With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Meissen, 20 miles away, has to offer. Meissen Porcelain Factory, Albrechtsburg Castle and Meissen Porcelain Museum alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t forget about Moritzburg either! Just 20 miles away, Moritzburg Castle, Castle Wackerbarth and Elbepark Dresden are non-negotiable stops here.
