Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip, note that general parking in downtown Berlin's municipal and surface facilities is generally free of charge for patrons and visitors. Drivers staying overnight during winter months should be mindful of the City of Berlin's seasonal winter parking regulations (effective from late November through March 31), which may mandate alternate-side parking or temporary restrictions to accommodate snow plows. For exact navigation, set your GPS directly to 115 S Wisconsin St; look for the entrance immediately south of Huron Street behind the downtown commercial row.
