About the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), Germany

About Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Germany

Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is the main international airport serving the German capital and surrounding regions. Opened in 2020, it replaced the former Tegel and Schönefeld airports and is located approximately 27 kilometres south of central Berlin. Hiring a car at Berlin Brandenburg Airport is the best way to explore the vibrant city of Berlin, as well as nearby regions such as Potsdam, Dresden, and even cross-border trips into Poland or the Czech Republic.

Airport facilities and services

BER consists of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, both offering modern infrastructure, free Wi-Fi, restaurants, cafés, duty-free shopping, family areas, business lounges, and accessibility services. There are several hotels near the terminals, including Steigenberger Airport Hotel and IntercityHotel Berlin Brandenburg Airport, offering convenience for travellers with overnight stays or early flights.

Transport to and from the airport

The airport is well connected to Berlin via the Airport Express (FEX), regional trains (RE7, RB14), S-Bahn lines (S9 and S45), as well as buses and taxis. While public transport is efficient, car hire is ideal for those planning to explore Germany’s northeast, the Baltic Sea coast, or picturesque routes through Saxony and Brandenburg.
