Altenburg-Nobitz Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Altenburg-Nobitz is a small airport, with few flights and no hotel attached to the terminal: those arriving always need to travel on to Altenburg, about 5 km away. For a dawn flight or a late-night return it's worth booking a taxi in advance, because bus 328 to Nobitz runs only once an hour and doesn't cover every time slot. Those with more time find in Altenburg's historic centre the residential castle and the Großer Teich park, with hotels clustered within walking distance of one another; those travelling for work find meeting rooms in the more outlying properties.

Pros
  • A few steps from the market, the castle and the railway station
  • More choice for dinner and breakfast than in the outlying areas
