It's finally here! After what felt like 147 years of construction, Berlin has its shiny new airport. BER – or, as the locals fondly call it: the airport that was actually supposed to open back in 2011. But hey, good things take time, and now Berlin Brandenburg Airport connects us with over 180 destinations worldwide. Not bad for an airport that was at one point traded as Germany's most expensive car park!
From Berlin out into the world – and back
BER is more than just an airport – it's Berlin's promise to the world: we can be on time too! With over 25 million passengers in 2024, BER Airport has developed into a genuine hub. From here you can reach practically every European metropolis in under three hours of flight time. Rome for breakfast, Paris for lunch and currywurst on the Kudamm in the evening? No problem!
Getting to BER: An adventure in itself
Now for the exciting part: how do you actually get to BER? The airport is conveniently located in Schönefeld – so exactly where there used to be an airport already. Clever, right? The distance to Berlin Mitte is about 30 kilometres, which, depending on traffic and your chosen Berlin airport transfer, can take anywhere between 30 minutes and what feels like three hours.
The options at a glance
The S-Bahn: for anyone who wants the real Berlin feeling. Nothing says welcome to Berlin like a delayed S9 with a broken air conditioner in the height of summer. But hey, for under 4 euros you'll get there eventually! Our taxi to BER gets you safely to your destination.
The taxi to BER Airport: the classic option. Your taxi driver is guaranteed to share his opinion on the current state of the world during the ride – free of charge! The transfer from BER into the city centre costs around 60 to 80 euros, depending on whether you're heading to Mitte or Spandau.
The Berlin airport shuttle: the golden middle ground between adventure and comfort. A private airport transfer to BER takes you straight to your hotel door – no changing trains, no lugging suitcases, no unplanned city tour courtesy of the taxi driver. The taxi to BER is the relaxed solution for your journey.
Why BER is more than just an airport
The new capital airport is a masterpiece of German engineering – just with a little delay. But let's be honest: what would Berlin be without a bit of chaos? BER even has its own train station right underneath the terminal. Revolutionary!
Fun facts about BER: the baggage belts are 47 kilometres long, there are 25,000 parking spaces and the tower is 72 metres tall.
The best flight connections from BER
From your airport transfer to BER to check-in takes just a few minutes, and then Europe is open to you:
Barcelona – 2.5 hours: swap currywurst for tapas! The transfer to BER probably takes longer than the flight.
London – 2 hours: from a city that doesn't know what a functioning underground is, to a city that does.
Amsterdam – 1.5 hours: even more bikes than in Berlin? Challenge accepted!
Rome – 2 hours: from döner to pizza in record time. The Berlin airport transfer to BER is your first step into the dolce vita!
Tips for your BER transfer
After years of watching stressed tourists with Google Maps in one hand and a suitcase in the other, here are our insider tips:
Allow enough time
The cheap airport transfer to BER by S-Bahn may be tempting, but bear in mind: Murphy's Law applies twice over in Berlin. The S-Bahn won't run precisely when you need it most.
Book in advance
Booking an airport transfer to BER is like buying concert tickets – last minute gets expensive and stressful. A pre-booked BER shuttle service waits for you, even if your flight is delayed.
Location matters
An airport transfer BER Mitte is shorter than a transfer BER Spandau. Sounds logical, but it's easily forgotten when you have to get to the airport at 3 in the morning.
Group transfers pay off
Travelling with family or friends? A group transfer to BER is often cheaper than four individual S-Bahn tickets – and definitely more relaxing!
The BER verdict: it was worth it
Berlin Brandenburg Airport may have been a difficult birth, but now it's here – modern, efficient and mostly on time. With the right BER airport shuttle you'll arrive relaxed and can focus on what really matters: duty-free shopping and the debate over whether 100 ml of liquid is really enough.
Whether you prefer a private airport transfer to BER or dare to take on the S-Bahn adventure – Berlin welcomes you with open arms.
Final pro tip: the early bird books its BER transfer online. That way your Berlin adventure, or your journey out into the wider world, starts completely stress-free. Because let's be honest: there's plenty of excitement in Berlin already – the way to the airport doesn't need to add to it!
