Getting to the Hanfparade

Of course Berlin is always worth a visit but the weekend of the 6th August 2011 is especially worth a journey. Here are some travel tips for you:

Our special recommendation: Travel in a group! Not only does it save costs and is environment friendly but is also more fun! Tips for travelling and our own ride sharing page can be found on our travel tips. Who ever wants to organise a bus trip, there is detailed information in the area Volunteer under Organise a Bus Trip! Scheduled bus trips, which we have been informed about, are already available and can be viewed on the Travel Arrangements side.

Train

Many regional trains, subway, trams and buses stop directly at Alexanderplatz. With inter city trains it would be better travelling to the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) or the main east station (Ostbahnhof) and use the commuter trains to Alexanderplatz.

Especially cheap are the various special offers, "Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket", "Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket", discount on group travel and the "BahnCard", which start at 10€ for adolescents. These offers pay for themselves after the first journey. Attention: Many offers have to be booked long in advance as they are limited. You should also keep an eye on direct competitors like InterConnex, which connect Leipzig and Rostock to Berlin.

Bus

The Central Bus Station (ZOB) is located at the "Funkturm", Masurenallee 4-6, 14057 Berlin. From there it takes about half an hour from "Messe Nord" to Alexanderplatz by commuter train. The company "BerlinLinienBus" offer various bus travel options to Berlin.

Do you have a large circle of friends and want to organise a bus to the parade on your own? Maybe you have got some spare seats? Publish them on our ride sharing page! We may be able to publish more infos about bus rides, but have no time to organise it ourselves. Contact us!

Local transit and the city

For hemp friends in Berlin, the Hanfparade is a mandatory date and the Alexanderplatz is well known by everyone. It is one of the most central, biggest meeting points which is easy to reach from every point of the city. Nearby parking lots for cars are not that easy to find but there is e.g. a basement garage beneath the Alexa Shopping Centre.

Our meeting point and the start of the demonstration is the area between the television tower and the train station. We can hang out there in the park area until 1:00pm. From there on our parade floats with their political and musical messages won't be easy to ignore!
