Getting Here and Around

Potsdam is 20 km (12 miles) southwest of Berlin's center and a half-hour journey by car or bus. From Zoo Station to Potsdam's main train station, the regional train RE 1 takes 17 minutes, and the S7 line of the S-bahn takes about 30 minutes; use an ABC zone ticket for either service. City traffic can be heavy, so a train journey is recommended.
