Tips & Advice

  • Buy your time-slot ticket online before your visit, because Manufakturzauber tickets are sold only in advance and not on the day.
  • Consider leaving the car at home, because your ticket works as a VVO public transport fare on the day of the event, except on special services.
  • Take tram 4 toward Weinböhla to the Schloss Wackerbarth stop; the S1 to Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda leaves you about a 15-minute walk toward Meißen.
  • Arrive at the start of your booked time slot so you have the full window to browse more than 50 artisans and regional food makers.
  • Bring the children along, since Landesbühnen Sachsen puts on a program especially for young guests during the market.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Your Manufakturzauber ticket doubles as a VVO public transport fare on the day of your visit (special services excluded).
  • Free entry for visitors with a valid Schwerbehindertenausweis, booked as the free child time-slot ticket; companions pay the regular price.
