Sightseeing
Berlin is more than 775 years old and over the decades, all generations have left their monuments and landmarks in town. The densest array of sights in Berlin lies east of the Brandenburg Gate, on either side of Unter den Linden. In the city west visitors should take a look at the broken shard of the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche, which serves as a brutal reminder of World War II. Close by starts the famous boulevard Kurfürstendamm.

Airport Berlin Brandenburg


Airport BER
The new main airport for Berlin and the capital region.

The full name of our airport in English is: Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt. Willy Brandt was an important German politician. He was also Chancellor of Germany. The Chancellor is the head of the German government.

The Berlin Brandenburg Airport is located in Brandenburg on the city limits in the south of Berlin. After years of construction delay, the major airport fam opens on October 31, 2020.

The BER is the major airport for the Berlin and Brandenburg metropolitan area. BER is located in the state of Brandenburg, on the southern border with Berlin.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport has three terminals. The terminals are called: T1, T2 and T5. You can depart and arrive at all three terminals.

Terminals 1 and 2 are next to each other and are easy to reach on foot. Terminal 5 was Berlin-Schönefeld Airport. Terminal 5 is now part of Berlin Brandenburg Airport. You cannot walk to Terminal 5. You must travel by bus or train. 

BER is very well connected to public transport in Berlin and surrounding areas. The Airport Express (FEX) and regional trains (RE7, RB14) travel between Berlin central station and “Flughafen BER - Terminal 1-2” station several times per hour. The S9 and S45 S-Bahn trains travel every 20 minutes, serving the “Terminal 1-2” and “Terminal 5” stations. Buses are also available.

Transport connection by train

Berlin Brandenburg Airport has a railway station with several platforms directly under the terminal. Regional trains, S-Bahn trains and an IC train stop here. The Airport Express connects BER Airport with the city centre of Berlin. For example, you can take a train from the main station of Berlin (Hauptbahnhof).


Transport connection by car

BER can also be reached via the "Schönefeld-Süd" junction and the B96a. More than 10,000 parking spaces will be available to passengers and visitors at BER.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT


With a valid ticket, ticket holders have access to all public transport in Berlin: S-Bahn, U-Bahn, buses, trams and ferries. The fare depends on the tariff zone and the ticket's period of validity. Berlin is divided into three tariff zones: AB, BC und ABC. Tariff zone AB includes the urban area to the city boundary. Zone ABC additionally includes Berlin's surrounding area and Potsdam Hauptbahnhof.
 
Tickets can be purchased at multilingual ticket machines on the platforms of S-and U-Bahn stations. In buses, fares are paid to the bus driver, in trams at machines inside the trains. In larger stations the S-Bahn and BVG provide ticket counters. Before the journey starts tickets must be validated by stamping them at the yellow or red boxes on the platforms, in buses or trams. In case of inspection, a ticket that is not stamped is invalid. Anyone caught in public transportion without a valid ticket must pay a higher fare of 60 Euros. Even people who forgot to stamp their ticket must pay the fine. Note: Ticket inspectors are dressed in plain clothes and will not make any exceptions for tourists. Those who get caught have to show an ID, otherwise the police will be called.
 
A single fare ticket (Einzelfahrschein) is valid for one person and a two hour journey through the city. Note: It is not allowed to travel towards the direction of the starting point. For that purpose a new single-ticket must be purchased.
