Spandau is a locality in the borough of the same name in the west of Berlin, at the confluence of the Havel and the Spree. Between the historic old town, the citadel and the residential areas around Berlin-Spandau station, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Spandau address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Spandau to BER
For the trip from Spandau 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 regional and S-Bahn trains with your luggage at Spandau station, you travel door to door to the terminal. Spandau lies in the far west, right across the city from BER in the south-east; depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 45 to 70 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 Spandau
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Spandau address – whether a flat in the old town, a house in the Wasserstadt or an address by the Rathaus Spandau. 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 Spandau to BER?
Around the old town and Spandau station, 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 a Berlin airport taxi in advance.

What makes Spandau distinctive
The Spandau Citadel is one of the best-preserved Renaissance fortresses in Europe; its Julius Tower (Juliusturm) is considered one of the oldest buildings in Berlin. Spandau old town, with its pedestrian zone, the Gothic Nikolaikirche and the Gothic House, is among the best-preserved historic town centres in the city. Spandau sits at the confluence of the Havel and the Spree; riverside paths such as the Lindenufer shape the setting. The transport hub is Berlin-Spandau station, with long-distance, regional and S-Bahn services and the U7 terminus at Rathaus Spandau. To the north, the Wasserstadt is a newer residential quarter on the Havel. Further background is in the sources below.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses concentrate around the old town and Spandau station – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and restaurants are found in the old-town pedestrian zone and along the Lindenufer; if you combine a visit to the citadel or an appointment with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The Havel riverside paths 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 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 Rathaus Spandau and the station are typical start and end points.
Spandau, Haselhorst or Wilhelmstadt – which pickup address?
The Spandau locality borders Haselhorst to the east, Wilhelmstadt to the south and the Falkenhagener Feld to the north-west. East of the Havel begins Haselhorst; south of the old town lies Wilhelmstadt. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
