Blankenburg is a locality in Berlin's Pankow borough in the north-east of the city, rural in character around the old village centre of Alt-Blankenburg, Bahnhofstraße and the S-Bahn station. Between the village church, gardens and fields, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Blankenburg address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Blankenburg to BER
For the trip from Blankenburg to BER, enter your pickup address, date and time in the booking form and see the available vehicle classes with the total price before you book. Instead of travelling on the S-Bahn with several changes and your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Blankenburg lies in the north-east; the route runs via the eastern city ring and the A113 to BER in the south-east. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 40 to 55 minutes. This is guidance only – the real journey time depends on traffic on the day. See the full overview on Berlin airport transfer.
From BER back to Blankenburg
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Blankenburg address – whether a house in Alt-Blankenburg, an address on Bahnhofstraße or one in the residential settlements. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Because of the edge-of-city location in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to changing trains several times. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Blankenburg to BER?
Around the S-Bahn station and the village centre, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport. As an alternative to hailing a metered taxi on the street, you can pre-book a private transfer to or from BER: the price for your route and vehicle class is shown before you confirm, and the driver waits at the agreed address or at the airport. The transport is carried out by external, licensed transfer providers. Read more about booking an airport taxi to BER in advance.
