In order to avoid traveling 30 minutes from the hotel, I thought it could be easier just to get tested at the airport before we leave for the hotel... So now you say there is a possibility to get the antigen test at the departures. Thank you. It would have been so easy if this information were published on the airport web site!
In departures you can get PCR or antigen tested at the EUROFINS MEGALAB on departures level. Paid service.
On arrivals you will be obliged to take a free antigen test if you are coming from a risk region (South America etc). Nobody is actually checking your boarding pass, by the way. They use the information you shared on the pax locator form. Result in 10 minutes and you receive a web link where you can also view the result, but I'm not sure if it's proof enough for travel.
ps. If you have your proof of vaccination I don't think you need a PCR test at all.
