Overview
- Both city administrations published program details on Monday, June 29, putting the new passes into circulation ahead of summer holidays that start on July 9.
- Berlin’s Super‑Ferien‑Pass is on sale now for €9 for young people up to 18 and centers on a Badekarte that gives free daily access to Berlin’s indoor and outdoor pools plus free or discounted entry to select museums, the planetarium and the botanical garden.
- Hamburg’s Ferienpass is free for 5‑ to 19‑year‑olds, lists more than 700 current offers including workshops, sports and trips to places like Amrum and Sylt, and will be distributed through schools, youth welfare offices, libraries and partner stores.
- Both programs run across multiple school holiday periods into 2027, but individual activities often require separate registration or fees and cities include targeted measures to help low‑income families secure discounted or free spots.
- Ferienpass schemes are long‑standing municipal tools in Germany to combine childcare, enrichment and low‑cost leisure, and this year’s early publication aims to give families time to plan for summer bookings and limited‑slot activities.
