Works as a day trip

Airport to the centre: U-Bahn U2, 12 min, €3.90.

Getting around: TagesTicket Solo €10.60.

How the day-or-night answer works: the latest flight home, minus 12 minutes back to the airport, minus 90 minutes at the airport. The 90 minutes is our assumption. Flight times are the saved winter timetable, not a booking.
