The train station is about 300-400 m away from the terminal. There is a covered walkway, and also a shuttle bus if you have a lot of luggage.

The easiest route is easy to find using www.fahrinfo-berlin.de (It takes the hotel address too, and finds the nearest station). A ticket from Schoenefeld to any train, subway, tram or bus stop in Berlin costs 2,10 Euro.

Hi

I arrived at Schonefeld with my sister and our elderly mum and auntie last Wednesday and although it is cheap on the train they couldn%26#39;t cope with going up and down escalators with cases - which you might also find difficult with a push chair, also there are steps to the outside and no lift in lots of cases We got a taxi from right outside airport doors - very easy. Cost us 41 Euros to Tiergarten so it would be similar to Swiss Hotel. It takes about 30-40 mins depending on traffic.

Thank you,

I reckon I will try the Train then , I think it is the S9 to Zoologischer.

And will probably walk from there to Augsburger strassee.

I am really looking forward to Berlin.

With a baby, and late at night, why not consider a taxi? It will be about 40 Euros.

Airport Express from Schonfeld to Zoogarden is easy and conveniant.. Takes about 30/40 minutes and is a couple of minutes walk from terminal.

Check this link for times. www.fahrinfo-berlin.de. Buses %26amp; taxis are plentiful at Zoo station.

If you are planning on using public transport a lot then buy a tourist ticket at the Airport Express station which covers all public transport.

Costs about 19euros for 48hrs per adult.
