the journey<\/li>\n<li>S-Bahn runs with restrictions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Planning is more important in the winter months than in summer.<\/p>\n<h3>Park or have it delivered?<\/h3>\n<p>Parking early in the morning often means<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Search for a parking space<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the shuttle bus<\/li>\n<li>Walking with luggage<\/li>\n<li>Feel the time pressure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyone
