If you would like to do some sightseeing in Berlin or the nearby Potsdam, most locations can be easily reached by public transportation (fast train S-Bahn, subway U-Bahn and busses). The next S-Bahn station, which brings you right to the center of Berlin and also to Potsdam, is located about a 5 minutes walking distance from the club. For public transportation, a variety of ticket options are available with the most advantageous depending on the number of persons (you can form groups, which however must stay together for transportation, since you only have one ticket) and the validity period. In general, the tickets have to be validated at the first station (machines right at the rail track) and are valid for all three means of transportation (S-Bahn, U-Bahn and busses). If you only travel in Berlin, you need so-called AB-tickets, for Potsdam you need ABC-tickets. Ticket information in English

For sightseeing specialized tourist tickets, which also include reduced entrance fees to many attractions, might be advantageous. They can be found  at the BVG ticket information under tourist tickets
