There are two main inter-city transit hubs in the railway network in Dresden: [[Dresden Hauptbahnhof]] and [[Dresden-Neustadt railway station]]. The most important railway lines run to Berlin, Prague, Leipzig and Chemnitz. A [[Regional rail|commuter train]] system ([[Dresden S-Bahn]]) operates on three lines alongside the long-distance routes.

===Air===
[[Dresden Airport]] is the city's [[international airport]], located at the north-western outskirts of the city. After German reunification the airport's infrastructure has been considerably improved. In 1998, a motorway access route was opened.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dresden-airport.de/homepage/company/structure-facts-staff/history/1989-to-2000.html |title=1989 to 2000 |website=dresden-airport.de |access-date=12 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130210175236/http://www.dresden-airport.de/homepage/company/structure-facts-staff/history/1989-to-2000.html |archive-date=10 February 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In March 2001, a new terminal building was opened along with the underground [[Dresden S-Bahn|S-Bahn station]] [[Dresden Flughafen station|Dresden Flughafen]], a multi-storey car park and a new aircraft handling ramp.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dresden-airport.de/company/structure-facts-staff/history/2001-to-the-present-day.html |title=2001 to the present day |website=dresden-airport.de |access-date=12 May 2020 |archive-date=20 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200320221514/https://www.dresden-airport.de/company/structure-facts-staff/history/2001-to-the-present-day.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
