Summer-time and no queues at the check-in counter at the airport. Actually the check-in area of Tempelhof Airport is almost empty. Indeed, there are only a handful of counters with the names of exotic airlines such as Bourbon Air.
The single baggage carousel for arriving passengers stands still because nobody has arrived at Tempelhof Airport in Berlin since 2008 when operations ceased. Nowadays it's possible to join a tour of the airport terminal, which is still one of the world’s largest buildings, visible from space! The abandoned airfield meanwhile serves as a popular park area in central Berlin. We love the fact that it’s an open space with sweeping views and without trees and landscaped gardens.
Join us on our tour of abandoned Tempelhof Airport in this Berlin Travel blog post!
