Getting Around¶

Public Transportation¶

Berlin is easy to navigate thanks to the city’s extensive network of light-rail trains (S-Bahn), regional trains (RB), metro (U-Bahn), buses, and trams.

Berlin’s public transport network is split into three zones:

Zone A covers the city center
Zone B covers the area from outside the city center to the city limits
Zone C covers surrounding towns in Brandenburg

The venue and all major train stations are in zone A. BER airport is in zone C.

The local public transport company, BVG, operates U-Bahn, buses, and trams. S-Bahn and RB are operated by Deutsche Bahn.

The following bus and U-Bahn stops are located within a 15-minute walk from the venue:

Bus
