Public transport Map of Berlin and Potsdam

Arriving

By plane

You should generally find getting to Berlin by plane a straightforward experience. Berlin has non-stop connections to most major European cities, in addition to key cities in the U.S.

Berlin has two airpots: Berlin Tegel (TXL) for most airlines and Berlin Schönefeld (SXF) for a few cheaper airlines.

Taxis from the airports

Of the two airports, the eurucamp venue is located almost equally far away to both airports. It takes about 40 minutes from Schönefeld (38 km) by car/taxi. From Tegel (27 km) you need approximately 30 minutes with taxi/car to our venue. Just show the address to your driver:

Universität Potsdam
August-Bebel-Straße 89
14482 Potsdam-Griebnitzsee

Berlin is also a centre of the central European rail network. Direct train connections exist to many German and Eastern European metropoles. Exit your train at the main station (Berlin-Hauptbahnhof).
