  • Berlin, Capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Is Located at the Heart of Europe and Also, After EU Enlargement in 2004, at the Centre of the European Community
    Berlin, Capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, is located at the heart of Europe and also, after EU enlargement in 2004, at the centre of the European Community. With about 3,400,000 inhabitants, Berlin is the largest City in Germany. It is 38 kilometres long and 45 kilometres wide and covers an area of 889 square kilometres. In the middle of the Brandenburg region, the city occupies the flatlands on the banks of the Havel and Spree rivers and is criss-crossed with numerous canals. BY AIRPLANE: You can fly to Berlin from 167 airports in 53 countries. Aircrafts operated by over 67 different airlines land in Berlin. If charter flights are included, that figure rises to 99. The largest of Berlin's three airports are Tegel and Schönefeld. Tegel continues to function as the gateway to western Europe. Most of the flights to eastern Europe and Asia are handled by Schönefeld. Airport Tegel (TXL) 13405 Berlin (Reinickendorf) Tegel is situated in north-west Berlin, approximately 8 km from the city-centre. The airport is located conveniently within Berlin, in ca. 15 minutes the western city centre can be reached. Apart from the buses 109 and 128 the bus X9 which leaves from the train station Zoologischer Garten connects the airport to the city centre, this bus stops only at the main subway stations, therefore the ride doesn't take long. There is also the JetExpressBus TXL which links the avenue Unter den Linden, in the eastern city centre, with the airport. The bus or undergound ticket costs € 2.10 (or € 2.60 for trips to the surroundings, zone ABC).
