall Memorial. Three looking students ( 2 girls, 1 boy) approached us when we came out from the underground station. Three looked OK ( no make-up, good faces, casual dress). They introduced as volunteers to an Int'l Student Group ( I forgot the name), wanted visitors to support € 10/ each so students in need have better living. They showed us book of different signatures & € 10 people wrote down. So, we did & cash out. We walked away but I then stopped looking at map. We're near enough to see next gentleman was stopped by them. He's asked for same thing. Unlike us, he refused " Kids, I help myself only". Guess what!? The boy got angrily saying behind that man "No money, go back to your country. You're not welcomed here". That moment, I realized, they're not "genuine volunteers".

Nice and clean. The overall impression was very positive when compared with many other major cities' subway systems.
The metro in Berlin worked very well and it was easy to understand where to go even for us who do not know the German language.

A modern build, spacious and very accesible complex. Great restaurants around too!

The modern side of Berlin is here! A place that was completely bombed during the WWII and remained derelict and empty for decades gave place to very modern constructions and it's a very cultural hub: cinemas, bars, lounges and, of course, the Berlin Philharmonik building. If you're in search of modern architecture, Potdsdamerplatz is a "no-miss" place.

A huge, beautiful station which seems to have started to fall into a state of disrepair.

Dirty floors, filthy glass, dirt and dust along edges of floor and escalator, the amazing wall light panels have a lot of bulbs needing replaced.

I am saddened that one of the places I loved to visit when in Berlin has become one that I would recommend you consider avoiding ....... unless somebody sorts out a cleanup operation to bring this location back to its former glory.
