Getting to Berlin

The Cold War had witnessed the division of Berlin into two parts. This actually bifurcated many important venues such as airports. The span of the airports spread both on the east and the west side. Basically the major challenge was to integrate the previously sundered systems into one single whole that actually contributes towards serving people in the metropolitan Berlin area. As for the prospect of getting to Berlin, one can always opt out for the air route. The city has two airports. The name of the first airport is Tegel International Airport and the name of the second airport is Schonefeld airport. The former has its location in the north-western clime of the city. Basically it is meant for flag carriers such as Lufthansa, British Airways and so on and so forth. There is a center for domestic flights also, where two terminals are built for the Air Berlin flights. As for the other airport it serves the capital of GDR, which is the southeast of Berlin and is meant for the low-cost airlines such as easyJet, Ryanair and Germanwings. Also traffic from Eastern Europe such as charter flights land from Eastern Europe.

Then there are regional trains as well for those who want to come to the city by train. And then there are those people who want to take a trip by road. For such people there are buses that operate between the railway station and the terminal buildings. As for the S-bahn trains that take people to the center of Berlin.

However renovations are taking place at the Ostkreuz station and this has put a surcease to the carriage of services at the station. Of course there are those faster trains that cost the same yet their schedule is somewhat not very regular. But the plus point is such trains stop at all the major train stations. Also a third airport is being built that is known as the Berlin Brandenburg Airport. It is supposed to have its inauguration on the third of June next year after which the Tegel airport is to shut down. All in all, getting to Berlin has a huge array of options to choose from, whichever way anyone would want to reach the city and enjoy its surroundings.
