Fetch your bags exit Braunschweig Airport (BWE-Braunschweig - Wolfsburg), and pick up your rental car. Which one you slide into depends on where you’re headed. If you’ll be spending a lot of time driving in downtown Braunschweig, around 4 miles from the terminal, opt for something zippy and small. A compact car that’s easy to operate will be ideal for navigating those bustling city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the picturesque sandy shores of the surrounding region, you’ll probably be racking up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips more comfortable.
