Welcome back to FEWO PARTNERS! Today, we want to provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to get from our holiday apartments Bella Donna and California Dreaming to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) stress-free and efficiently. Our personal experience demonstrates how simple and convenient the journey can be, whether you choose a taxi, Uber, or public transportation.
Relaxed Travel Planning
At our holiday apartments Bella Donna and California Dreaming, your vacation starts the moment you arrive. Both accommodations are ideally located for a quick and easy trip to BER Airport. On our last trip, we tested the route ourselves and want to share our experiences and tips with you.
The Way to the Airport
Taxi or Uber: Fast and Comfortable
For those who value comfort and speed, we recommend using a taxi or Uber. We hailed a taxi directly from the apartment and were at the airport terminal within about 15 minutes. The cost for this relaxed journey was around 30 euros – a worthwhile investment to arrive stress-free and on time.
Parking Options Nearby
If you’re traveling by car and need a safe place to park during your trip, there are several affordable or even free parking options in the area. You can park conveniently along Neubauernstraße. Alternatively, the A10 Center also offers parking spaces. For added security, there are designated parking areas in Wildau or Königs Wusterhausen that are easily accessible.
The Return Trip: Easy and Convenient
The return journey from BER to our holiday apartments is also smooth. Within about 15 minutes, you’ll be back in your comfortable accommodation. Whether you opt for a taxi or Uber again or switch to public transportation – both options are quick and hassle-free.
Public Transportation: Flexible and Affordable
BER Airport is well-connected to the public transport network. The S-Bahn line S9 takes you directly to the city center, from where you can continue to our holiday apartments. The S-Bahn stations Wildau and Königs Wusterhausen are ideally located and offer regular connections to the airport. The fare for a one-way trip is about 3.80 euros, making public transport a cost-effective alternative.
BER Airport: Facts and Insights
Berlin Brandenburg Airport, also known as BER, has a long and turbulent history. Originally planned to replace the busy Tegel Airport and the small Schönefeld Airport, BER became a symbol of construction delays and cost overruns.
Construction Time and Costs
Construction of the airport began in 2006 and was originally slated for completion in 2011. However, due to numerous technical issues, planning errors, and financial difficulties, the opening was repeatedly postponed. Eventually, BER was inaugurated in October 2020 – nine years later than planned. The initial estimated cost of 2.5 billion euros soared to about 6.5 billion euros.
Infrastructure and Capacity
Today, BER is a modern and well-equipped airport capable of handling up to 27 million passengers annually. The airport has three terminals: T1 and T2 are located in the main building, while T5 (the former Schönefeld Airport) is situated a bit further away. The airport offers numerous shops, restaurants, and lounges to make your wait for your flight pleasant.
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
Another important topic is the airport’s sustainability. BER employs modern technologies and concepts to minimize its ecological footprint. A significant portion of its energy needs is met by renewable sources, and extensive noise reduction measures are in place for the surrounding communities.
Conclusion: A Stress-Free Start to Your Vacation
Whether you travel by taxi, Uber, or public transport – the route to and from BER Airport is straightforward and efficient. Our holiday apartments Bella Donna and California Dreaming provide the perfect starting point for your journey, ensuring you begin your trip relaxed and stress-free.
