The many lakes around Berlin are also ideal for relaxing: you can even swim at Wannsee, pedal boats at Tegelersee and romantic rowing in a boat in the Tiergarten.

Getting to Berlin

Berlin lies in the Northeast of Germany, embedded in the federal state of Brandenburg, and its East-West extension covers 45 km; the North-South extension is 38 km. Accordingly, there are several large railway stations in the city: Ostbahnhof (Eastern station), Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) and the station Südkreuz (Southern cross); they are all connected to the large public transportation network. The only airport in Berlin is now the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) in the South of the city. After the airport Tegel closed in November 2020 and the BER airport integrated the airport Schönfeld as Terminal 5. The Autobahn A10 encircles Berlin, while Autobahns that lead to Berlin are the A24 & A11 (North), A12 (East), A13 & A9 (South) and A2 (West).

Parking in Berlin

Parking fees for your Berlin campervan hire vary according to location, time of the day and day of the week. Around sightseeing sites like Brandenburger Tor, Fernsehturm, Museumsinsel and others, you pay about €3/h, versus in districts further out you pay about €1 – €2/h. In most districts, you may park free of charge at night. Since parking spaces in Berlin can often be expensive and are in great demand, we recommend using the (free of charge) Park & Ride offer and take the public means of transport into the city. Note: In many cities in Germany, you will need cash money (coins) to park your vehicle! However, there are some park-apps to pay cashless, e.g. ParkNow.
