Car By road

  • Coming from the north - Hamburg/Rostock (A24 autobahn):
    At the motorway junction Oranienburg take the A111 to Berlin Zentrum, and at the motorway junction Charlottenburg turn onto the A 100. Leave at the Kaiserdamm exit, and turn left at the end of the slip road to turn onto the Kaiserdamm boulevard (later Bismarckstrasse). Continue over the traffic island into Strasse des 17 Juni, and turn right at the next junction into Müller-Breslau-Strasse. Follow this street 300 yards straight on and you will find the ISTA on the right-hand side.

  • From Hannover (A2) and Leipzig, Nuremberg:
    Take the motorway A10 (Berlin Ring) to the Drewitz motorway junction, then the AVUS (A 115) to Berlin-Zentrum. At the Funkturm (radio tower) follow the signs to Wedding, but then take the first exit to Kaiserdamm. Turn left at the end of the slip road to turn onto the Kaiserdamm boulevard (later Bismarckstrasse). Continue over the traffic island into Strasse des 17 Juni, and turn right at the next junction into Müller-Breslau-Strasse. Follow this street 300 yards straight on and you will find the ISTA on the right-hand side.

Airport Arriving by plane

Berlin has two airports.

  • Tegel:

    The airport is very close to the ISTA. Take the airport shuttle bus (X9) to Zoologischer Garten (15 minutes) or take a taxi (10 minutes).


  • Schönefeld:

    This is on the other side of the city, so a taxi is expensive unless you can share the costs.

    • Take a 171 bus to S-Bahnhof Schönefeld, then take a regional train or S-Bahn (Line 9 - in direction Westkreuz) to Zoologischer Garten.

    • As an alternative you can also go the underground station Rudow (by bus), and from there take the Line 7 (destination Spandau) to Möckernbrücke, then change onto the Line 2 (destination Ruhleben or Olympiastadion) and travel through to Zoologischer Garten.

    Both options take about an hour.
