We only used the Berlin WelcomeCard for public transportation and it is well worth its price. Surely many of the sights are a short distance apart so you would spend a lot of time walking. With public transport this is just a bit faster.
We mostly took the bus, but also the S-bahn or U-bahn. We used google maps to find the right connections and they are very accurate. We booked tickets for zone ABC because we also did the airport transport by public transport as well as a visit to Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
Just be sure to print out the codes on paper when you buy, because you have to show them at inspection (this only happened once).

We only used public transport several times. We did not take advantage of any discounts for other events.
We didn't have any negative experiences so far, except that as non-Berliners we had a bit of trouble finding the right public transport connections. However, this also has to do with the many construction sites and corresponding cancellations of transport connections.

Didn't realise we wouldn't get a discount for the main museums like Neues. Didn't need to travel that much so in the end only a little bit of value for our money. Audioguide 1st description was as expected, but after that it would auto play the next without showing where the subject of that explanation was. Like the aquarium close to townhall or the rabbits close to Gedächtnichtskirche.

I purchased a 3 day Berlin Welcome Card. I first used it to travel from Berlin Airport to Berlin Hauptbahnhof. A Train Conductor went through the train checking tickets. I had mine on my mobile - absolutely no hassle. NB:You don't need to validate the Berlin Welcome Card ticket. I then used the card over the next 2 days throughout Berlin and as far as Potsdam on various forms of public transport. I received substantial discounts at the Barberini Museum in Potsdam and the Berlin TV Tower Observation Deck along with other museums. The convenience was fantastic because you don't have to keep buying separate tickets for each trip. It paid for itself in no time. I'd thoroughly recommend buying it online before you arrive in Berlin. Just put the dates you intend to travel. it was easy to buy and the ticket was emailed to me immediately.

The discount on various museums is ideal, also the "free" public transport travel makes it easy to see much of Berlin. However, the ordering did not go to plan; it was reported that after ordering your card , you would receive another email with your voucher in pdf file. However, we never received this one.

The all inclusive public transport is great. But you can get that on it's own. The Berlin welcome card part was useless. Website is horrible, it's impossible to easily figure out what's included, the paged interface makes it impossible to search, and the way it's indicated is very confusing. In the end we didn't get any price reduction in the places we visited

It was just a short trip and introduction to Berlin. The card is easy if you stay longer and want to visit many museums, very easy for public transportation though. The directions to acctivate the card are not clear. There are no vending machines or anything at the public transport stops to acctivate your card and it appears that if you have the PDF letter that you are automatically already activated at the desired date and time.

It was nice not to have to worry about tickets for the metro. However I'm not sure it was worth it for the price. I would recommend if people make a plan to do a lot of discounted things and visit all the museums on museum island. However for me and how much I used it, I'm not sure it was really worth it.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my recent ticket purchase. My issue is very simple: Where are my QR codes? The tickets provided by your system clearly lacks the required QR code, rendering it invalid. Upon arriving at the service center at Berlin Airport, I was informed that the ticket provided by your system is invalid because it is missing the QR code. This caused significant delays to my schedule, and I had no choice but to purchase another ticket, which is completely unacceptable. Despite contacting customer service multiple times, all I received was confirmation that my payment was successful. However, this does nothing to address the real issue. If your company cannot provide a valid ticket, why is payment even being accepted? This is highly irresponsible and has caused major inconvenience and financial loss. I demand an immediate explanation for why my ticket lacked a QR code. I also request a full refund and compensation for the inconvenience and additional costs I incurred.

Then, select a city card offering access to the public transport network in the AB tariff zone. However, if you have more time to explore the city and its outskirts, including the city of Potsdam, opt for a city card with public transport access in the ABC tariff zones.
