British Airways has frequent flights to Berlin. Berlin flights touch down at Berlin Tegel Airport, five miles north-west of Berlin city centre. Once your flight has landed, it's a simple bus ride into central Berlin. British Airways runs regular direct London flights from Berlin. See how people risked their lives in flight from East Berlin at Checkpoint Charlie, then take a walk around trendy Mitte, stopping for liquid refreshment in bars and cafes en route.
After flights to Berlin Tegel Airport, hop on regular shuttle buses to reach U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations and central Berlin stops like Unter den Linden. If your Berlin flight arrives late or you have heavy luggage, jump in a metered taxi from outside the Flight Arrivals hall. The trip into central Berlin should take 15-20 minutes.
Take a whistle-stop tour of Berlin's iconic sights after Berlin flights arrive. See Berlin's Brandenburg Gate bathed gold at night or stop for Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and cake) on Berlin's shady main street Unter den Linden. Then whiz to the top of 1207-foot-high TV Tower Fernsehturm on Communist-era Alexanderplatz square. When you've ticked off Berlin's historic sights relax with a cold beer on the banks of the River Spree or in Berlin's evergreen Tiergarten park. Before return flights from Berlin, grab a local curry-flavoured currywurst sausage from an Imbiss stand or a kebab from Turkish-influenced Kreuzberg. Then cram your suitcase with designer fashion from Berlin's main shopping street, Kurfürstendamm.
