Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Dresden

• The Zwinger sits in the center of Dresden's old town and is easy to reach from the main station by tram or on foot; public transport is recommended because car access to the city center is limited
• December in Dresden is cold; the official pages do not say whether the Wallpavillon is heated, so warm clothing is advisable for the walk and the evening
• Hotels in Dresden are in high demand during Advent and between Christmas and New Year, so book your stay and your concert tickets early
• Popular December dates are partly marked as high demand or sold out in the ticket shop
• Plan a walk through the old town before or after the concert; Dresden traditionally hosts Christmas markets during Advent
