Understand
Brandenburg is the countryside around the Berlin metropolitan area. Within less than an hour, you can get out of the city and find yourself in the middle of a forest or a pretty village, at the banks of a lovely lake or in front of a medieval church or castle. The major attraction of Brandenburg is the city of Potsdam with its UNESCO world heritage. However, besides Potsdam, there are plenty of less spectacular attractions that make Brandenburg worth a trip. The grey remainders of 40 years of communist ruling are gone, and now Brandenburg offers lots to discover.
Talk
People in Brandenburg speak German, possibly with the Berlin-Brandenburg dialect. The younger people normally do understand English, the older tend to speak Russian rather than English.
Get in
by plane
Brandenburg is served by the same three airports that serve Berlin. They are Tegel International Airport, Tempelhof International Airport, and Schönefeld International Airport. Schönefeld Airport will eventually become Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport (BBI), while Tempelhof and possibly Tegel will close after BBI is established.
by car
Since Berlin is located in the middle of Brandenburg, there are highways (Autobahn) to all major directions crossing through Brandenburg. Many places in Brandenburg can be reached by car within one or two hours from the center of Berlin.
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 offers informations on timetables and tariffs.
Get around
The easiest way to get around is by car. There are several highways (Autobahn), that connect Berlin with different German regions - all leading through Brandenburg. In addition, there are well maintained roads.
Public transport to many rural destinations is poor. There are a few railroad connections within Brandenburg and there are public buses, but travelers should check timetables for connections.
