Bautzen – where everything is close at hand
Bautzen is a great place to live, with everything you need to live and work within easy reach. And the city offers a great variety of cultural activities and facilities that can add a special touch to your daily life.
Bautzen is superbly located and has excellent transportation links. Whether by bike or car, you can be out in the beautiful countryside in no time. Dresden is only 28 minutes away by car and public transport is very convenient: Trains to Dresden run every 30 minutes, and the journey takes just 35 minutes, so that you can enjoy all the benefits of small-town life and still have easy access to urban centres in Germany and abroad.
Relaxation right on your doorstep
Bautzen is a delightful place to be, and not just because of its beautiful old town. True, the old town is easily accessible on foot and offers plenty of shopping, restaurants and the ‘Green Ring’ - Bautzen’s city park. But the beautiful countryside, which is ideal for walking and hiking, is also easy to get to. In Bautzen, rest and recreation for the whole family is right on your doorstep! If you are into sports, there are lots of great opportunities for that too, like the long-distance cycle routes “Spreeradweg” and “Sächsische Städteroute” which pass through the city.
Just outside the historic city walls you will find the Bautzener Dam. Here, glittering water, lush green vegetation and golden sand are nature’s invitation to sit back and relax. The Bautzen dam offers many leisure activities for young and old – a climbing park and high ropes course, nature camping and many sporting activities around the lake.
Excellent care – especially in an emergency
You can rely on excellent medical care - especially in an emergency. Bautzen Hospital is located in the city centre. From ophthalmologists to dentists – in Bautzen you will find all the medical assistance you need.
