Hey,
I'll be flying in and out of Berlin. I'll be arriving in Berlin a week or so before Wacken.

How long is a train ride from Berlin to Hamburg?

Where would I catch the train? Charlottenburg?

Where is a good website that has information in english? I can only find info in German.

Thanks.

I'll be arriving in Berlin about a week before Wacken. I'm going to stay in Berlin for a while and be a tourist, then go to Wacken.

I NEED to see the Pergamonmuseum, I studied so much about in college, that i HAVE to see the damn thing.

I was just interested, in case i did something really stupid and should have flown in straight to Hamburg.

Anyway, I'll be arriving in Berlin July 23rd.

I almost post the right time! :D:D

Yes, german trains are fucking expensive, as far as I know. Certain journeys are cheaper by plane (Cologne-Hamburg, for example)

Ok... thats kind of expensive, but it won't break me...

Thanks for all your help!

One last thing, do i have to buy tickets in advance? Or when i get to the station? In the USA, travelling by trains is like airplanes, its best to buy in advance.

something around 100€ i think... BUT... see if you can book the trip as fast a possible when you are in germany. if you book 7 days before your journey, it´ll be 40% cheaper...
