Old Cliffie will put his hand up and admit that he hasn't actually stayed at the Holiday Inn Dresden. But since he also admits that the Holiday Inn is his hotel chain of choice when travelling nowadays with the little Clavens, he can only recommend it. Holiday Inns may be bland and standardised, but they invariably offer clean and comfortable accommodation at a reasonable price.

Neustadt water surprise
From the railway station we will walk to the christmas market at Altmarkt then onwards heading towards the river. We would like eventually to go across the Blue Wonder Bridge but I see this is to the east of the centre and seems quite a distance to walk so could anyone tell me how to get there by public transport. Names of stops and tram numbers would be useful or can we use the metro? If its not as far as I think and we would miss the sights by not walking then its ok we will walk. Anyone know the distance from Altmarkt? Thankyou.
Tram 6 and 12 to "Schillerplatz". From the Christmas market, best catch the 12 at Pirnaischer Platz. The tram ride will take about 15-20 minutes. It is definitely too far to walk.

Across the Blue Wonder bridge from Schillerplatz there are the funicular and suspension railways.

As I said before the Neustadt is a very interesting place with old buildings, lot's of bars (and I mean a lot!) and nice stores to shop. Go there during nighttime and check out the bars and discoteques.
This is the castle Albrechtsburg. It´s on the same hill like Schloss Egberg. There are tree castle next to the other. Here you can find a beautiful garden around the castle and if you want to have a snack you will find a restaurant too. Sometimes are guided tours in the park.
If you want to see a movie in a more individual ambience than the big movie theatres provide then there are several options in Dresden. One of them is "Programmkino Ost" which is located in a 19th century residential area east of the city centre. The building can look back on a long history as a theatre. Just recently they enlarged it by a modern structure, modernised A/C and other facilities and added a couple of new auditoriums. The two old auditoriums preserved some of their charm - some stucco works are kept as you can see in pic #3.
They play blockbusters as well as artsy productions from smaller, independent labels. I particularly like their annual French weeks in fall.
Important to non-German speakers: They also play movies in original language, mostly French and English/American. See this page:
http://programmkino-ost.de/v3/index.php?page=originalfassungen
Tickets cost between 5 and 7 Euro, small surcharge for long movies.
To get there take trams #4, 10 or buses #85, 86 to Altenberger Str. Casual.
This is the best, believe me. Our guide had suggested us to go there, and I have to say it was a good thing we followed his advice! The interior is really charachteristic (as you can see in the picture). It is furnished as in the time of August the strong.
