Wittenau is a locality in Berlin's Reinickendorf borough in the north of the city, around Alt-Wittenau and the Wittenau transport hub with its S-Bahn and U-Bahn. Between the old village core, the residential neighbourhoods and the large hospital site, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Wittenau address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Wittenau to BER
For the trip from Wittenau 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 S-Bahn and U-Bahn with your luggage at the Wittenau hub, you travel door to door to the terminal. Wittenau lies in the north; the route usually runs via the city ring and the A113 heading south. 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 Wittenau
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Wittenau address – whether a flat in Alt-Wittenau, a house by the Nordgraben or an address near Wilhelmsruher Damm. 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.
