Berlin Tegel Airport is currently Berlin's foremost international airport. It has state of the art facilities, with numerous shops and restaurants, including designer outlets. There is an excellent tourist information desk, where you can organise hiring a car from Berlin Tegel Airport so that you can make the most of the city and the surrounding countryside. Berlin Tegel is connected to several motorways, so you can get to other parts of Germany quickly and easily. The airport is less than ten miles from the city centre, so you can begin enjoying the city in no time. Berlin Tegel Airport will eventually merge with Berlin Brandenburg Airport.
As it is so close to the city centre, you can be in Berlin and sightseeing in no time, particularly if you hire a car from Berlin Tegal airport. One of Berlin's biggest attractions is the Television Tower – for less than €10 you can go to the top and enjoy an awe-inspiring 360 degree view of the entire city. Renting a car means the Berlin Wall is only a short drive away, and it is worth seeing even if it is a grim reminder of a less pleasant history. There are some fantastic buildings around the Gendarmenmarkt, which has an Imperial feel and is very impressive.
Brandenburg, with its old Imperial capital of Potsdam, is one of the most popular tourist destinations outside of Berlin. During your stay you can head to the countryside and enjoy one of the popular tours or pass times – like walking yoga – that are available. Potsdam used to be part of Prussia, and its buildings are so unique and special that many of them are now on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The area also has a large lagoon complex, which is lovely to walk around, or you can take a boat tour on one of the many waterways.
