Germany, getting there and around

One can enter Germany through the Berlin Tegel Airport, Frankfurt Airport, and Hamburg Airport.

To reach Berlin from the airport, tourists can take the bus, which stops directly in front of subway and train stations. Taxis charge a minimum of €10 for the 20 minute trip.

From Frankfurt Airport, tourists can avail of the free shuttle service of major hotels, take the bus, or head for the train station beneath Terminal 1. Taxis and car rentals are also available. Frankfurt Airport is one of the best equipped in the world, with a comprehensive business center, play areas, casinos, just to name a few.

To leave the Hamburg Airport, tourists can take the Airport Express to the Central Station, the Hamburg Bus Lines (for suburban destinations) or the TravelPorter Airport Transfer service (a door-to-door, provided it is within the local area).

Getting Around

The typical "German efficiency" shows in its world-class transportation systems. Bus routes and train stations make public transportation very easy, and the roads connecting one city from another are easy to navigate by car. The Autobahn, the world's first motorway, allows fast, unencumbered driving-it's actually illegal to run out of gas in the middle of it.
