Parking outside the green zone

We%26#39;re driving to Berlin tomorrow from Poland, and just came across the information about the need for a green sticker to driver/park in the centre. Since these have to be pre-ordered, it%26#39;s too late for us to do this, so it looks like we%26#39;ll need to park outside the centre and use public transport.

Since the car is a late-model BMW, my friend is concerned about security. Can anyone recommend a safe place to park on the east side of Berlin, outside the central zone? It would preferably be adjacent to a U/S-bahn or DB station.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

The Umweltzone covers the area within the Ringbahn. You could park at Südkreuz station which has DB and S-Bahn connections, and two very large indoor parking garages.

Try the parking lots near the Landsberger Allee S Bahn station. It is just outside the %26quot;Ring%26quot; and has good public transportation possibilities

I%26#39;ve been looking at the BVG route map, and it indicates that some stations have Park %26amp; Ride lots (for example, Friedrichshagen or Wuhletal). Does anyone know if you can leave cars overnight in such lots (e.g. from Friday night until Sunday afternoon?)

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

Hi,

My wife and I are driving to Berlin this weekend and also need an umweltplakette.

Is it posible to by one before we go or can we buy one in Germany/Berlin?

We live in Denmark and are driving over Hamburg to Berlin.

Thanks in advance

Ok... a little googeling gave the answer.

The umweltplakette can be bought at vehicle inspection stations in Denmark.

Perhaps the same can be done in Poland?
