How to get to the Max Delbrück Center by public transport:
From Bahnhof Friedrichstraße, take S-Bahn line S2 direction Buch/Bernau to S-Bahnhof Berlin-Buch. From there take Bus 351 (direction Campus Buch; bus stop to the left of the train station) directly to MDC ( last stop). (Travel time: about 40 min. from Friedrichstraße.)
There is also a taxi stand upon exiting the S-Bahn station Berlin-Buch. The MDC is about twenty minutes’ walking distance from the station Berlin-Buch.
