What it is
Dresden is best seen from the Elbe: the Brühl Terrace, the Frauenkirche, the cathedral and the Royal Palace in a row above the river. The paddle steamers of the Sächsische Dampfschiffahrt leave from the Terrassenufer landing stages, right below the terrace.
How it works
Line 72 is the city trip, an hour and a half, daily. If you have more time, line 61 goes up the Elbe to Pillnitz Palace and continues to Bad Schandau, in Saxon Switzerland. Tickets are by zone: from €15.50 for adults and €11.50 for children and students for one zone. You buy them at the ticket office at landing stage 2 or on its website.
