Transport to Berlin
Driving Yourself to Berlin
If you are driving yourself, please use the Waze app. Google Maps will take you the wrong way when coming from the beach.
If you have to use Google Maps via the beach road, drive until you arrive at the Usulutan roundabouts, do not turn off the main road before hand. Seriously, it will be a bad time.

Drive Times, Road Conditions, Tips
We recommend you budget about 3 hours drive time. Consider times of day, holidays and busy traffic that goes with those.
