## Getting Around

### Public Transportation
87+
88+
Berlin is easy to navigate thanks to the city's extensive network of light-rail trains (S-Bahn), regional trains (RB), metro (U-Bahn), buses, and trams.
89+
90+
Berlin's public transport network is split into three zones:
91+
92+
- Zone A covers the city center
93+
- Zone B covers the area from outside the city center to the city limits
94+
- Zone C covers surrounding towns in Brandenburg
95+
96+
The venue and all major train stations are in zone A. BER airport is in zone C.
97+
98+
The local public transport company, BVG, operates U-Bahn, buses, and trams. S-Bahn and RB are operated by Deutsche Bahn.
99+
100+
#### Bus and U-Bahn
101+
102+
The following bus and U-Bahn stops are located within a 15-minute walk from the venue:
