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.
