How to come to Berlin edit

Berlin has two main airports: Tegel and Schönefeld. Depending on your city of departure and flight company, you will land in one of these. Tegel is closer to the city and you will reach the venue in about 40min, when Schönefeld is more distant and you may need around 1 hour in public transport to reach the venue.

The main international train station is Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Central Station).

You can also come to Berlin by bus, using one of the long-trip bus companies. Several stops are possible: if possible, we advise you to arrive at Südkreuz station, where the train lines S2 and S25 will take you in 5 minutes to Anhalter Bahnhof, very close to the venue, or Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) where the bus M41 will take you in 10 minutes to the venue.
