Getting there
Getting to the theatre
Reaching the travesty theatre in Dresden’s Neustadt by tram or taxi, finding the ticket desk, the cloakroom and access, and getting home after the bar closes.
Check for a revue night ↗Quick answer
Take tram line 11 to the Diakonissenkrankenhaus stop; the theatre on Prießnitzstraße is a short walk away. Arrive up to 30 minutes before the start and exchange your voucher at the ticket desk by the entrance. A ramp leads to the lower audience level, so tell the theatre ahead about a wheelchair place. Afterwards, the cloakroom staff will call a taxi on request.
Where it is
The theatre stands on Prießnitzstraße in the Äußere Neustadt, north of the Elbe. Your voucher gives the full address. The theatre describes its location as the edge of the Neustadt, with road access from the B6, known here as Bautzner Straße. The theatre lies outside the old town, so allow for a river crossing if you are staying south of the Elbe.
By tram
The theatre sits in the Äußere Neustadt, a short walk from the nearest tram stop, which the theatre names on its directions page. Dresden's trams link the main station, the old town and the Neustadt, and the theatre is a short walk from its nearest stop. If step-free travel matters, the theatre suggests checking the stop and the vehicles with the transport company before you set out, as their accessibility can vary.
By taxi or car
A taxi is the simplest way for a group, especially on the way home. Drivers can use the B6, Bautzner Straße, for access to Prießnitzstraße. If you drive, the theatre suggests the multi-storey car park on Bautzner Straße or a paid space in the surrounding streets. There are no reserved disabled parking bays directly at the theatre. A drink at the table and a drive home do not mix, so most visitors from the old town will find the tram or a taxi the easier choice.
At the door
The voucher lets you in up to 30 minutes before the start. Go straight to the ticket desk at the entrance and exchange the voucher, which can stay on your phone, for your ticket; the voucher asks you to leave time for this, and a queue is the one thing that can make you late. The cloakroom is directly by the entrance. If you plan to eat at your table, remember that the theatre asks diners to come earlier than half an hour before, so contact it after booking to agree a time.
Access
The revue is wheelchair accessible. The theatre has a ramp into the auditorium’s lower audience level, suitable for wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs, and an accessible toilet. Because the seating is at tables, the theatre places wheelchairs individually rather than in fixed spaces, so tell it about your needs as early as possible, ideally when you book. Staff on site will help. There is no tactile guidance system for blind and partially sighted guests at present, so bring a companion if you need one.
Getting home
The after-show party keeps the bar going once the revue ends, so the evening has a natural, unhurried close. When you are ready to leave, the staff at the cloakroom will call a taxi for you on request. The tram stop is a short walk away for anyone heading back by public transport; check the times for your trip back before you set out. Crossing back over the Elbe, the old town’s skyline is lit across the water.
