Dresden Transit -> Strassenbahn
Postplatz

Dresden

This is the busiest junction in all of Dresden. It has also changed a lot between my visit in 1999 and 2008. In 1999 this area pretty quiet & at least 1 if not more tram lines terminated at the big circle. In 2008 trams no longer go around the circle but it is a very busy area with 8 tram lines. During my visit 1 street was closed for construction causing some re-routes. This is a fun place to watch trams!
