Neustadt station is located in the Innere Neustadt, south-west of the Äußere Neustadt (outer new city) and north of the Elbe, which is crossed 600  metres away by the inner-city railway bridge, the Marienbrücke (Maria Bridge, named after Maria Anna of Bavaria).
The station is not in danger of being flooded by the nearby river.

Its spacious forecourt is called the Schlesische Platz (Silesian place), referring to the Schlesischen Bahnhof, the terminus of the Görlitz–Dresden railway opened by the Sächsisch-Schlesische Eisenbahngesellschaft (Saxon-Silesian Railway Company), which was located here.
Federal highway B170 (Hansastraße) runs next to it, as does the B6 (Antonstraße), which links to the major tram hub in Albertplatz, 400 metres away.

The typical German station district with a concentration of hotels, restaurants, a post office, banks and shops has not developed around it.
To the east there is an open development with numerous villa-style buildings, while to the west there are factories and dense housing estates in the Leipziger Vorstadt.
