getting to Dresden
by plane
The
Dresden-Klotzsche Airport is located north of the city and can be reached
by bus (line 77 and 97) and tram line 7. Local trains, called the s-bahn,
also have fast connections to the airport.
Flights leave to nearly all larger German cities and a few European destinations,
like Zurich and Vienna. The emergence of low-cost airlines, such as Germanwings (http://www.germanwings.de)
and DBA (http://www.flydba.de)
has led to reduced fares to Cologne, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Munich. Lufthansa (http://www.lufthansa.com)
flies to most domestic destinations.
by train
The main station is within walking distance of the city centre and easily
accessible by bus or car. Trains leave regularly for larger German cities

shopping street called Prager Straße and within a short walking distance

bus and tram network and can be reached very fast from nearly everywhere.
