For Travelling Fans

In the first of a random series designed to help those innocents amongst us who travel abroad to games, Dresden CSC sends us this excellent summary of the German city to help anyone who is going to see the Hoops there this summer.

As the season progresses, if the Celts are due to visit your home town, feel free to send information that you think will help fellow Tims to enjoy their trip.

 

 

For those you are travelling to the Dynamo v Celtic game in July, here are some links for travel, pubs, etc, to get you around town.

Flying into Dresden
– There a bus service to take you from the Airport to tram stop ‘Infineon Nord’. Buy a single journey ticket (€2.20 – valid for 1 hour)
– From there, take the 7 tram in the direction of Pennrich (tram system in Dresden is fairly easy to follow and similar to most cities) (this link will give you the transport map for Dresdenhttp://www.dvb.de/en/Homepage/)
– At Pirnaischer Platz, get off and you’re ~50m from the Dubliner Irish Pub and ~800m from the stadium

Flying into Berlin
– Bus from Shönefeld to Dresden is outside the terminal
– The following link, will get you to the website to buy a ticket (https://www.berlinlinienbus.de/index.php?lang=en)
– Taking the bus to the Dresden Hauptbanhof (main train station), you actually pass Pirnaischer Platz and the stadium before getting there, ~5mins later. Very easy to make your way back to the pub!!

Pubs In Dresden
This link shows the 3 main pubs we choose to watch tha games (http://www.shamrock-dresden.de/)
– Irish Fiddler is where we typically watch the games. Located in the Neustadt, too far to walk to the game
– The Shamrock is the oldest and usually the main one travelling supporters are located before a game. Police actually encourage fans to go there!! Walking will take 15-20mins for the game.
– The Dubliner is the closest to the stadium! 5-10mins away and you can see the floodlights from the pub

Fans
Dynamo fans have a core of fans who pride themselves as hooligans! Everyone I’ve talked to don’t expect any trouble, but just be careful! These ‘hooligans’ do go out their way to look for a fight, but in the whole, the game should be trouble free.

Well, I hope this helps some of you if you’re making your way over for the game and we hope you have a great time!
