The Brandenburger Vorstadt is a district in the west of Potsdam's inner city, between Luisenplatz, Brandenburger Straße and Park Sanssouci. Between period buildings, green spaces and the proximity to the World Heritage site, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your address in the Brandenburger Vorstadt and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Brandenburger Vorstadt to BER
For the trip from the Brandenburger Vorstadt 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 by tram and regional train with several changes and your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. The district lies south-west of Berlin; the route runs via the A115 and the Berlin ring (A10) as well as the A113 to BER. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 45 to 60 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 Brandenburger Vorstadt
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your address in the Brandenburger Vorstadt – whether a period flat on Gutenbergstraße, an address on Luisenplatz or one near Park Sanssouci. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. With luggage 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 Brandenburger Vorstadt to BER?
Around Luisenplatz and Brandenburger Straße, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport.

What makes the Brandenburger Vorstadt distinctive
The Brandenburger Vorstadt is a densely built, period-era district between the inner city and the park. On its eastern edge stands Potsdam's Brandenburg Gate on Luisenplatz. To the west the district borders Park Sanssouci directly, whose main entrance, the Grünes Gitter, is here. It is shaped by the period streets around Gutenbergstraße with cafés and shops. Its proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage site makes the district special. Further background is in the sources below.

Travelling as a group, everyone stays together in one vehicle, from a business car to a minibus for larger parties. On the way from Potsdam to the airport, one vehicle for everyone pays off. The booking system shows which vehicle class is available for your passenger count and luggage; for larger groups see the Berlin airport minibus for groups. For business travellers, the addresses on Luisenplatz are typical start and end points.

The Brandenburger Vorstadt borders the Potsdam city centre to the east, Potsdam-West to the west and the Jägervorstadt to the north. East begins the centre; west lies Potsdam-West. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
