The capital of Saxony is called Dresden and is located on the Elbe River. The beautiful baroque architecture brings many visitors to a city trip to Dresden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The historic center of the city was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War. The most important buildings have been rebuilt and so you can visit the Frauenkirche, the Residenzschloss, the Zwinger and the Semperoper. A walk along the Br\u00fchlsche Terrasse or in the Elbe Valley offer relaxation between museum visits and city strolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the heart of Dresden's city centre lies the Renaissance building of the Residenzschloss. It is home to some of the city's most beautiful and interesting museums, and here you can visit the world-famous Historic Green Vault.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Dresden Residence Palace →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> The former machine house of the \"Aktienbrauerei zum Feldschl\u00f6sschen\" is located in Budapester Stra\u00dfe. Here you can not only drink the beer of the Dresden brewery, but also enjoy good hearty food.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Feldschl\u00f6\u00dfchen Stammhaus →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Dresden not only has an aerial tramway, here a funicular railway also runs up the Loschwitz slope of the Elbe.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Funicular railway in Dresden →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> The Semper Opera House, an opera house that many visitors to the city on the Elbe know from the outside, is located on Theaterplatz in the historic city centre of Dresden. You can also take part in guided tours of the building.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Semper Opera →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> A little off the beaten track, in the Neustadt district, is one of the most impressive and depressing places I have visited so far, the Bautzner Strasse Dresden Memorial, a former \"Stasi\" prison.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Bautzner Strasse Memorial →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Every year around the end of November the oldest Christmas market in Germany opens its gates; the Striezelmarkt in Dresden. We went on an excursion to this traditional Christmas market in Dresden.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Striezelmarkt →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> We went for a little stroll through Dresden, a metropolis on the Elbe. We\u2019d like to share our impressions. Especially when it gets dark the scenery becomes fascinating.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Dresden \u2013 impressions from the metropolis ... →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Dresden is home to the Frauenkirche (Chruch of Our Lady). The original name \u201cUnserer Lieben Frauen\u201c (Our beloved ladies) got shortened over the years to become the term that is used today: Frauenkirche.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Frauenkirche →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> The Neust\u00e4dter Markt (Neust\u00e4dter market) is in the inner New Town of Dresden. It is the intersection of Hauptstra\u00dfe (Main Road), Augustusbr\u00fccke (Augustus Bridge), K\u00f6pckestra\u00dfe and Mei\u00dfner Stra\u00dfe.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Golden Horseman on the market square ... →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Every time we had visited Dresden I was magically drawn to it - the Procession of Princes. It really is a shame that a piece of art like this is so well hidden in Dresden.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Procession of the Princes →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Right in the heart of Dresden is what might be the most well-known building of the Baroque period \u2013 the Zwinger Palace Dresden. It is a must-see for every visitor and it is pretty in every season.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Zwinger Palace Dresden →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> The bridge \u201cBlaues Wunder\u201d (literally: blue miracle; figuratively: German idiom for a great surprise or shock) is a peculiar bridge. It is a suspension bridge.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Blaues Wunder - Blue Wonder Bridge →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> The three Elbe Castles are located on the Elbe hillside in Dresden. They are called \u201cAlbrechtsschl\u00f6sser\u201d by the public and are part of the World Cultural Heritage Elbe Valley (2007 \u2013 2009). Each of the three castles is nice to look at.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Castles in the Elbe valley →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>
