Arrival / Transport

WARNING: S-Bahn problems. Due to technical and financial problems caused by bad management (the responsible people have been fired), many S-Bahn trains have been cancelled or are running on a limited schedule. This situation may well last till the end of 2009 and till then it's best to use the U-Bahn (underground trains), buses and trams as much as possible.

Although Berlin is lodged in the middle of the great empty vastness of northeast Germany, it's very well connected to the rest of civilisation by bus, train, Autobahn and air. Once in Berlin, you'll wish that your home town had such good public transport.
