Car Hire in Dresden

Getting to Dresden

The Dresden Airport is situated in the north of the city in the district of Klotzsche. Direct and connecting flights are available to many trans-Atlantic, European and German cities. The city centre, which is 9 km from the airport, is served by regular bus services.

Trains have daily connections to all major German and European cities. All express trains arrive either at the central railway station (Hauptbahnhof), on the southern edge of the city centre, or at Dresden-Neustadt station.

Buses and trams run between nearly every corner of the city, as well as to neighbouring towns.

The motorway A13 connects Dresden and Berlin. From Görlitz in the East, from Leipzig, Bavaria or Hessen in the West and South, you can reach Dresden via the motorway A4. Four junctions provide access into the city. In view of the quarter of a million motor vehicles registered in Dresden, it is recommended that day visitors leave their cars on the edges of the city and travel into the centre by bus, suburban train or tram.

The Elbe ferries play an important role in the city's transport system; there are three passenger ferries and one car ferry.
