Welcome to Dresden - Airports and transfers
Dresden and Berlin Airport
Dresden has an international airport located in Klotzsche, 9 kilometres from the centre of Dresden. It offers international flights especially around the Mediterranean and thus especially for German tourist destinations. Interesting for you : Basel, Zurich, Amsterdam or London. Berlin Airport (Schönefeld) is only 1 hour and 40 minutes away from Dresden and there are also bus lines that will take you to the Saxon capital.

Travelling by train
A very good alternative to flying to Dresden is to travel by train, so you can enjoy the beautiful German landscape and reduce your impact on the environment. The German railways (DB) and companies in your country offer interesting packages, often including hotel accommodation. For example: Strasbourg-Dresden in 7 hours.
