The Verkehrsmuseum Dresden, housed in the historic Johanneum building at Neumarkt, presents the history of transportation in Saxony and beyond. Originally constructed as a stable for the Elector’s horses in 1586, the building has seen various renovations, the most significant being under King Johann between 1872 and 1876. Key attractions include a range of exhibits on road, rail, air, and maritime transport, along with historical artifacts linked to the region's transport development. The museum is wheelchair accessible, and visitors can take advantage of guided tours. Opening hours are generally from 10 AM to 6 PM daily, with an admission fee of about £7 for adults and free entry for children under 6.
