Karlshorst is a locality in Berlin's Lichtenberg borough in the south-east of the city, a quiet villa and residential area with the German-Russian Museum, the trotting racecourse and a university campus. Between the Prinzenviertel, Treskowallee and the addresses near the Spree, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Karlshorst address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Karlshorst to BER
For the trip from Karlshorst 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 changing trains with your luggage on the S-Bahn, you travel door to door to the terminal. Karlshorst lies in the south-east with good access via the A113 towards BER; depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 30 to 45 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 Karlshorst
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Karlshorst address – whether a villa in the Prinzenviertel, a flat on Treskowallee or an address near Karlshorst station. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. In the quiet residential streets in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to changing trains. See how the BER airport pickup works.
