=== Traveling to Berlin  ===
=== Traveling to Berlin  ===
Berlin has two functional airports: Tegel (TXL) and Schönefeld (SXF):
Berlin has one functional airport: Berlin-Brandeburg Airport[ BER]
 
* Tegel is closer to the city center and has service from transatlantic flights (Brussels Airlines, United, Air Canada Rouge) as well as many normal-cost air carriers.  Some flights departing from terminal A allow you to get very quickly from the gate to the waiting lounge because each jetbridge has its own gate, security, and lounge.  All other terminals in Tegel take a little longer.
* Schönefeld is a little further from the city's center, but also has a very easy connection to the office.  Schönefeld is primarily served by low-cost air carriers (Ryanair, Easyjet).


Berlin is also well connected by train.  The closest major station for long distance and international trains is the Ostbahnhof.  If the train does not stop at Ostbahnhof, then the Hauptbahnhof is the next best choice.

* The recommended route from TXL to the office is via the S-Bahn ring. From the airport, take bus TXL to S Beusselstraße (2 stops). From there, take S41 (via Gesundbrunnen, Ostkreuz) to Treptower Park. From there the office is only 10 min walk away: go right on Puschkinallee and keep straight (it's a beautiful walk!). You can also take bus 165 (direction U Märkisches Museum) or 265 (direction U Stadtmitte ) to Taborstraße. This will leave you right in front of our office building.
 
==== From Schönefeld Airport SXF ====
* '''NOTE''': you will require a ticket in fare zone ABC

* Hop on S9 and get off at S Treptower Park, and then switch to bus 165/265 [direction Stadtmitte/ Maerkisches Museum]. It is just a 5 min ride and you get off directly in front of the office building courtyard [Taborstrasse].

15min walk from the office. Great location, great hotel. Free yoga class on Thursdays, make their own coconut water. Delicious food (local and made from scrap) and drinks. Rooms range from "Cozy" (very tiny but beautiful and has everything you need) to a larger scale. More hipster vibe. Very different from your usual hotel. It's an experience in itself.

It's an experience in itself but not for everyone. Drawback: some rooms are very small. It may get loud as it overlooks a shopping mall and a busy street.

The Forum wine bar is super cool. You pay 2EUR when you enter and you drink as much wine as you want and eat from their small salad bar. In the end, you pay what you feel it was worth. Done!

Where all the hackers hang out. Smoker's bar. Pro-tipp: order a "Tschunk" (Caipirinha with Club-Mate). It's close to S-Bahn stop <i>Hackescher Markt</i> in walking distance from Alexanderplatz, and easy to miss with the entrance hidden deep inside the backyard.
Micro Brewery and bar in Wedding selling their own beer (and teaching you how to brew yourself, if you care). Slightly more exotic than the rest and somewhat far out, but you're essentially sitting next to the beer brewing pots you're drinking from. This is the place to be if you're into exotic IPA style brews.

Very, very German and not nearly as bad as it sounds. They serve decent foods and very tasty beer from their own brewery. Pro-tipp: order a "Bierprobe", which is a small sample of all their beers. Located right next to S-Bahn stop <i>Hackescher Markt</i> and in walking distance from Alexanderplatz.

<i>Wrangelstraße 24, 10997 Berlin</i><br>
Easily one of the best cocktail bars of Berlin, perhaps even <i>the</i> best. About a 15 minute walk from the office to the South-West. Cocktails are tailored to you taste, and please don't even think about ordering a Margarita, as these highly-skilled people have better things to do than making standard cocktails. It's really quite the taste experience. The place is tiny, so you need to reserve a table or go early. Don't expect to fit large groups, though. Six or eight is probably the max.

Need to quickly machine your metal parts, 3D-print a case for your electronics project, or sew your pants? Or reverse-engineer your DNA in a biolab, smell the vegetables or just hang out in the hot tub of a massively green backyard garden? The "Space Agency" is one of the most well-equipped fablabs you'll find in this country, and always worth a little visit.
