Going to Brandenburg

By Car
The most convenient way to get anywhere in Brandenburg is by car. There are many expressways (Autobahn) passing through Brandenburg towards Berlin enabling you to reach any place within an hour or two from Berlin.

By Plane
Brandenburg is served by Berlin's international airports such as the Tegel International Airport and Schönefeld International Airport. These airports are now (at time of writing, Jan 2011) in the process of closing up once the new Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport (BBI) openes in June 2012. When that happens, some of the facilities of Berlin Schöefeld International Airport will be relocated there, while Tegel will close. The Tempelhof Airport has already been shut down in 2008.

From three airports, Berlin and Brandenburg will from 2012 be served by only one big international airport. It will be the third biggest airport in Germany, and will serve as the regional hub for Air Berlin, EasyJet, Lufthansa and Germanwings.
