Transport
About 30 minutes by FEX train from Brandenburg Airport to Berlin Hauptbahnhof. The city is well connected by U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, and buses - an AB-zone day pass is recommended. Prepaid SIMs are available at the airport (Aldi Talk, Lebara, etc., about EUR 10-15/week). Card payments are common but some small restaurants and bars are cash-only, so carry some cash. Tipping 5-10% at restaurants is standard.
