The 1 Coswig railway station (Anhalt) is with regional trains over the route Dessau–Falkenberg (Elster) reachable. There are hourly connections to Dessau and Wittenberg. The next long-distance traffic stop is Wittenberg.
In the street
Coswig has a descent on the Motorway A 9 Berlin – Munich. There the driver changes to the B 187 from Rosslau to Lutherstadt Wittenberg. If you come from Berlin, you leave the autobahn at the exit Köselitz and changes to the B 107, which goes via Coswig Graefenhainichen on the Dübener Heide. Since the B 107 south of Coswig only bridged the Elbe with the help of a yaw ferry, the section between Coswig and Worlitz downgraded to a district road and the federal road on this section merged with the A 9, which runs further west.

A memorial stone in the forecourt of the palace commemorates political prisoners imprisoned here during the Nazi era.

- 3 Simonetti house. The half-timbered house with a typical hipped roof was built in 1699 as a noble residence. The house served at times as the apartment of the Coswig bailiff. According to a city-historical legend, the house was acquired by the Prussian Crown Prince and later King Friedrich Wilhelm around 1780 and rebuilt for his beloved Wilhelmine Enck (Madam Rietz, Countess Liechtenau).
