Restaurants are also quite rare in these surroundings, but take the tram to the city and you‘ll find wha- tever your heart desires: Dresden Neustadt is the vibrant and hip part of town with many restaurants, take-away-places, bars and clubs. To get there, just take tram no. 8 (direction Südvorstadt) and get off at stop Louisenstraße. Then walk into Louisenstraße and explore.

Dresden Altstadt is the historic part of town, there are many things to see such as galleries, museums and old historic buildings.
