Most international visitors arrive in Berlin via Tegel "Otto Lilienthal" Airport (TXL) or Schönefeld Airport (SXF). Both airports offer extensive flight connections to destinations around the world. From the airport, you can reach the city center via taxi, express bus services, or by renting a car. Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt (BER) is set to become the single airport serving Berlin, eventually replacing the older airports once it becomes fully operational.
Berlin is well-connected to the rest of Germany and international destinations via its railway network. The main train stations are Hauptbahnhof (the central station), Ostbahnhof, and Südkreuz. From these stations, you can catch S-Bahn (city trains), U-Bahn (subway), trams, and buses to get to various parts of the city.
Long-distance buses arrive at Berlin's central bus station, Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof (ZOB). It is well-served by public transportation, making it easy to reach your final destination in the city.
If you're driving to Berlin, the city is surrounded by the Autobahn, Germany’s highway system, which connects it to all major cities in Germany and neighboring countries. Be mindful of the "Umweltzone" or environmental zone in the city center, where only vehicles with a special sticker indicating low emissions are allowed.
