Berlin Transport

Coming and Going

There are few direct flights to Berlin; you will usually be routed there through a larger hub like Frankfurt or Amsterdam. Buses, however, connect Berlin with most European cities, and the train system is characteristically efficient.

In the eastern sections of the city you can take sleek new trams. Driving is possible, but probably not advisable considering the plethora of public transport options.
