Where to stay in Äußere Neustadt
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Nightlife decides the choice here. Rooms in the streets around the Martin-Luther-Kirche sit inside the bar and club district that Äußere Neustadt is known for, which suits some travellers and rules the quarter out entirely for others. The Dreikönigskirche side runs calmer.
Beds nearer the Alter Schlachthof Dresden or across toward the Golden Rider keep the walk short without putting the late hours directly under the window.
