Reaching BER from central Berlin is straightforward, with several public transport options available including the Airport Express train, S-Bahn, regional buses, taxis, and ride-hailing services. Whether you are looking for speed, affordability, or convenience, there is a transfer option to suit every traveler departing from Berlin.
