=== 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.

==== From Tegel Airport TXL ====
* 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.

Awesome, awesome cocktails in Friedrichshain, about a 25 minute walk from the office to the North. Be prepared to get a personal cocktail "fitting" to your taste. Bar has a decent foosball table, btw.

<i>Fehrbelliner Straße 57, 10119 Berlin, Germany</i><br>
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!

<i>Rosenthaler Straße 39, 10178 Berlin</i><br>
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.
