Schonefeld Mini Guide

Getting to Schonefeld Airport
The airport is due to be replaced by Brandenburg next year and as such has an uncertain range of routes. There are none from South Africa so you’ll need to use the main hub airports and fly in from there. Heathrow, Paris and Amsterdam are all represented. The airport is to the southeast of the city with autobahn 13 taking you directly into the centre.

Getting out of Schonefeld
Being on autobahn 13 means that heading south in Germany is easy and quick. The E30 heads west to Magdeburg and Hanover where you can join autobahn 37 south.

What is the Airport Like?
It’s a busy airport but losing many of its flights with the uncertainty of the opening of Brandenburg Airport. The impending closure means that little money is being spent on it and it’s beginning to look tired. There are still plenty of facilities including good shopping and places to eat and the usual services deemed necessary at an airport including currency exchange and medical facilities.

Staying Nearby
The InterCityHotel is only 400 yards from the terminal and good if you want to rest before continuing your journey. It’s cheap too with a room overnight costing from R800 a night. Cheaper still but a little further away is the Albergo at R600 a night.

Places of Interest Close to Schonefeld Airport.
  • Frankfurt an der Oder is right on the border with Poland and is a fascinating place. Make sure you visit the Marienkirche and see its unusual windows.
  • Brandenburg. This is a historic part of Germany and home to many ‘schlosser’ or castles built in the middle ages. It’s perfect for touring by hire car.
  • The East. To the east of Berlin is the countryside that was part of the former GDR. Much has changed but there are still noticeable differences in the towns and countryside.
  • Berlin Night Life. Berlin has become a popular city break destination not just because of its history but also its entertainment. Going out at night has an edgy feel and the bars and clubs are full of eclectic personalities ensuring you’ll have a great time.
