Getting here and parking
Whether you arrive by tram, bus or car, on a bicycle, skis ;-) or simply on foot, everyone is warmly welcomed to the Dresden Christmas markets.
If you intend to arrive by car, you should read the following information on parking in the city carefully in advance. Parking space is not only rare in the city centre during the Christmas period, and so visitors are generally recommended to use the park-and-ride facilities or other peripheral car parks.

The Münzgasse, with its cosy, romantic Christmas market, lies between the Frauenkirche and the Brühl Terrace.
Almost literally around the corner lies the medieval christmas in the former mews of the Royal Palace.
