OK, I'm going to Germany on Sept 29 or 30, and I'll be there on October 3rd. So where should I spend October 3? I need to be in Dresden bright and early October 4th, so probably prefer the East side of the country. Görlitz is worth a visit. Regards, ULF |

I did some basic research on the city via the internet and I thought it was interesting. However, if you have been there and you claim the only attraction is the new shopping centre in the railway station, then I guess I'm just gonna have to take your word for it and scratch the city from my list of places to visit. |

Isn't the Nickolaikirche, where the Unification movement was born in 1989 still there? And the Thomaskirche, where Bach was choir master? Yes, there are the two churches and the Altes Rathaus, but unless you walk very slowly they aren't going to take you a whole day. tim |

I need to be in Dresden bright and early October 4th, so probably prefer the East side of the country. Last year, I went on a Prague-Dresden-Berlin vacation. Basically flew in to Prague and after a few days, took the train to Dresden (about 2 hours) and after a day in Dresden, took the train again from Dresden to Berlin. I then flew back from Berlin. I would recommend both Berlin and Prague. The only problem is I'm not sure what how early you want to be in Dresden on Oct 4th because the train schedule to Dresden from Berlin or Prague may preclude this option. And, Alas, I don't know this yet, either. I do now. I check in in Dresden, and take a placement test on October 4. There is no reason I can't come from Berlin that morning. Tonite I'll make Hostel Reservations in Berlin for Sept 30 through Oct 3.
