LC•GC Europe's associate editor, Felicity Thomas, provides a short guide to shopping in Dresden.
Altmarkt Square
The Altmarkt Square was rebuilt to its original form in the 1950s and offers the best of both worlds for the dedicated shoppers: a wide variety of small businesses with a distinctly individual character are dotted around the square, while the recently opened “Altmarkt Galerie” provides the perfect metropolitan shopping experience with over 100 shops, cafes and restaurants on four different levels. Throughout the year Altmarkt Square hosts different markets with the historical Strietzelmarkt being the main attraction at Christmas time.
Königstrasse
Königstrasse is the Baroque district of Dresden with over fifteen galleries to visit as well as some of the best shopping and restaurants to be found in the city. The Artistic Summer in the Musenhof (Kunstsommer im Musenhof) is one of the finest Baroque inner courtyards in Europe.
Prager Strasse
Prager Strasse is one of the most popular shopping districts in Dresden and is famous throughout Germany for its diverse architecture, Springbrünnen (fountains), and the tourist gardens behind the hotels displaying a breathtaking range of flora and fauna. Fashionistas will be happy with what is on sale in the shops leading from Reitbahnstrasse down to Ferdinandhof. Walking from Prager Strasse through Seestrasse will lead to the thriving Altmarkt.
Hauptstrasse
Hauptstrasse is an attractive pedestrianised shopping area with a long avenue of trees on the Neustadt side of the Elbe between the Altstadt and Aussere Neustadt districts. In a short space of time you can comfortably combine sight-seeing in the historical surroundings of Altstadt with a stroll down the length of Hauptstrasse, which now offers an array of craft shops and restaurants contained within the Baroque town houses. Regular festivals and markets make this an interesting place to visit throughout the year.
Aussere Neustadt
The Aussere Neustadt (Outer New City) district between Konigsbrucker, Bautzener and Görlitzer Strasse is famous for its thriving nightlife and attracts a modern crowd in search of a cutting-edge arts scene with lively bars and restaurants. Passing through the gateway entrances of Alaunstrasse 70 and Görlitzer Srasse 21–25 takes visitors through a labyrinth of alleys and small shops leading to a variety of ornate 19th century courtyards with exotic names: Yard of Mythical Creatures, Yard of Light, Yard of Metamorphoses, Yard of Elements and Yard of the Animals.

Walking: Dresden city centre, particularly in the historic Old Town (Altstadt), is easily accessible by foot. Please note that the city centre is not the geographical centre of the city.
Bus and tram: There is a combined system of tram (called Straßenbahn), bus and even train, but no subway. The Straßenbahn is very efficient and connects all points of interest, but can be busy at peak times. Most lines run at night time with a reduced service, allowing tourists to travel about the city without a car. For further information contact the tourist office on +49 (0)351 50 160 160.
Day Tickets — which allow you to ride on all trams, buses, most ferries and trains (except InterCitys and ICEs) — are relatively cheap and valid until the next day at 4:00 AM. As with most places in Germany, the public transport system operates on the honour system: you are assumed to have a ticket and inspectors are spot checking for passengers without a ticket. The exception is on the buses after 8 PM, when the drivers are required to see all tickets.
Car: The street network is very good and many roads have been refurbished recently, especially in the city centre, but can be crowded during rush hours. There are many parking lots in downtown Dresden and it should not be a problem to find a place to park. A number of automatic signs have been created, displaying the available number of free parking spaces, before entering the parking lots.
Car drivers in Dresden have a reputation for being more aggressive than in other countries — but it is also rumoured they are more friendly if you don’t have a local registration number!
Bicycle: Bikes are the fastest way to travel in rush hour traffic if you are travelling a short to medium distance. Bikes are also convenient for longer distances as they can be carried (with a separate ticket) in trams.
There are many designated cycle paths (marked red on pavements, or with a white bike symbol on a blue background) and it is mostly very easy to find a place to park your bike. Many of the older streets in Dresden (particularly in the northern, Neustadt area) still have a cobblestone surface so care should be taken when riding in wet conditions.
Alternative Transport: Dresden has a lot of biketaxis, mostly operating around the Old Town. They offer the typical (short distance) taxi service as well as guided city tours. Since 2007 there are also horse carriages available that offer sightseeing tours.
