Map
Location of the STATION Berlin, LinuxTag exhibition ground:
By Car
Take the A100 autobahn (toward Dresden) to Exit B96/Tempelhofer Damm. Left exit onto Tempelhofer Damm. Drive straight ahead until Mehringdamm. Turn left onto Hallesches Ufer. Turn left onto Schöneberger Strasse, and then drive into Luckenwalder Strasse.
You’ll find STATION Berlin on the right side.
By Train
Take national trains to Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Main Station).
Way 1: RE3, RE4, RE5 (RegionalExpress) to Potsdamer Platz and U2 to Gleisdreieck, 1 min. walk to STATION Berlin.
Way 2: RE1, RE2, RE7 (RegionalExpress), S5, S7 (S-Bahn) to Potsdamer Platz and U2 (U-Bahn) to Gleisdreieck, 1 min. walk.
By S-Bahn
Lines S1/ S2/ S25/ S26 to S-Anhalter Bahnhof followed by an approx. 8 min. walk
By Bus
Bus number 248 to Möckernstraße, within walking distance (approx. 8 min.) you can reach S-Anhalter Bahnhof. It is serviced by Bus M41, among others.
By U-Bahn
Line U1/ U2 to U-Gleisdreieck, 1 min. walk.
By Air
You can reach Tegel Airport using public regional transit by connecting with the S-Bahn light rail (S41/42 to Jungfernheide Station), the U-Bahn subway (U7 to Jakob-Kaiser-Platz Station) or the bus (bus lines X9 and 109). Travel time from either airport to City Center/Potsdamer Platz – depending on local traffic – is between 25 to 45 minutes.
Local Public Transport
Public transport services include underground trains, trams and buses operated by BVG, and local trains operated by the Berlin S-Bahn. The two companies accept the same tickets, and use the same concentric fare zones, A, B and C.
Note: For reasons too complicated and political to be mentioned here, the Berlin S-Bahn currently provides irregular service. Please check the website for current information.
Transit map
Zone A: Central Berlin up to and including the S-Bahn ring line
Zone B: Outside the S-Bahn ring line to the city limits
Zone C: Berlin environs (about 15 km from the city limits), including the city of Potsdam and Schönefeld airport
Fares
There are no tickets for a single fare zone. If you are within the zone A or B, you need a ticket for A+B.
If you are in fare zone C, you need a ticket for A+B+C.
If you are going to ride more than twice in one day, get a day pass. If you want to stay for the entire fair and also see the city, get a five-day or seven-day pass.
Some gotchas: Bicycles require a supplementary ticket. Schönefeld airport is in zone C.
