Dresden-Elbe region tour

Meißen, Moritzburg, Radebeul

Experience a day of variety in the Saxon Elbe region, and go on your own day trip using buses and trains.

The S-Bahn S 1 will take you from Dresden to Meißen, the City of porcelain and wine. Once there, it’s worth taking a walk or city tour through the old town. Bus line M (2th April to 31st October) is a convenient way of getting to Moritzburg, the hunting lodge of Augustus the Strong, via Weinböhla.

Then board the Lößnitzgrundbahn steam train on the narrow gauge railway to Radebeul to enjoy some Saxon wine at the many wineries.
