In any German City (but I bet you know that already) you will find many very good high quality restaurants, and also ethnic food from a variety of countries (Not many British restaurants though :-))
Not many British restaurants though …
Not many, but there is one in Dresden : http://englandengland.de/en/
And of course you will find Irish Pubs in every German town with more than maybe 20.000 inhabitants.
No Zeppelin museum, but a Transport History Museum
They are closed on Mondays, except Easter- and Whit Monday :-)
WX prognosis for the northern and the middle part of Germany incl. EDDC turns out to be better than expected over the last days … good to see!
As I said, ETA is around 14 lcl, but I don’t know exactly about our planned activities in Dresden, this is my g/f’s task since her parents are with us – I guess the typical things but shopping, maybe Zwinger, the Frauenkirche, a ride on the river and all that stuff. I’ve never been in Dresden either (shame on me), so the time will be pretty much filled with excursions.
I learned that Lenthaman is in Dresden, too – who else has decided to fly in?
If the weather is ok I might fly up from Munich Saturday late afternoon and stay until Sunday, ort maybe stay until Monday morning and then fly to the Czech Republic for work after that.
I plan to be there, departing EGKA 0800Z Saturday.
I guess the flight would be 4-5hrs.
Not sure about passengers at this point.
Any airport PPR/PNR e.g. for Customs/Immigration?
Peter: EDDC is an international airport, so no problems w/ customs/immigration I assume. I wrote a short email to
(see AIP) and got an answer w/ regard to handling within minutes a couple of days ago. My recommendation is to do the same and ask about all the necessary stuff, brings you on the safe side.
Customs/Immigration will be available from 0400 – 2300.
I booked a nice apartment in the Altstadt (Historical City Center).
As for meeting up: I’m in for any suggestions.
A group activity (like a Segway tour or maybe a sightseeing tour on one of these historic paddle steamer boats) might be cool too…
A boat trip sounds good
If you’re riding around on boats and buses etc, you might try the hop-on hop-off bus and its loop across the river and back. Any ladies will like the Dresdner Molkerei and I found it interesting to walk back into the old neighborhoods that are like something out of a 1920s or so time warp.
