Travel from Dresden city center to train station Dresden Hbf (Hauptbahnhof)

Dresden is known for its serious efforts to restore the old grand buildings of the city. It has once again become a fine example of classic European art and architecture. Dresden's city center is dotted with palaces, churches, and buildings in baroque and rococo style. The city's most famous building, the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), was reconstructed and reopened in 2005. The baroque palace complex named Zwinger is now home to legendary art museums and the famous painting The Sistine Madonna by Raphael. It's timeless elegance and location along the river Elbe account for Dresden's nickname 'Florence on the Elbe'. Besides the allure of the Altstadt (Old Town), the city offers a lively nightlife scene. The funky Neustadt (New Town) features hip and alternative shops, restaurants, bars, and clubs. Train station Dresden Hbf is the city's largest railway station. Located just south of the Altstadt, the station is within walking distance of many important sites.

Local tips: the train station points of interest

Train station Dresden Hbf has a unique layout, as the station building is located on an island between the train tracks, and the terminal building has two different levels. Like the rest of the city center, the train station has undergone major reconstruction at the beginning of the 21st century. The most notable feature of the rehabilitated building is the arched roof, consisting of Teflon-coated glass fiber membranes. The roof design creates a translucent effect and allows for daylight to flow into the station halls. Some elements of the original station building have been recovered and put back in place, including decorative elements on the clock tower, arches on the windows and the Saxonia statue above the main entrance. The inauguration of the renovated station took place in 2006, coinciding with the 800-year anniversary of the city. The renovated station has won several architecture awards.
