Taxi

Berlin airport taxis are available 24/7 right outside Terminal 1. They provide door-to-door convenience and comfort, perfect if you prefer a hassle-free ride. The distance to Berlin city center is 27 km (16.7 miles), and a taxi journey takes about 45 minutes. Estimated fare: €58 ($58).

Bus

Airport buses and shuttles connect BER with major hubs in Berlin and nearby areas. Both day and night routes are available. Tickets cost €4.40 ($4.40) for standard buses or €10 ($10) for BER2 express buses. This is the most affordable option, though journey times are longer than trains.

Train

Two railway stations serve the airport, offering regional, S-Bahn, and long-distance intercity trains. The fastest option is the new Airport Express Train (FEX), which takes only 30 minutes to Berlin city center. A one-way ticket costs €4.40 ($4.40) for adults. Trains also connect BER to Dresden, Rostock, and other cities.

Private Transfers

If you value comfort and personalized service, book a private airport transfer. A driver will meet you at Arrivals, help with your luggage, and take you directly to your accommodation. Pre-booking ensures a fixed price and peace of mind.

Car Rentals

Car hire at BER is a great option if you want flexibility and independence during your trip. Multiple car rental agencies are available at the airport, offering vehicles from compact cars to family vans.
