Arriving by Plane

paragraph image
Dresden Airport is located 9 km north of the city centre. Flights are operated to the most important larger German and international cities.
The airport possesses its own direct link to the German motorway network:
    * A 13 (Berlin/Dresden)
    * A 4 (Chemnitz/Dresden/Görlitz)
    * A 17 (Czech Republic/ Dresden)

A suburban rail service (S-Bahn) runs between the central railway station in Dresden and the airport. The journey takes approx. 25 minutes, with intermediate stops at the stations Mitte, Neustadt, Industriegelände, Klotzsche and Grenzstrasse. Escalators take passengers directly from the platform into the airport departure area.

A taxi from the city centre to the airport costs approximately € 13 to 15 and takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the time of day. The airport taxi rank is directly in front of the terminal.
