== Moving on... ==
To get from Dresden to [[Berlin]], there are fast trains running every other hour, and the train ride takes less than two hours. Since it is a relatively short ride, an upgrade to 1st class isn't really necessary. However, make sure to have reserved seats, this leg can be quite busy.
As an alternative, you can rent a car for the rest of the trip. However (even though I said different earlier), I recommend against it for this leg, since you'll have that car in Berlin, but no real need for it. It's pretty though to find parking in Berlin, so I'd say wait with the rental car for the next leg from Berlin onward.
