Where can I store my luggage in Berlin?

August 15, 2018 6:39 AM

On Saturday I’ll fly from Berlin to Australia with a large suitcase - I need somewhere to store it between approx 9 am and 7pm. I can’t store it at my accommodation and don’t have any friends who can help in Berlin. Do you know of luggage lockers or a luggage storage service in Berlin? Should ideally be accessible by public transport or cheap taxi (from Reinickendorf) Thank you!!

Often you can leave luggage in a hotel (even if you aren't staying there) for a few Euro. Just google hotels near Reinickendorf and ask them if you can leave luggage and how much it costs?

Looks like Gesundbrunnen might be your closest one.

Best answer: Can probably check in with baggage in the morning if the airport is not too far out of the way.

If you do leave it in lockers at a train station (I only know there is definitely lockers at Alexanderplatz) bring plenty of 1 and 2 euro coins, it will probably be 8€ a day for a large locker (and they aren't massive)

Yes... What Sammyo mentioned is also a great idea. Depending on the airline (and you need to check first) you might be able to drop your baggage (if you are checked in) well before your flight.

Don’t count on checking in early at TXL airport. We were there last week and couldn’t check in until an hour before our flight. It’s decentralized, with check-in close to the gates for each flight, rather than a large counter - or at least that’s how it worked for some flights / airlines.
