The Opera dominated the arrangement. This remarkable Italian high renaissance building was completed in 1878. <br>Until the end of World War II, it was the most prestigious stage in the city. After elaborate restoration works the building was reopened in 1986. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, tickets for this marvellous opera house are almost always sold out. We shall plan ahead for our next trip to Dresden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hofkirche (Court Chapel) is also on the same square. It measures 4800 m\u00b2 which makes it the biggest church in Saxony. This impressive church is made of sandstone, has three naves and a partly detached tower that is 85.5 meters high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/elbblick.jpg\" alt=\"Dresden \u2013 impressions from the metropolis on the Elbe\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also part of the ensemble is the castle. This is where you find the \u201cGr\u00fcnes Gew\u00f6lbe\u201d (Green Vaults). We booked tickets online way ahead of our visit. Tickets are hardly ever available on the same day of the visit. Tickets are issued for a particular time slot and it is recommended to arrive early. Bags, cameras and coats are not allowed in the exhibition rooms &#8211; lockers in different sizes are available for safely storing these items. We enjoyed the visit a lot. Jewellery, gold works and valuables made from amber or ivory are displayed next to goblets with gemstones and artistic bronze figurines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/impressionen-elbe.jpg\" alt=\"Dresden \u2013 impressions from the metropolis on the Elbe\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nAs it slowly got darker we made our way to the Elbe bridges for some memorable impressions.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/dresden-bei-nacht.jpg\" alt=\"Dresden \u2013 impressions from the metropolis on the Elbe\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went for a little stroll through Dresden, a metropolis on the Elbe.
