The city is located on the navigable River Havel, a European Waterway, and vessels travelling through the city have a choice of two routes.
The original route used the Brandenburg City Canal, a 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) route through the city centre that descends through the Stadtschleuse Brandenburg, but this route is constrained in size and now limited to leisure craft.
Commercial traffic instead uses the Silo Canal that passes through the eastern and northern fringes of the city.

The city is located at the junction of Federal Highways 1 and 102 and the A2 autobahn is nearby.
The Berlin and Magdeburg railway also runs through Brandenburg an der Havel.

The centrepiece of the city's urban public transport system is the Brandenburg an der Havel tramway network.
