public transport

Public transport is a really convenient choice for getting around in Dresden. If you plan to use it, we suggest that you get yourself either the one-week ticket for 25,-DM or the 4-weeks ticket for 69,-DM. Tickets can be bought at the station of tram 3 just outside the institute.

money

You will only receive your travel money, after you completed and submitted the "questionnaire" as in your welcome folder.

There is a "Sparkasse" just down the "Nöthnitzer Straße" (towards "Plauen") which features an international automated teller machine.

food and beverages

Eventually you may want to get yourself some food and beverages from outside the institute's cafeteria. Insider sources have told us that within 5 minutes walk along the tram tracks towards the city center, you will find a bakery and a butcher on the right hand side of the street. A few more minutes in the same direction will get you to a general food store (Konsum) on the left hand side of the street.

The Technical University Dresden (TUD) has a mensa which offers a large variety of meals every weekday. Follow the Nöthnitzer Str. in the direction of new MPI buildings and take the third (?) street to the left.

You can also go towards the center of Plauen, where you will find many shops. Just follow the Nöthnitzer Str. (direction opposite to the TUD)

In case you want to sample the local cuisine, there are many restaurants and pubs located in the "Neustadt" (new city) area of Dresden. Take tram 3 until station "Albertplatz", and enjoy your meal.

shopping

The main shopping part inside Dresden is very close to the main train station. Take tram 3 until "Pirnaischer Platz" and then its 300m until the "Prager Straße".
