I am bringing this ttt because I entered the wrong address for the hotel. So, I need transportation from SXF airport to Checkpoint Charlie hotel at SCHUETZENSTRASSE 11
thanks so much

Pat:

What is your definition of "best way"? Mine generally is taking public transport.

There is a railway station five minutes' walk outside the terminal building.

Take an RE7 regional train heading for Dessau to Friedrichstrasse, transfer to the U6 underground heading south for Alt-Mariendorf to Kochstrasse/Checkpoint Charlie

or

Take a Line 45 S-Bahn to Tempelhof, transfer to the U6 underground heading north for Alt-Tegel to Kochstrasse/Checkpoint Charlie.

Fare in both cases is € 2.10 one way.

Hope this helps, enjoy your trip

Phil.

Phil,

Thanks so much for your directions. I too think the best way is public transportation. We do not have much luggage so this is perfect for us.

Thanks again
Pat

Generally, a good way to find your way through Berlin transport network is http://www.fahrinfo-berlin.de/, the official website. You can also enter street addresses and the system figures out what the next train/subway/tram/bus stop is.

You will need the transportation to get around Berlin as there is no real "city center", the city is very widespread.

Yes, using public transport is vital to getting around Berlin efficiently and at a reasonable cost

The cost is even more reasonable if one buys a multi-day transit pass for the duration of one's stay. I believe they come in 1- 3- and 7-day increments (don't quote me -- do check the DB website when you plan), so perhaps one of these will work for your visit. The pass is good for all travel on subway (U-Bahn), elevated trains (S-Bahn) and buses.

Thanks so much Fritzl, we will be sure to get the day pass - thanks for the site.
