Weißensee is a locality in Berlin's Pankow borough in the north-east of the city, named after the Weißer See lake with its park. Between the Composers' Quarter, Berliner Allee and the addresses around Antonplatz, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Weißensee address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Weißensee to BER
For the trip from Weißensee 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 tram and S-Bahn with your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Weißensee lies in the north-east; the route usually runs via the city ring and the A113 towards BER. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 35 to 50 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 Weißensee
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Weißensee address – whether a flat in the Composers' Quarter, a house by the Weißer See or an address on Berliner Allee. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. As Weißensee has no direct U-Bahn connection, a fixed pickup with a name sign is an especially plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Weißensee to BER?
Around Antonplatz and Berliner Allee, 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 Weißensee distinctive
The locality is named after the Weißer See with its park and lido, a popular leisure spot.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around Berliner Allee and Antonplatz – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and restaurants sit at Antonplatz and around the Weißer See; if you combine a day at the lake with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The Weißer See also makes 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. Without a direct U-Bahn connection 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 on Berliner Allee are typical start and end points.

Weißensee borders Pankow to the west, Prenzlauer Berg to the south-west and Hohenschönhausen to the east. West of Berliner Allee begins Pankow; south of the ring railway lies Prenzlauer Berg. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
