Stretch-Trabant Limo - Dresden
The " picture perfect" frame.
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,

If your plane lands at 09:10 it's no problem to make the 09:57 connection.
Berlin-Schönefeld Flughafen dep 09:57 RB
Berlin Hbf arr 10:24
Berlin Hbf (tief) dep 10:46 EC
Dresden-Neustadt arr 12:49
This way you have only 1 change and enough time for this.
(tief) means a platform of the underground part of the Hauptbahnhof (Hbf = main railway station).

The trip planner on the DB site also gives track numbers, and this tells us that:
- At Hermannstrasse you get of on track one, and need to take the next train on the same track. So this ought to be easy.
- At Sudkreuz you get of at the high level, and need to go to the low level, track nr. 4. This ought to be pretty straightforward too. Just be somewhere in the middel in the S-Bahn train, and you will just have to make sure, once out of the train, that you go down the correct set of stairs.
I knew I could count on virtual tourist members
to help with travel questions.
Thank you both for your replies, it makes a lot
more sense now.
Cheers,

Have you checked out the possibility of flying Air Berlin from London to Leipzig/Halle (near Dresden) then Deutschebahn from there to Dresden?
Fares and schedule may be attractive plus convenience of smaller but newer airport w/ direct train service
In 1989 visitors to Dresden -- or any other East German city -- had terrible problems finding restaurants. Their hours were unreliable, the service was appallingly slow, and the food was unimaginative at best. And fast food was almost unobtainable apart from the odd ice-cream or sausage stand. Finding any place to sit down and munch was a trial; finding one that was actually attractive was impossible.

When you plan your marriage in Dresden, THIS might be the perfect place for the wedding-bureau / Standesamt for you !
Just click on my pictures and take a closer look for that great architecture and romantic fresco at the entrance-hall.
Just a pity, this place is open during the week, BUT NEVER on a saturday and sunday !!
I found it myself accidentially, when I left the hop-on-hop-off citytourbus in Goetheallee in order to take a few photos of the Elbe and castle Albrechtsberg.
This nice building may be found at the crossing of Goethestrasse and Vogesenweg.
The officehours are - just in case :
Monday : 08.00a.m. - 12.00 noon
Tuesday : 08.00 a.m. - 12.00 noon
+ 02.00p.m. - 06.00p.m.
Thursday : 02.00p.m. - 06.00p.m.
With these officehours, it is certainly a hard job there ;-))
Dippoldiswalde is a lovely village 45 minutes south of Dresden on the way to Prague. Despite its medieval core few tourists venture here aside from perhaps those from the former East Germany reliving their mountain vacations. It's a shame as its not only beautiful but was saved any damage from the WWII bombings that leveled Dresden. Thanks to Doreen for showing her hometown to me.
Now, years later I am married to Doreen so I go to Dipps (as locals call it) every year. It never ceases to amaze me that I seem to be the ONLY tourist in town.
Dresden has a modern and reliable bus service called Stadtbus.

In the Wöhrl Plaza at Prager Strasse is this cafe. On the first floor and you have an excellent view on the streetlife from every table. The flair reminds on a stock exchange (= "Börse" in German). Just had a coffee here. Quite expensive but the panorama view worth it.
