Good to know

Practical notes before your visit.

TimingFor a calmer visit, choose a weekday morning: Hamburger Bahnhof opens at 10:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Thursday has extended opening until 20:00, while Saturday and Sunday open at 11:00 and Monday is closed. Official day tickets are released for sale 28 days in advance, so check the ticket shop when your preferred date enters the booking window.
EntranceUse the visitor entrance at Invalidenstraße 50. Online tickets can help you avoid waiting at the ticket counter, but allow extra time for admission and the cloakroom: small bags are permitted, while larger bags or backpacks over 30 × 20 × 10 cm must be stored, and luggage cannot be accepted. Hamburger Bahnhof is partially wheelchair accessible; access to the Rieckhallen is not barrier-free, so contact the information desk at the ticket office if needed.
PriceThe official benchmark shown is 32 EUR for “Museumspass Berlin 3 Tage für Dauerausstellungen,” while the partner options are 16 EUR for “Hamburger Bahnhof Museum Entrance Ticket” and 29 EUR for “Berlin: Hamburger Bahnhof Ticket & Digital City Tour.” These prices are for different products, so check the final checkout total, cancellation terms, and inclusions before booking; partner pricing may reflect added services such as a digital city tour.
DiscountsChildren and young people up to their 18th birthday can enter free, but they should obtain a free ticket at the museum cash desk or book one online and show the relevant identification at entry. Reduced admission is available to eligible groups such as schoolchildren, students, severely disabled visitors and unemployed people; bring the required proof. Accompanying persons of severely disabled visitors should also obtain a free ticket and present the relevant proof.

Planning your visit

Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart is part of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and occupies a former railway station whose historical terminus building opened on the Hamburg–Berlin line in 1846. The museum was relaunched as Museum für Gegenwart in 1996, and its Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart displays art created mainly from 1960 onward.

The permanent exhibition draws on a contemporary art collection that includes Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, Anselm Kiefer and Cy Twombly. The Marx Collection is especially important: its works are shown in changing presentations, so the exact selection can vary, while temporary exhibitions add current thematic or artist-focused displays. An audio guide has also been developed for collection visits, including youth-oriented projects.

The visitor entrance is at Invalidenstraße 50, and Berlin Hauptbahnhof is the transport hub served by the S-Bahn Hauptbahnhof and U-Bahn Hauptbahnhof, as well as trams and buses. The museum is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 18:00, Thursday until 20:00, and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00; Monday is closed.

An admission ticket can be booked online or bought at the museum counter, and the venue says online booking helps avoid waiting at the ticket counter. A skip-the-line entry should therefore be understood mainly as reduced ticket-counter friction, not as a guarantee of immediate access through every museum check. Museum Pass Berlin holders and visitors using concession tickets should bring the required proof; visitors under 18 must obtain a free day ticket online or at the counter before entering.

Before you buy

Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.

  • Security restrictions mean larger bags and backpacks cannot be taken into the exhibitions; free cloakrooms and lockers are available, but allow extra time to use them.
  • Travel luggage and other large baggage cannot be stored at Hamburger Bahnhof, so visitors arriving with suitcases may need another luggage-storage solution.
  • Buying at the ticket counter can add a wait; Hamburger Bahnhof recommends booking online in advance to avoid the ticket-counter line.
  • The Rieckhallen are currently not barrier-free, so visitors who need step-free access should contact the information desk at the ticket office before entering.

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask most.

Can I use a mobile ticket at Hamburger Bahnhof, and do I need a time slot?

The official day ticket allows entry at any time during opening hours on the ticket date, but mobile-ticket and time-slot rules are not confirmed for every partner product. Check the final voucher instructions before travelling.

Can I cancel or get a refund for my Hamburger Bahnhof ticket?

Cancellation and refund terms are not shown in the available offer details for these options. Review the seller’s checkout terms before payment, especially for the guided tour.

Should I buy from the official seller or a partner?

The official seller is the clearest choice when you want the venue’s own day-ticket rules and direct museum support. The partner entry ticket is an alternative when official inventory is unsuitable, while the guided-tour product is better for visitors who want hosted context; confirm the final inclusions and terms at checkout.

Can I bring a bag or backpack into Hamburger Bahnhof?

Small bags may be taken inside, but larger bags or backpacks over 30 × 20 × 10 cm must be left in the cloakroom or a locker. Travel luggage cannot be accepted, so do not use Hamburger Bahnhof as a luggage-storage stop.

What happens if I arrive late at Hamburger Bahnhof?

An official day ticket is valid for entry at any time during opening hours on its ticket date. Late-arrival rules for the guided tour or other partner products are not confirmed, so follow the voucher instructions and contact the seller if the product has a scheduled meeting time.

Do children and reduced-admission visitors need a ticket for Hamburger Bahnhof?

Children and young people under 18 can enter free, but they must obtain or book a free day ticket and show the required proof where applicable. Reduced visitors must present valid identification, and accompanying persons for severely disabled visitors should also obtain a free day ticket.

What is the main bottleneck when entering Hamburger Bahnhof?

The ticket counter and cloakroom are the practical pinch points: the museum recommends booking online to avoid waiting at the counter, and larger bags must be checked before entering the exhibitions. Online entry does not remove any bag or security procedures.
