One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to the International Congress Center, DRS to a hotel by the Altmarkt, or the Hauptbahnhof to the airport after a EuroCity from Prague. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: DRS to a hotel in the Neustadt or by the Altmarkt on arrival, and back to Klotzsche after the congress or the plant visit. For a December trip to the Striezelmarkt, when the city is at its busiest, the return is best fixed at the outset. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pickup times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at DRS, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

Dresden Airport to Dresden: Route and Drive Time

The airport is in Klotzsche, in the north of Dresden, and the drive to the centre is 13 km, usually 25–35 minutes by car.

As the airport is on the northern side, the river shapes the end of the trip. An address in the Neustadt, on the north bank of the Elbe, is reached without crossing a bridge, while the Altmarkt and the hotels of the old town lie on the far side of the river. Downstream, the International Congress Center and the Ostragehege exhibition halls sit about 14 km from the terminal, 30–40 minutes.

Both Dresden-Neustadt and the Hauptbahnhof are served by ICE, EC and IC trains, with links to Prague and Wrocław.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. With the flight number and the full hotel address in the booking, the car is routed to the correct bank of the river.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Dresden Airport

Dresden has one passenger terminal, opened in 2001, so there is no terminal to choose and every flight arrives in the same building. Flights connect the city with hubs in Germany and Switzerland and with sun destinations in Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Italy and Spain.

For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.

The terminal also has its own S-Bahn station: the S2 needs about 14 minutes to Dresden-Neustadt and about 21 to the Hauptbahnhof. A car is the alternative when the hotel is some way from either station, when the bags are heavy or when the group has children with it.

Arriving at Your Address in Dresden

On the south bank, the Altmarkt is home to the Striezelmarkt, Dresden's Christmas market, with more than 200 stalls. In Advent the old town is at its fullest, so an address near the Altmarkt needs precise details. The International Congress Center, the Messe and the other venues in the Ostragehege by the Elbe can together host congresses of up to 6,000 delegates; name the hall or the congress entrance. Chip making brings a third kind of visitor. Infineon's Smart Power Fab, a project of 5 billion euros, started up in July 2026, and ESMC is building a wafer fab in the city; for a plant visit, the gate named in your invitation is the address to book. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.

From Dresden Back to Dresden Airport

The drive out takes 25–35 minutes from the centre, a little more when the Elbe bridges are busy in the rush hour. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Every departure leaves from the single terminal, so the airport side needs no instructions. From a hotel in the Neustadt, the car stays on the north bank of the river all the way.

In Advent the Striezelmarkt draws crowds into the old town, especially in the evenings, so a late-afternoon departure from the Altstadt deserves extra time. Part of the Carolabrücke collapsed in September 2024, and the city council chose the design of its replacement in September 2026; until then the other Elbe bridges carry the traffic. A delegate leaving straight from the final session can be collected at the International Congress Center rather than at the hotel.

At which Dresden station does the EC to Prague call?

When does the ESMC wafer fab start production?

The ESMC plant, with TSMC as majority owner, was topped out in September 2026, and volume production is planned from the end of 2027.

Is a hotel in the Neustadt or in the Altstadt easier to reach from the airport?

The airport is north of the Elbe, as is the Neustadt, so no bridge is needed; the Altstadt lies across the river. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.

Our congress delegates land at DRS, Leipzig/Halle and Prague. Can each be collected?

Yes. A delegate landing in Prague is collected in Prague, one landing at DRS in Klotzsche, each with a booking of their own. When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation.
