But there is much more to Potsdam than just Sanssouci. From taking a cruise through pristine lakes, exploring the charming city center, or wandering the numerous tranquil parks studded with fantastical palaces, visitors will be hard pressed to fit a visit to Potsdam into just one day. In fact many choose to rent a bike to fit more in, as well they should, as Potsdam is the perfect place to discover on a bicycle.

To Be Determined

Transfer to Berlin Airport by Taxi or Train

The most affordable and fast way to reach Berlin Brandenburg airport is by train. The Airport Express train takes only 30 minutes and leaves directly from the main station in central Berlin (Berlin Hbf). Regional and S-Bahn trains also depart from other locations in Berlin. Berlin taxis are generally reliable and honest, so you may wish to take a taxi or Uber, although this is more expensive than the train and puts you at the mercy of traffic. You can also arrange a private transfer. If you are picked up about 3 hours before your departure time, you should arrive at the airport with about two hours to spare, depending on traffic. If you are leaving during rush hour, you may want to budget an extra fifteen to thirty minutes.
