Which Airport Should I fly to?

However, if you are coming from one of Berlin’s airports, you have two  choices in ways to travel to the Center. Your first choice is to come by a bus operated by companies such as FlixBus or Meinfernbus; this bus ride takes about two hours. Your second choice is to come by train from Berlin-Central station; this train ride takes about one and a half hours. 

Do I have to obtain a visa to Germany?

If you are coming from a European country that has signed the Schengen agreement, then you don’t need a visa to enter Germany. For those who come from countries which are part of a visa free program, you are allowed to stay in Germany up to three months.

If you need a visa to enter Germany, then you need to apply for a Schengen visa. This visa will allow you to enter and stay in Germany for a maximum period of 3 months (90 days). Having a visa does not mean that you are allowed to be employed in Germany (not even as a freelancer). Check the Germany government website to determine your particular visa requirement.
