Hire a car in Chemnitz with Hertz
Known as the third largest city in Saxony, Chemnitz is a thriving municipality of technology, education, and most importantly leisure and tourism. Often referred to as the 'City of Modernity', it's one of the top places to visit in Germany if you want to enjoy an endless flurry of attractions, landmarks, shopping, dining, and so much more. Car hire in Chemnitz is the best way to see it all, and our local branch found on Neefestraße is close by to make that happen. If you want to experience the stunning Opera House, museums, and theatres you're best hiring a car in Chemnitz.
The unusually stunning and small park spaces of the Villa Esche, only a quick five minute journey using the B169 and B173, is a wonderful place to see if you rent a car in Chemnitz. Don't think of your car hire as a means to an end, think of it as an extension of your holiday, bringing all the popular must see attractions to you. Hiring a car in Chemnitz means you can also see Rabenstein Castle, brought closer to you in just a 15 minute trip outside the city. As the smallest, most preserved castle in Saxony, it definitely is an unmissable treat.
As well as touring the city itself, you can also use your hire car to enjoy mini adventures out. Dresden is the capital of Saxony, and as such delivers non-stop action - if you and your family, or just you, fancy a day out to remember, this city is the place to do it. The Frauenkirche is a wonderful sight to behold; having been awarded for its excellence, you'd be mad to miss out on it. Best of all you can make a journey to the top of the dome and appreciate the spectacular views. What could be better than that?
