Arrival

There are some flights to the city, Berlin. Arrival from the overseas have no direct facility to land, Landon is only the sole exception. Tourist can come to Berlin indirectly from the hub like Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris and Landon. Berlin has three airports. Tegel (TXL) primarily serves destinations within Germany and Western Europe. Schönefeld (SXF) mostly operates international flights to/from Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. The third airport is the central but tiny Tempelhof (THF) in southern Kreuzberg. It became famous as the main landing strip for Allied airlifts now fields many regional flights. Berlin is well-connected to the rest of Europe by long-distance bus. Most buses arrive at and depart from the ZOB (Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof), the central bus station, in Charlottenburg, opposite the stately Funkturm (radio tower). The German train system is justifiably known as the most efficient in Europe and connects Berlin with the rest of Germany and other European countries. Until completion of the main central station at Lehrter Bahnhof (currently projected for 2006), most trains will continue to go through Bahnhof Zoo in the western city centre (for destinations to the west of Berlin) and Ostbahnhof in the eastern centre.  The F10, shuttles between Kladow and Wannsee and making quite a scenic trip, and you can use regular public transport tickets to board it. The U/S Bahn is the most efficient way to travel around Berlin. There are 10 U-Bahn and 13 S-Bahn lines which operate from 04:00 to just after 24:00. Exceptions are the U1 and the U9 which operate a limited service (about two trains an hour) all night. Berlin's buses are rather slow, but comfortable. Bus stops are marked with a large 'H' and the name of the stop. Drivers sell tickets and can give change. The next stop is usually announced or displayed on a digital board. Driving in Berlin is easier than in most big cities, but it's no walk in the park, either.
