== Arriving in Berlin  ==
=== Arriving at Berlin Tegel Airport  ===
There will be '''Mozilla staff welcoming''' you at the airport on '''Friday (Nov. 11)''' all day and handing out directions to the TRYP hotel and public transportation tickets to all MozCamp 2011 guests.<br>
For detailed directions on '''how to get to the Tryp hotel''', please see section 'Getting to/from hotel'.<br>
Getting from the airport to the '''city centre''' on public transport is easy and fast. <br>
The best way is to take the Airport Express Bus  – going either to Zoo station (city west) or Alexanderplatz (city east). Buses leave roughly every 10 min. <br>
'''Tickets'''
Berlin is divided in to '''zones A, B and C'''. Make sure you buy the right zone for the area you travel in (see map on station platform or bus stops). In the centre area you will need zone AB. For an '''online map of the public transport network''' go to http://www.bvg.de/index.php/en/17099/name/Network+Map.html<br>
A '''single ticket (zone AB)''' can be bought directly from the driver for '''2,30€/person'''. <br>
If buying a ticket at the multi-lingual machines, make sure you validate them at the smaller machines in the bus. We highly recommend buying and validating tickets, as they get checked regularly and the fee for travelling without a valid ticket is €40. <br>
A Taxi from Tegel airport to the TRYP Hotel costs around '''€20'''.<br>
=== Arriving at Berlin Schoenefeld Airport  ===
From Schönefeld, the quickest way to get into the '''city''' is by taking the '''Airport Express''' ('''RB14''', '''RE7''') – a train service operated by Deutsche Bahn. <br>
Trains leave from '''platforms 3''' or '''4''' at '''Berlin Schönefeld Flughafen Station''' which is an easy six minute walk from the airport terminal.<br>
Berlin-bound Airport Express trains are now marked "Berlin Hbf./final destination" at Schönefeld Station (Hbf. = Hauptbahnhof = Main Station).<br>
For detailed directions on '''how to get to the Tryp hotel''', please see section 'Getting to/from hotel'.<br>
'''Tickets'''<br>
Berlin is divided in to '''zones A, B and C'''. Make sure you buy the right zone for the area you travel in (see map on station platform or bus stops). In the centre area you will need zone AB. For an '''online map of the public transport network''' go to http://www.bvg.de/index.php/en/17099/name/Network+Map.html<br>
A '''single ticket (ABC)''' from Schönefeld Airport (fare zone C) to Berlin city centre (fare zone A) costs '''3,00€''' (Berlin ABC) and covers the Airport Express, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, bus and tram. Multi-lingual ticket machines are to be found in the arrivals area of terminal A, outside terminal A next to the bus bays and in the airport station. Please make sure you validate them at the smaller machines nerby. We highly recommend buying and validating tickets, as they get checked regularly and the fee for travelling without a valid ticket is €40. <br>
You may make as many stops or transfers as you like during the two-hour period of validity, however, the ticket is not valid for return or round trip.<br>
'''Taxi'''<br>
A Taxi from Schoenefeld airport to the TRYP Hotel costs around '''€40'''. The Taxi rank is situated in front of Terminal A.<br>
=== Arriving at the Central Railway Station (Berlin Hauptbahnhof) ===
Berlin's new Hauptbahnhof (central railway station) was opened in May 2006. A vast multi-level structure, partly in a tunnel, it forms the centrepiece of Berlin's new railway network.<br>
It will cost approx. '''€8''' to take a '''taxi''' from the central station to the Tryp hotel. (See taxi numbers below)<br>
For detailed directions on '''how to get to the hotel from the station''', please see section 'Getting to/from hotel'
