=== Airports ===
93 7 laforge
Berlin has two active airports during OsmoDevCon2012: Tegel (TXL) and Schoenefeld (SXF).  Neither of the two
94 6 laforge
is exactly close to the venue, so pick whatever works best for you.
95 1 laforge
96 13 khorben
From SXF you can take local trains (S-Bahn), switch at Ostkreuz into another train and exit at Jannowitzbrücke.
97 1 laforge
You will need a "Berlin ABC" ticket.
98 6 laforge
99 13 khorben
From TXL, you can take the bus 128 to Osloer Straße, and then change for the U8 and exit at Jannowitzbrücke. Alternatively, the TXL bus can drop you at Alexanderplatz, one S-Bahn stop away from Jannowitzbrücke. You will need a "Berlin AB" ticket either way.

You can take long distance trains to ''Berlin Ostbahnhof'', which is only one S-Bahn stop away from Jannowitzbrücke, where C-Base is located

There is some public parking in Rungestrasse where c-base is located, but it is always very crowded.  Parking your car there is thus not recommended.

Berlin has tons of options, from very cheap to plush and expensive.  Pick your favourite.
