BY AIR

Tegel International Airport (TXL) located in the north-west of the city is the main airport for international carriers (British Airways, Air France-KLM, United, LOT, etc.) and a hub for domestic flights on Lufthansa and Air Berlin. The original airport was designed as a hexagon but today two other terminals try to handle the flights of Air Berlin (most flights in Terminal C) and other budget carriers (mostly in terminal D). All flag carrier flights leave from the main terminal building A (Terminal B nowadays contains just the bus gates of Terminal A for Non-Schengen flights), and is also where all airlines lounges are.

BY TRAIN

Berlin is served by ICE, InterCity and EuroCity trains by the national German train corporation Deutsche Bahn (DB) which offers connections between Berlin and other German and major European cities.
Night trains from Amsterdam, Zurich, Vienna and Budapest run every day. Booked in advance they can be as cheap as €29. Popular with backpackers so reservations are strongly recommended.
Long-haul trains from Eastern European cities, Kaliningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Warsaw amongst others, stop both at Hauptbahnhof and Ostbahnhof. Make sure you have a reservation because these lines are also very popular.

BY CAR

Berlin is encircled by a motorway ring (A10 Berliner Ring), which runs up to 30 km outside the city limits. Following motorways (clockwise) yield to the ring: A 11 to Stettin at Dreieck Schwanebeck, A 12 to Frankfurt (Oder)/Warsaw at Dreieck Spreeau, A13 to Dresden/Prague at Kreuz Schönefeld, A 9 to Leipzig/Munich at Dreieck Potsdam, A 2 to Hanover/Dortmund at Dreieck Werder, and A 24 to Hamburg at Dreieck Havelland.
From the ring there are motorways towards the city: A 111 from the northwest at Kreuz Oranienburg, A114 from the north at Dreieck Pankow, A 113 from the southeast at Schonefelder Kreuz and A115 from the southwest at Dreieck Nuthetal. B96 from the north and the south, B2 from the northeast, B5 from the east and west and B101 from the south are dual carriageways, which also connect to the city.

Sachsenhausen Memorial Tour

Head out of Berlin to delve into the city's dark history at the Sachsenhausen Memorial, a former Nazi concentration camp. Gain a valuable experience as you explore lands where prisoners were abused and the training grounds of SS guards, and hear tragic stories that bring Berlin's riddled past to life.

Meet your guide at the Brandenburg Gate and hop on the train to Oranienburg, home to one of the largest concentration camps in the Third Reich. Follow your knowledgeable guide as you wander through the camp's grounds, and learn how around 200,000 people were held captive, abused and forced into slave labour.

The remaining surroundings and on-site exhibitions provide you with vivid insight into the inhumane living conditions of the captives and corrupt behaviour of the SS guards.

Your experience is brought to life as your expert guide tells you heart-wrenching stories of brutality, torture, gas chambers and mass executions of the detainees. In the present day, the recently renovated Sachsenhausen Memorial is the heart of Berlin's tribute to the tragedy of the last century.

Berlin Dungeon

Enter the Dungeon and meet the Black Jester who takes you down in the Elevator of Doom. Down in the depths you enter the Old Library, where the mad monk Pater Roderich waits to tell you of the plague, the early tribes and Emperor Otto.

Head to the Raft of Rebellion to escape the plague by crossing the River Spree, only to find yourself face-to-face with the Plague Doctor on the diseased streets of 16th-century Berlin. The Torturer tells you about his tools of the trade in the Torture Chamber, before you head to the witch trials of the Secret Court.

Wander the Lost Catacombs and encounter the ghostly White Lady and meet Carl Grossman, the Butcher of Berlin, known for grinding his victims into sausages. Finally, emerge back into the light of day, having lived to tell the tale.
