Grunewald is a locality in Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough in the west of the city, shaped by the large Grunewald forest, the lakes and an upmarket villa colony. Between the forest edge, waterside areas and the quiet villa streets, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Grunewald address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Grunewald to BER
For the trip from Grunewald 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. Grunewald lies in the west; the route usually runs via the 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 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 Grunewald
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Grunewald address – whether a villa at Hagenplatz, a house near the Grunewaldsee or an address on Koenigsallee. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Because of the longer ride across the city 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 Grunewald to BER?
Around Hagenplatz and the Grunewaldsee, 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.

What makes Grunewald distinctive
The defining feature is the Grunewald, Berlin's largest woodland, with the Grunewaldsee and the Grunewald hunting lodge, the oldest surviving palace in Berlin with a painting collection. A striking point is the Teufelsberg, a hill raised from wartime rubble with a former listening station, beside the Teufelssee. The Grunewald villa colony around Hagenplatz is among the most exclusive residential areas in Berlin. At Grunewald station, the Track 17 memorial recalls the deportation of Jewish Berliners.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly on the edges towards the City West and Halensee – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and excursion restaurants sit by the Grunewaldsee and the forest edge; if you combine a walk in the forest or a museum visit with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The forest and lakes make the locality one of Berlin's greenest destinations.
Families, groups and business travellers
Travelling as a group, everyone stays together in one vehicle, from a business car to a minibus for larger parties. On the longer ride from the west in particular, 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 villa and business addresses around Koenigsallee are typical start and end points.
Grunewald, Westend or Schmargendorf – which pickup address?
Grunewald borders Westend to the north, Schmargendorf to the east and Halensee to the north-east. North towards the exhibition grounds begins Westend; east towards Roseneck lies Schmargendorf. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
