Questions & Answers about Traveling from Prague to Dresden

Is Dresden worth visiting?

Dresden is worth visiting for its stunning architecture, rich history, vibrant cultural scene, and beautiful riverfront. When you visit your trip, highlights will likely include the Frauenkirche, Zwinger Palace, and Semper Opera House. You should visit Dresden for at least two days, depending on what you want to see.

Is there a ferry or flight option from Prague to Dresden?

There are no ferry options from Prague to Dresden due to the lack of navigable waterways directly connecting the two cities. In addition, there are no direct commercial flights between Prague and Dresden due to the relatively short distance between the two cities. This means you cannot take a boat or fly from Prague's airport to Dresden.

How long is the train journey from Prague to Dresden?

A train trip from Prague to Dresden takes between two to two and a half hours depending on how many stopovers are involved in your trip. Train travel is scenic and comfortable for the most part, but you won't get to stop and sightsee like you would if you drove.

How do I get from Prague to Dresden?

To get from Prague to Dresden, you can take a car, taxi, train, or bus. The transport you choose will depend on your travel needs. Those on a tight budget usually prefer the bus, while those who want privacy, safety, and luxury choose a private car transfer service like Daytrip.

What is the cheapest way to get from Prague to Dresden?

The cheapest way to get from Prague to Dresden is to take the bus. Bus tickets start at around $15 (€14), and you'll have access to different amenities depending on the bus line you book with. However, although bus travel is affordable, it is one of the slowest ways to get between these two cities.

What is the best way to get from Prague to Dresden?

The best way to get to Dresden is to take a private car service. Daytrip ensures an affordable, safe, reliable, and exciting trip experience with a trustworthy company that has your travel interests at heart. No matter your trip needs, they will try to meet them.

Great transfer option.

“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Wonderful day trip!

“We booked this last minute and late at night...and we received exceptional communicaiton and service. The day trip from Prague to Dresden with 3 stops along the way was superb. The driver Erik was very polite and professional. The car was spotlessly clean and water was provided. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and would book this again without hesitation.”

Europe Uber in style

“We booked 3 seperate journeys with Daytrip to provide us with transport during our European holiday in August 2017. In order they were; Berlin to Dresden followed a few days later by Dresden to Prague & lastly from Prague to Budapest. As it turned out we had the same driver for each journey, - Tomas R who is based in Prague. These comments, therefore, relate to all 3 trips. For each Journey we had selected a number of sightseeing stop overs from the available selection provided by Daytrip. Each was very worthwhile & was something we would not otherwise have seen if we had not used Daytrip. Our driver Tomas was absolutely amazing & we cannot speak highly enough of him. At all times we felt extremely safe with Tomas behind the wheel & always arrived at our end destination on or about the estimated arrival time. His car was so clean and comfortable- Not only was Tomas a wonderful driver he was also an amazing guide & an endless source of information regarding each of the places we visited & many other things that we asked questions about on each of the routes we travelled. Was always happy to stop when requested. Being picked up and dropped off from Hotel to Hotel-saved time, money and anxiety! Definitely the very best way to travel. Over 3 seperate days we got to know Tomas quite well & found him to very friendly & a great communicator who spoke english very well. He was extremely patient in dealing with our numerous questions & went well beyond simply being our driver. I would not hesitate to use Daytrip again when next in Europe & would be more than delighted if Tomas was,again, our driver. Thanks to both Daytrip & Tomas for making our holiday extra special.

It started out to be just one transfer, but then .....

“My sister and I had booked transfers from Warsaw to Krakow, Krakow to Prague, Prague to Dresden and Dresden to Cesky Krumlov. We thought we would have a variety of drivers, and Jan S who drove us from Warsaw to Krakow was an excellent driver and very pleasant person. We were pleased with our first Daytrip experience. After our Krakow/Prague transfer with Michal I (Mike) we asked if we would be able to have the same driver (he lived in Prague) for our other transfers. Fortunately this request was able to be facilitated. Mike also was a very good driver. Often people who drive a lot themselves are nervous when driven by someone else. We did not feel at all nervous with him as he was a sensible and alert driver who read and pre-empted the traffic well and acted accordingly - i.e. slowed down well ahead of time instead of slamming the brakes at the last minute! So, Mike was our driver from Krakow to Prague, Prague to Dresden and Dresden to Cesky Krumlov. Apart from the safe driving, our driver, was a friendly, courteous, sensible and punctual person whose company we enjoyed. The fact that he spoke fluent English and fluent Czech (being of Scottish/Czech parents) was a real bonus because we were able to speak normally to him in a relaxed way (rather than having to carefully choose words that a non-natural-English-speaking driver would understand). Mike's ability to speak Czech equally well/naturally was very helpful with menus or other questions we had at road stops, etc. He showed initiative in finding suitable places for lunch at our side-trip stops. We would certainly recommend Michal (Mike) and should we return to Eastern Europe we would have no hesitation in requesting him as our driver in the future. We found communication with Daytrip easy - they were very professional in responding to emails at the original booking stage and provided us with contact details and name/s of the driver. It might be good if the drivers wore the same coloured and type of shirts or polo tops bearing the Daytrip logo so they were recognisable in the foyer of hotels (and this would be good for business as well!). All in all, we would highly recommend Daytrip. (Just be aware, though, that the vehicles are not black Mercedes such as you would find in Italy for similar trips - still they were newish cars, but perhaps not as large). Well done Daytrip! And how good it was not to have to worry about our luggage being taken into and out of the hotel foyers. Thank you!”

Transfer from Prague to Dresden, with stops at Bastei and Moritzburg.

“Transfer by car was so convenient, with pickup at our hotel in Prague and arrival at our hotel in Dresden. Our driver Marketa was very accommodating, assisted us with our luggage, accompanied us at Bastei and Moritzburg. Seeing the countryside was additional value. She found us a great authentic German restaurant along the way, and also served as our photographer. It was definitely worth the extra money over taking a train.”

Dresden to Prague

“I booked this trip with Daytrip over the internet even though the train would have been a straight forward and easy method of transport. I liked the flexibility of travelling with Daytrip because it meant we could choose stops along the way and there was door to door service. It was also reasonable value. We were not disappointed. Our driver Thomas was friendly, helpful and full of information. It was a great idea to travel through little towns rather than the train. I highly recommend this service.”

Fabulous and Informative Trip with Outstanding Guide!

“We are so excited to have discovered Daytrip! My husband has a health condition and walking can be difficult for him. Day trip proved to be the perfect solution! We traveled from Prague to Dresden in July with stops at Terezin Concentration Camp, Konigstein, and Bastei. Our guide, Marketa, was outstanding! She arrived promptly (actually she was a bit early which is always nice) at our hotel in Prague and was friendly, kind, interesting and knowledgeable. She was very considerate and accommodating of my husband's condition throughout our travels and tailored her pace to his. She also brought water bottles for each of us which was super thoughtful and appreciated. We learned much about Terezin and found our time there to be very humbling and sober - it was a highlight of our stay in the Czech Republic. Konigstein is a German cliffside fortress. It is a remarkable feat of engineering and the views from the fortress are AMAZING! The Bastei (also known as the Saxon Switzerland) is breathtaking. The rock formations are incredible and the views spectacular. Just FYI, I contacted Daytrip ahead of time to see if we could spend more time in each of the locations than is typically allotted and was told that is possible for an added expense (which we were happy to pay). At the end of our travels Marketa dropped us off at our hotel in Dresden making sure we were settled before she left. We totally enjoyed every minute of our day and it was a pleasure getting to know Marketa - she was fabulous!”
