Plan the connection in advance
This page focuses on the specific route from Dahlem: pickup at a home, office, hotel or other agreed address, followed by a direct journey to the airport.
Dahlem - a district steeped in history, culture and knowledge. It is home to renowned institutes, museums and the Freie Universität. But anyone travelling from this green and quiet south-west of Berlin to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) knows the score: the route is long, the connections are numerous and your patience runs out quickly. Instead of hauling your suitcases onto the U-Bahn, there is a more comfortable solution: a direct airport transfer.
Why public transport becomes a test of nerves here
From Dahlem, BER is reachable by bus and train - but the journey is a hassle. The U3 or U9, then on with the S-Bahn or the regional train, and at least one change at Südkreuz or Ostkreuz. Anyone travelling with several suitcases, children or a laptop bag knows the chaos. Long walks through stations, cramped lifts, and sometimes no escalators at all. That can really spoil the start of a holiday or a business trip.
Taxi or ride service? Not always the best idea
A taxi or an app like UBER sounds like a comfortable alternative. But the long distance from Dahlem to BER makes the whole thing expensive - especially when there is a traffic jam on the city motorway on top of it. With app services it is also a gamble: drivers cancel at short notice, prices fluctuate depending on demand, and the waiting time can drag on. For a predictable trip, those are too many uncertainties.
The relaxed solution: airport transfer
With a pre-booked airport transfer from Dahlem, the journey begins stress-free. The driver picks you up at the address of your choice - whether at the Botanical Garden, near the Domäne Dahlem or right at the university. Your luggage fits comfortably, the vehicle is air-conditioned, and you are driven right up to the terminal without any detours. No dashing to the U-Bahn, no dragging luggage across platforms, no unpredictable costs.
Here is how simple it works
Booking takes just a few clicks: enter address and time, done. You can pay flexibly: via Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal - payment is made exclusively by credit card or Klarna. Transparent, fast and without hurdles.
From Dahlem out into the world
At BER, connections in every direction await you: business trips to Frankfurt, Zurich or Amsterdam, family holidays to Spain, Greece or Turkey, or long-haul journeys to America and Asia. With an airport transfer you arrive on time and relaxed exactly where your big journey begins.
Now cross the pedestrian path and go to Meeting Point number 3, which is located centrally between the two points. That is the fixed pick-up spot.
How to start your journey the right way
Dahlem stands for calm, science and culture - and your ride to the airport should be just as calm and easygoing. No wandering around on Berlin's public transport, no nerve-racking experiments with taxis or apps. Instead: get in, take a breath, arrive. With an airport transfer Dahlem-BER, your journey begins the way it should be - stress-free and relaxed.
How long does the journey from Dahlem to BER take?
