Before you travel to Dresden by train - good to know!

Upon arrival in Dresden, it's a good idea to buy a Dresden City Card. Travelers can buy these cards in one to three-day formats, and they cover local transportation costs, making it easier and cheaper to see the city's sights. After that, there's a lot to get through. The meticulously rebuilt Frauenkirche is an amazing achievement, while the collections at the Royal Palace have to be seen to be believed.
