Most sites in or near the city centre, including Bauhaus building, Master houses, Georgium park, can be reached by foot.
However, if you want to visit some more parks and palaces in the suburbs or vicinity of Dessau, walking is not an alternative. Flat topography and a dense and reasonably maintained network of bicycle paths make touring by bicycle the recommended way of getting around. You can take bikes on regional trains within Saxony-Anhalt for free, from outside Saxony-Anhalt for a couple of Euro. There is a bicycle hire in front of Dessau main station in the Mobilitätszentrale mobility centre, prices are 6 to 7 Euro per day.
Getting around by car is generally easy. There is not too much traffic. Finding a parking space is usually no problem, parking fees may apply in the city centre. Some fine landscape in the Mulde or Elbe meadows are not accessible by car though.
There is public transport, too. Two tramway lines start at the main station and connect with the south Line 1 and the west Line 3 of the city. Several bus lines serve all parts of the city. However, they have poor frequency esp. at weekends and do not serve places of tourist interest easiliy. In many cases you will reach your destination by walking even before some bus even came by, by cycling anyway. Tickets for a single jouney are 1,50 Euro at the Mobilitätszentrale or vending machines also in the trams, 2 Euro at the bus driver.
