Travel day 54. The beginning of day 48 in Berlin ends with day 1 in Vienna.
I completed 7 weeks in Berlin after having been away for almost 4 years. But this is now my 4th consecutive summer in Vienna, another month in the Austrian capital. I guess the Vienna “Grantigkeit” is something I can recognize and appreciate. I’ll miss the general reach, frequency, and efficiency of Berlin’s U- & S-Bahn, but I’m also a fan of Vienna’s “end of the Alps” foothills and the unmistakable presence of the Danube river.
From one airport’s train station at BER, to the next airport’s train station at VIE.
I arrived at Berlin’s airport on an FEX (Flughafen Express) train from Gesundbrunnen station.
Multiple tracks and platforms at Berlin Brandenburg Airport BER train station.
The airport is named after former German chancellor Willy Brandt. “If I were asked to say what, apart from peace, was most important to me, then my answer would be ‘freedom’.”
BER gates A16 and A17 at left and right, respectively. My flight to Vienna with Austrian Airlines from gate A17 is getting the prep.
Into VIE: Terminal 1 arrivals’ baggage carousel.
How could you, VIE, possibly know I was thinking about going back to Meissl & Schadn? Perhaps this is why.
I’m about to board an ÖBB RailJet train to Vienna’s central station (Hauptbahnhof).
I made all images above with an iPhone15 on 30 June 2025. This post composed within Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
