Nikolassee is a locality in Berlin's Steglitz-Zehlendorf borough in the far south-west of the city, between the Grunewald, the Wannsee and the Havel. Between the villa colony, the lakeshores and the S-Bahn station, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Nikolassee address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Nikolassee to BER
For the trip from Nikolassee 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. Nikolassee lies in the far south-west; the route usually runs via the AVUS, 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 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 Nikolassee
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Nikolassee address – whether a villa by the Rehwiese, a house near the Wannsee or an address at the S-Bahn station. 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.

Around Nikolassee S-Bahn station and the lido, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around the S-Bahn station and the shoreline areas – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and excursion restaurants sit by the lido and the lakes; if you combine a beach day or excursion with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The lido and lakes also make the locality a destination in its own right.
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 south-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 addresses around the S-Bahn station are typical start and end points.
Nikolassee, Wannsee or Zehlendorf – which pickup address?
Nikolassee borders Wannsee to the south-west, Zehlendorf to the east and Grunewald to the north. South-west by the water begins Wannsee; east lies Zehlendorf. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
