or is it more feasable to get back to vienna and then go to frankfurt/bonn?

Thank you for your time!!

i'm visiting Dresden not the first time now, but i've got some questions:
a) maybe someone could advice any things to see in Dresden what's not widely visited by tourists ( during my first visits i've visited all the most known dresden places) ?
b) maybe someone could give any indian stuff store address, which would be located in city center ( offcourse, if such one exists in the city center ) ?

I am having difficulty in finding exact details of the houses/museums of classical composers in Dresden - help please !?

Hi,
I will be in Dresden for one night. Can anybody recommend a hotel or hostel? Usually I am on a low budget but if there is little more comfort for a fair prize, that is fine, too.
Thanx, Chris.

Can someone help me to find a schedule and an itinerary of the steamer from the city to National Park Saxon Switzerland on http://www.saechsische-dampfschiffahrt.de, german isn`t my forte :)

I saw on http://www.germanplaces.com/germany/dresden-attractions-activities.html that the top tip in Dresden is to make "an unforgettable trip on the old paddle steamer to the nearby National Park Saxon Switzerland to see the unique sandstone formations".

We will be in Dresden on a Viking River Cruise and will be docked overnight. We will need to get some laundry done in the afternoon. Does anyone know if there is a self serve or other fast laundry service near where the boat will be docked? Thanks for the help

Our son and his wife and daughter have just moved to Dresden from the United States. We live in New Zealand and will be visiting next year. We met them in Dresden this time last year and were very impressed with the 'old city'. Can someone tell me what is the best time of the year to visit weatherwise? Do not care for extreme temperatures.
Also can you give us some idea of areas which are nearby and are worth visiting?
We have been to Prague and loved this city and will visit again. We will also visit Berlin. The countryside appeals to us also, any recommendations of places to stay and visit. Thanking you

I'm moving to Dresden in January from Texas to be with my fiancee. I love to cook and I was wondering if there were any places in Dresden that specialize in imported foods. Especially spices and more exotic tastes to satisfy my culinary palette.

I've booked a privatzimmer and I was asked to sign a paper called "Reservierungsbestatigung" which is only in German. They told me that only the German version was available. I have never been asked to sign any papers for booking an accommodation in other European cities. Could anyone let me know if it is a normal practice in Germany? Or is it a trap?

Thank you.

Both of us plan to visit Dresden end of June, after a couple days' stay in Berlin. Is Dresden in the same state as Berlin because it looks pretty close? And are there any special tickets for public transport that we could buy for use around Berlin as well as on the train ride to Dresden?

Would also appreciate info as to:-
1. Which Railway Station in Berlin do we go to catch the train for Dresden?

2. Any idea of savings and convenience, if we buy our tickets the same day at the train station?

3. Is it possible, and if so, would there be savings to purchase a return ticket (from Berlin to Dresden and back to Berlin, as we got to catch our plane from Berlin) because we would like to avoid queuing up again (as well as on time) in Dresden to buy the train ticket back to Berlin from Dresden?

4. Any day ticket sold for use on public transport in Dresden? or is Dresden small enough to explore on foot?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

I am looking for ways to get to Dresden from London on the 9th of May.
The only affordable flights I have found so far are with Ryanair, to Berlin
Schönefeld airport - then I will have to take the train to Dresden.

Considering that the morning flight lands at 9:10 am and I MUST be at Dresden
Neustadt station at 13:00 (preferably earlier), I searched at www.bahn.de
and got the following timetable:

Berlin-Schönefeld Flughafen We, 09.05.07 dep 10:07 (or 9.57)
Berlin Hermannstraße We, 09.05.07 arr 10:31 (or 10:24)

Berlin Hermannstraße We, 09.05.07 dep 10:34
Berlin Südkreuz (S) We, 09.05.07 arr 10:39

Berlin Südkreuz (S) We, 09.05.07 5 minute walk
Berlin Südkreuz We, 09.05.07

Berlin Südkreuz We, 09.05.07 dep 10:53
Dresden-Neustadt We, 09.05.07 arr 12:49

How possible is that to do, considering that some of the connections
only have a few minutes between them?
Especially taking into account that I have never been to any of these
stations and don't know any german, so it might take longer to find the
different trains and platforms.

I know that german trains are usually punctual, but the only time I've been
to Germany (in transit) I missed a flight due to rail disruptions.

There is another option of taking the late flight on the 8th, spend
the night at Berlin and take an early morning train to Dresden.
Do you think that's preferable? If so, can anyone recommend a budget
hotel or hostel near any of the above train stations or the airport?

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Many thanks,
Ka5637

Is catching the train from Dresden to Prague the cheapest way? Or is there a local bus or train system that could be a little lighter on the pocket?
