Pankow is a locality in the borough of the same name in the north of Berlin, around Breite Straße, the Bürgerpark and the Pankow transport hub with its S-Bahn and U-Bahn. Between old apartment neighbourhoods, the town hall and the green spaces along the Panke, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Pankow address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Pankow to BER
For the trip from Pankow 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 between the U2 and the S-Bahn with your luggage at the Pankow hub, you travel door to door to the terminal. Pankow lies in the north; 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 55 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 Pankow
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Pankow address – whether an old flat on Florapromenade, a flat on Breite Straße or a house by the Bürgerpark. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. After a long flight 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 Pankow to BER?
Around Breite Straße and Pankow station, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport.
