The hotel is | The hotel is around the corner from Moritzplatz. | ||
Check in time at the hotel is 15:00 (3pm). If you arrive earlier, they may not be able to get you into your room. If this is the case, feel free to either explore Berlin or come into the Mozilla Berlin office (after 9am). | |||
=Getting There= | |||
All travel will be booked through Mozilla's travel agency, ProTravel. Invitees will be contacted by a ProTravel agent to make travel and hotel arrangements. | |||
==Transportation to/from the hotel and airport== | |||
There are several ways to get to the hotel or office from the airport. | |||
===Bus & Metro=== | |||
The cheapest and often most convenient and fastest way from Tegel Airport to central Berlin is by Jet Express Bus. Buses to and from the airport generally operate from before 5 am to around midnight. Buses run every few minutes. | |||
Jet Express Buses are operated by the regular Berlin public transportation authorities and thus require the standard Berlin public transportation tickets or passes.Tickets are valid for 2 hours, and for a trip from Tegel Airport to Berlin city you need zones A & B. Using the ticket machines in the airport, first select English, then 'Local Traffic' then Berlin AB. Cost is €2.10. Tickets must be validated in a special machine before use, and then are valid for 2 hours on buses & trains throughout the city. Tickets can also be bought on the bus for cash. | |||
(U8 | Take '''JetExpressBus TXL''' from Flughafen Tegel to '''Alexanderplatz''' (33 minutes). From Alexanderplatz you take the U-bahn (Metro) '''U8 towards S+U Hermannstraße'''. Exit at '''Moritzplatz''' station. The hotel is just around the corner from Moritzplatz on Prinzenstraße. | ||
===Taxi=== | |||
Taxi service from the airport will cost approximately 30 Euros. There is an etherpad you can use to coordinate with other people attending the meeting - if you have 3-4 people arriving at the same time it might make sense to take a taxi. | |||
==Transportation to/from the hotel and office== | |||
===U-Bahn=== | |||
The U-Bahn station closest to the office is Voltastraße, served by subway line U8. | |||
*[http://www.bvg.de/index.php/en/17103/name/Underground.html metro service and maps]. | |||
U | From the hotel, enter the U Moritzplatz subway station. Take U8 line towards S+U Wittenau. | ||
After 7 stops (10 min) exit at U Voltastraße. The subway exits onto Brunnenstraße. | |||
Voltastraße is located between the two subway entrances - look for a mobile phone store and a shop with a blue "Schlecker" | |||
sign. Across the street you will see a supermarket "Norma". You want to have Brunnenstraße & Norma behind you as you walk onto Voltastraße. The building of the Mozilla office is about 1-1 1/2 blocks down Voltastraße on the right side of the street. | |||
