Directions
by Tram
- Walk to the tram stop Hp Freiberger Straße
- Take the tram line 10 (direction: Striesen) to Straßburger Platz
- As you exit the tram, you can already see the transparent factory. Keep right, and use one of the bridges to cross the moat in front of it. Look for the illuminated letters LESAGE, the name of the dinner venue.
As a central hub, the station Straßburger Platz is also serviced by the following tram lines: 1, 2, 4, 10, 12, 13. For up-to-date departure times, please check https://www.dvb.de/en-gb/. You can also use the website to calculate the fastest connection back to your hotel.
Tickets
A single-journey ticket costs €2.30 and can be used to travel throughout Dresden for one hour. If you use the tram more than once, you can save some money by purchasing a 4-trip ticket (€8.20), which can also be shared with others (e.g. 2x2 trips, 1 hour each). For more than two trips in one single day, a day pass is the cheapest option at €6.00.
Please check the DVB website for more information on tickets and current pricing.
Tickets can be purchased at ticket machines at major tram stops or on the trams themselves. Please be aware that tickets bought at the stops must be stamped upon entering the tram to become valid. You can stamp your ticket by inserting it into one of the orange boxes that are located close to every entry.
by Foot
(ca. 30-45 minutes)
