RyanAir has a deal for £5 tickets from London to Berlin – but you land at Berlin-Schönefeld. Is it easy to get from that airport to downtown Berlin?

Yes, dead easy. There's an S-Bahn train that goes pretty much to the airport (300m from the terminal I think) which takes you right through the middle of Berlin. Or you can jump on a bus which leads to the end of a U-Bahn line.

Go for it!

I'll second that I've flown into schonefeld twice and both times it was very simple

just walk out on the walkway towards the train station, smile at a few people walking towards the airport and hey presto free day ticket for the whole of berlin.

its only about 25-30 mins and you come out on the main trainline. that goes through central berlin on to Zoo station

I'd recommend staying in mitte, numerous hostels or hotels and easily the best food and nightlife

The airport is wonderful and you will have not problems, whatsoever, to get to the center. Depending on how much you want to see while travilling into the center, I recommend the train (the symbol is a green circle with white S in the middle). It's much faster and you will come to all major stations.
You know yet where you'll stay? You prefer some full tourist place or rather some quiet part a bit more outside?

I'm also going soon to Berlin- would love some advice, never been there. Figure I'll spend about two to three days before heading to Prague.

Any thoughts you have on Berlin- hostels or places to hang out, must see, ect- I'd love some advice!
