Getting From Schoenefeld Airport to Central Berlin?

Question

Hi - Im going to belin in may and need to know how to get from the airport to Mitte's Backpackers Hostel Chausseestr. 102
10115 Berlin, Germany

Any info would be great

Answer 1

I can't be more accurate than another answerer but here's some more info I hope you'll find useful.

Shoenefeld airport has a lot of walking built in.

The railway station is 5 mins walk from the airport terminal. There is a semi-covered footpath but if you have a big load there is also a shuttle bus. If you're travelling by Squeezy Jet or RyanAir you will need the walk.

You will need to use the subway to get to your platform at the station. Make sure you have the right platform. The RE trains are the red double dekkers, smoking is upstairs but that is rapidly being curtailed.
The Berlin Welcome Card (travelcard) is valid on the RE trains (and busses, S & U Bahn). Buy it from the BVG desk in the airport and validate it at the station before you ride.
Train ride is about 20 minutes.

Where you want is about 20 mins stroll north from Freidrichstrasse SBhf.

When you dismount at Zinnowitserstrasse toddle along Invalidenstrasse about 200 metres and visit the Natural History Museum. It's really rather good.

In and near Chausseetrasse are the best Indian Restaurants in the city. Don't bother looking elsewhere. You will soon understand that the Berliners don't have a good grounding in curry restaurants.

Answer 2

Berlin offers an modern mix of new and common architecture, active activity, shopping, and a wide selection of activities and social institutions and if you want to see after that it this hotelbye is the spot to start. A number of the points you can see here are: the Old Museum, the National Gallery, the Bode Museum, Old National Gallery or, the mark of Germany, the Berlin Wall. That wall started his living in 1961 when East Germany closed off the western part of the town to base the flood of refugees from east to west. By the full time it was divided down in 1989, the 4 meter high wall and 155 kilometres extended, dissected 55 streets, and possessed 293 observation towers and 57 bunkers. Nowadays, only small extends with this graffiti-covered travesty remain, including a 1.4-kilometer expand maintained within the Berlin Wall Memorial, a chilling memory of the animosity that when split Europe.

Answer 3

Schoenefeld Airport To Mitte

Answer 4

Take a train (S9 line of the S-Bahn or AirportExpress) from Schönefeld Airport railway station to Berlin-Friedrichstraße station. Change here to the U6 line of the U-Bahn (underground) and travel two stations north to Zinnowitzer Straße. The hostel is two minutes' walk north of the station along Chausseestraße.

Answer 5

Hi, just wanted to add that you might not want to buy the "welcome to berlin" train ticket package. I think its over priced. The ticket you need to travel from the airport to your hostel is called an AB ticket. It costs 2.10 euro. You can buy it from a ticket machine on the platform where you catch the train. The ticket is good for 2 hours and you can take the train, subway, bus, and trolley with it for 1 journey. You don't have to show your ticket to anyone. Just buy it and put it in your pocket. Its on the honor system. (occasionaly someone will board the train and ask to see your ticket but its pretty rare, happens to me about once a month).

Answer 6

Yeh, what he said above, the airport is about 12 miles Southeast of the center of Berlin....Like your avatar you look like Dr.Z. The transport system is great but after a long flight I just take a cab and crash and learn the system the next day...
