Organized Tours

Bus Tours

Responding to the flood of visitors coming to see the city's historic core, Stadtrundfahrt Dresden, Königstrasse 6 (tel. 0351/8995650; www.stadtrundfahrt.com), has organized a flotilla of red-and-white buses that feature -- via prerecorded descriptions and headsets -- running commentary in eight languages. April to October daily from 9:30am to 5pm, buses depart at 30-minute intervals for circular tours of the city that incorporate overviews of all the major monuments. From November to March daily service is from 10am to 3pm. Visitors can hop on or off the bus at any of 22 points along the way, and they can even postpone some of the stops until the following day. Each tour begins at the Theaterplatz, adjacent to the Augustusbrücke. Additional stopovers include the Zwinger, the Grünes Gewölbe, the Frauenkirche, and many of the parks, gardens, and architectural highlights of the city. The price is 22€ per adult, with no discounts for students; children 13 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.
