Berlin Brandenburg Airport to Berlin: Route and Drive Time
BER stands in Schönefeld, just beyond the south-eastern city boundary, and the drive into Berlin covers 25 km in 35–45 minutes. The car takes the A113 motorway towards the centre; once it leaves the motorway, the city streets decide how fast the rest goes.
Berlin has several centres, so the last kilometres differ a great deal. The exhibition grounds under the Funkturm are on the western side, about 31 km from the terminals and 35–45 minutes away, because the car has to cross or skirt the whole city to get there. The government district, in the bend of the Spree, lies between the airport road and the fair.
Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Name your terminal and the full address when you book; for the Messe, add the hall or the entrance you need.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at Berlin Brandenburg Airport
BER runs two terminals, and you can walk from one to the other. Terminal 1 is the main building, Ryanair operates mainly from Terminal 2, and the old Schönefeld building, later called Terminal 5, has closed for good. As a ticket can name either one, give your terminal in the booking and the car goes there.
On arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.
The scale of the airport explains the planning: in 2025 it counted 26.05 million passengers. A booked car takes you and the bags from the terminal to the address, without the change from the FEX airport express or a regional train.
Arriving at Your Address in Berlin
The federal government works from the bend of the Spree: the Reichstag and, on Willy-Brandt-Straße, the Federal Chancellery, with parliamentary offices on both banks of the river. Berlin Hauptbahnhof is a short drive away, which helps when part of a delegation continues by train.
In the west, the Messe has 26 connected halls with 160,000 m² of floor space, and next door the CityCube on Messedamm can take congresses of up to 11,000 participants spread over three levels. On a site of that size the hall number matters, so add it to the street address.
Inside the S-Bahn ring, roughly 88 km² of the inner city form a low-emission zone (Umweltzone), open to vehicles with a green sticker. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.
From Berlin Back to Berlin Brandenburg Airport
For the outbound run, think in drive time rather than clock time: 35–45 minutes from the centre on an ordinary day, and longer in the evening rush or during a trade fair. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Check which terminal your airline uses before you set off. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are close together, yet the car pulls up at one of them only, so the building printed on your ticket is the one to give.
The city adds its own peaks. From late November, more than 60 Christmas markets draw crowds into the centre, and the Berlinale, from 10 to 21 February 2027, fills hotels and cinemas across town. A juror or an exhibitor leaving on the last day can be collected at the festival venue or the CityCube instead of the hotel.
