Before you travel
Weather
See weather forecasts to plan what to pack/wear in Berlin during your visit:
Plan your local transportation
Berlin Airport to Berlin city center:
- There are regular trains from the Berlin Airport (BER) to the main central Berlin train station (Hauptbahnhof)
- From Hauptbahnhof there are regular busses and local light rail (S-Bahn) to other neighborhoods of Berlin.
Tickets:
- For the month of August there is a special 9-Euro-Ticket which allows use of all bus and train travel on local public transport for the entire month, for everyone, everywhere in Germany.
You can buy a 9-Euro-Ticket ticket for the month of August online:
- https://www.bahn.com/en/offers/regional/9-euro-ticket-en
- or in the BVG Fahrinfo mobile app
- Dave downloaded the app and bought such a ticket. It doesn't go into the Apple Wallet, and though I had to enter an address and the only countries offered were in Europe so I lied and said UK, I could still buy the ticket using ApplePay.
- or from any of the physical vending machines at the airport or Berlin central station
Covid Precautions
Travel Precautions
In Germany you are still required to wear a mask (FFP2/KN95 or better) on public transport.
There is no masking requirement in taxis.
Please strongly consider masking (with FFP2/KN95 or better, e.g. a fitted N95 respirator) during your entire travel, including in airports, and on flights.
Official resources:
- German Federal Ministry of Health: Current information for travellers
- Governing Mayor of Berlin: Measures against the coronavirus
Meeting Precautions
In addition to following Covid rules for entering into Germany, the following are proposed. Participants must:
- be fully vaccinated (including a booster), unless there is a medical reason they cannot be (in which case, please disclose to other participants so they can make an informed decision about their participation).
- self-test daily in the morning before each meeting day (rapid tests are available at Berlin pharmacies, and there are nearby rapid testing centers)
- wear a KN-95/FFP2/N95 mask or better while indoors
- stay home (or in their hotel) if they have any cold/flu/covid symptoms
Additional precautions:
- Open windows. The room we are meeting in has windows which we will open to allow fresh air to circulate.
- Spaced seating. Depending on the number of participants, we will try to seat participants with an empty chair in between any two participants around the meeting table.
