Dresden, Saxon Switzerland and Prague by Campervan
Quick summary: South of Berlin, a campervan can link three highlights: Dresden, with its rebuilt baroque center around the Frauenkirche, around 2 hours away; the sandstone towers of Saxon Switzerland, including the Bastei and Königstein Fortress, a short drive further; and Prague, around 2 hours beyond Dresden across the Czech border. Riverside campsites suit a campervan or motorhome, and Prague has campsites with transit links.

What should you see in Dresden?
The Frauenkirche, the Zwinger palace, the Semperoper and the Elbe riverfront. Park outside the old town and walk or take a tram.
What is Saxon Switzerland like for an RV?
A national park of sandstone pillars and gorges along the Elbe, with the Bastei bridge, Königstein Fortress and hiking trails. Roads are narrow in places, and parking at the Bastei fills early.
How do you visit Prague?
Check that your rental allows travel to Czechia and arrange the Czech motorway toll. Stay at a campsite with tram or metro links, and explore the old town, castle and Charles Bridge on foot. See Prague tours.
