Editing Berlin (section)

== Travelling from Berlin ==
Apart from the 2 airports, several (international) trains and busses arrive at and leave from Berlin.
===Trains===
Most '''international trains''' arrive at and depart from Berlin Hauptbahnhof (main railway station).
*to the Netherlands (Berlin-Schiphol)
*to Poland (Berlin-Warsaw/Gdansk/Wrocław Główny)
*to Switzerland (Berlin-Basel)
*to Denmark (Berlin-Copenhagen/Arhus)
*to the Czech Republic (Berlin-Prague)
To find the best connections, or for booking tickets, you can check out the website of the [[http://www.bahn.de/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtml German Railway]]. Booking tickets on forehand can make a huge difference in price.

'''(inter)regional trains''' depart from every major station, such as Alexanderplatz, Ostbahnhof, Spandau and Sudkreuz. There's a difference between regional trains ('''RB''' (Regionalbahn) and'''RE''' (Regionalexpress)) and inter-regional trains ('''IC''' (Intercity) and '''ICE''' (Intercity Express)). The IC's and ICE's drive much faster and over a long distance, mostly to other big cities in Germany. The RB and RE only drive short distances and stop at many smaller stations on the way.

===Buses===
The main bus station for international and inter-regional bus lines is '''ZOB''' ("Zentraler Omnibus-Bahnhof") in western Berlin. It is near S-Bahn station "Messe Nord/ICC" (Circle lines S41/S42) and [[File:U2.png]] station "Kaiserdamm".
Depending on the line and destination, some international/inter-regional buses may also stop at one of these places:
* Ostbahnhof Bus Station (eastern side of the city, at S-Bahn Ostbahnhof)
* Südkreuz station - many buses to/from Poland and Czech Republic stop here (S2, S25, S41, S42, S45, S46, and some mainline trains)
* Hauptbahnhof (main train station) - buses run by DB (German railway) stop here
* Schönefeld Airport (near the terminals) - some buses to/from Poland and Czech Republic stop here
