The upcoming strike by the train drivers’ union GDL, starting Thursday, will restrict transport to the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, including Deutsche Bahn and Berlin’s S-Bahn. However, unaffected services such as metro (U-Bahn), trams, and buses remain available. Simultaneously, a strike by Ver.di involving Lufthansa’s ground staff from Thursday to Saturday could disrupt air travel. ITB Berlin organisers recommend staying updated on the latest developments.
