More information

Combine ...

... your visit to Meissen with a trip on the Meissen City Tour bus. This will take you conveniently to the main sights in the historic old town, and to the Albrechtsburg castle on the hill overlooking the Elbe.

You can hop on and off the shuttle buses all day, whenever you wish, for example to visit a particular sight or the small cafés, restaurants, wine outlets or well-established shops.

Every day from 4th April to 1st November 2020

During the April to October season, the city tour stops at all the main points, such as the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory, the historic market, the Albrechtsburg with its cathedral, and the Albrechtsburg, every 30 minutes. On your VGM (Meissen transport authority) minibus, the driver will briefly explain the main sights of the 1,000 year old city of Meissen. Combine your tour with a trip in the panoramic elevator - the day ticket for the city tour is valid for the elevator. You can pick it up from the elevator station.

Hop off en route and jump back on later ...

During the day you can interrupt your modern shuttle-bus tour as often as you wish to visit the sights that interest you, and just get back on later. In-between, visit the little cafés, restaurants, wine shops, or many other shops.

Each bus has 17 seats, standing room for 5 and a space for a wheelchair.
