Depends on the city. IN Berlin, you do not need a car. Out of Berlin, you have excellent train connections to Potsdam, Schwerin, Dresden and many other places.

Advance purchase tickets can save you a lot of money. Just be aware that there is no flexibility to make changes so be certain before you buy. Best fares go fast so if budget is important, buy them as soon as they become available.

Ah, things get complicated. The 60€ are the normal fare with Deutsche Bahn. There are, however, a few connections via Vogtland Express (VX). VX cannot be booked via Deutsche Bahn (however the website displays the connections). You pay directly on the train and the fare is 9.75€ one way. Thus, the VX is usually the cheapest connection between Berlin and Dresden - but you have to change trains in Elsterwerda.
This is the website (I am afraid, in German only):

If money is an issue, you can also check out the long-distance express bus between Berlin and Dresden. Fares start at €9 one-way.
