Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is the main international gateway to the German capital, opened in October 2020 to replace the former Tegel and Schönefeld airports. Located around 18 km south-east of central Berlin, it handles in the region of 25 million passengers a year and serves as a base for a wide range of full-service and low-cost carriers across Europe and beyond.
The airport has two operational terminals. Terminal 1 is the main building, handling the majority of airlines, while Terminal 2 sits directly alongside it and is used at busy periods. The former Schönefeld terminal operates as Terminal 5 and may open seasonally. All terminals are within walking distance or a short shuttle ride of one another.
The airport train station sits directly beneath Terminal 1. The Airport Express (FEX), along with regional and S-Bahn services, connects to Berlin Hauptbahnhof and the city centre in around 30 minutes. Taxis and ride-hailing services reach central Berlin in 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, and several bus routes serve the surrounding area.
Several hotels sit within minutes of the terminals, making them ideal for early departures, late arrivals or layovers. Airport hotels here typically offer shuttle access or a short walk to check-in, soundproofed rooms and parking, with options ranging from budget to upscale.
