What a great service the Dresden public transport system provides. I used the S-bahn for longer trips to outlying areas; but if you hang around the city precinct, you can’t beat the trams. The trams link to the S-bahn, that worked extremely well for me; you can get around very easily on the trams. I reckon as a mode of public transport, a tram network is very difficult to beat.

Firstly, the trams are electric so emissions are low, tracks laid all around the city so they carry people to all the popular places. This ensures routes are known and unlike the bus, they don’t get grid locked. My views may be a little compromised, my general view of Germany is very positive, I really can’t find any faults with Germany as a nation. As a smaller but not insignificant city in Germany, I believe Dresden is a fantastic location and as even a non-resident, I could see myself living in this city.
