Getting Around in Berlin

Most visitors arrive in Berlin via one of its three airports – either Tegel, Schonefeld or Tempelhof.

Tegel is the most user-friendly airport as it offers plenty of ways to get in to town. A taxi will set you back around £13 but it’s far cheaper to get the train, a local bus service or the Airport Express, which will whiz you to the centre of the city in around 30 minutes.

Schonefeld is where most charter planes fly to and also has an Airport Express service, several bus routes and rail links. Taxi rides to the city cost roughly £19.

And Tempelhof is Berlin’s smallest airport so your transport options here are more limited. Trains run from here to central Berlin and taxis cost in the region of £10.

Once in the city, visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to transport options. The S-Bahn (overland railway) and U-Bahn (underground railway) will get you to most of the attractions quickly, safely and cheaply.

There are three fare zones – A (which is mainly the city centre), B (which ends at the city limits) and C (which includes Berlin’s immediate surroundings.

There is also an excellent bus and streetcar network spanning the entire city and a number of efficient night buses and trains.

If you’re in Berlin for more than a couple of days, it’s well worth investing in a WelcomeCard, which gives you unlimited travel for a set fee.
