- flights
At the moment Berlin has two main airports, Berlin-Tegel and Berlin-Schönefeld.
The former is slightly closer to the centre but it’s easy to get into town from both. It’s worth mentioning that Tegel is scheduled to close some time in the future with Schönefeld being expanded into Berlin’s beleagured main airport and renamed Berlin Brandenburg International Airport.
Current predictions are 2019 but many believe this is still optimistic.
- DRIVING
Germans are known for two virtues: efficiency and punctuality, and the two are linked.
This applies to their effective BVG transport system, with trains, trams and buses which operate 24 hours a day (remember, Berlin is an all-night party city); a single-ride ticket starts at $1.75.
