By plane
Brandenburg is served by the same airports as Berlin. Tegel International Airport is in the north of Berlin and Schönefeld International Airport in the south. Schönefeld Airport turns in 2011 to Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport BBI, while Tegel will close after BBI is established.
By public transport
The railway system is oriented towards Berlin. There are frequent regional trains connecting Berlin with all major cities in Brandenburg. However, it is often difficult to get to smaller places via public transport. There are buses, but travelers should check timetables. The Berlin-Brandenburg-Public-Traffic-Network vbb co-ordinates public transport in the region. There is also a consistent tariff system, so travelers can by a ticket for the entire journey even if they change from the train to buses. The website of the Traffic Network vbb (http://www.vbb-online.de) offers informations on timetables and tariffs.
