East Germany round-trip – Nuremberg, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Dresden plus Prague

My recommendation is to find a hotel near Nuremberg Central Station. From there it’s very easy to get to the city centre and then you can quickly catch a train to Frankfurt or your next destination.
To get from the airport to the city centre or to the central station you need to catch the metro line U2 in the direction Nuremberg Rotenbach and get off at the stop Nuremberg Hbf (central station). The journey takes 13 minutes and costs EUR 3.30 (as of 01.05.2023). If you buy the ticket online it comes out slightly cheaper at 2.85 euros.
Tickets can be bought at the machines just outside the Arrivals hall exit at the airport. The machines accept debit and credit card payments. The entrance to the metro is 5 metres to the left of the ticket machines.

Here again, I recommend staying close to Leipzig train station. It is itself one of the city’s landmarks. Extremely beautiful and at the same time acting as a shopping centre. As well as being close to the station for your next departure you will also have the opportunity to do a bit of shopping. Unfortunately, there aren’t many budget hotels near Leipzig Central Station. The hotel I stayed at was the Ibis Budget Leipzig City – a fairly budget hotel as the name suggests, but offering everything you need for a few nights. It is a 15 minute walk from the train station. If you’re looking for something a little more upmarket you could try the Ibis Leipzig City, which is next door. The two hotels share one entrance and one lobby. The Ibis Budget Leipzig City has an interesting design and interior, which I understand is the new style of the Ibis Budget chain. I don’t know if everyone would like it, so it’s a good idea to look at the photos of the rooms before booking. For me it was a bit odd, but practical. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
