Description
Experience the beauty and resilience of Dresden as you explore its historic streets and landmarks. Discover the magic of this reborn gem in the heart of Saxony
Dresden, the charming capital of Saxony, is always worth a trip. The classic view of the city from Elbe’s northern bank will make you wonder if indeed the city was all but wiped off the map by Allied bombings in 1945. Now, Dresden is a beautiful city reborn like a Phoenix from his ashes. Once known as the “Florence of the North”, the silhouettes of its towers and domes belonging to palaces, churches and stately buildings still emerge from every corner.
At the centre of it all, we have the Semper Opera House, regarded as one of the most beautiful European opera houses. A top example of "Dresden Baroque" architecture, it has a long history of premieres, including major works by Wagner and Strauss. Be sure to notice the “Procession of Princes” mural, the largest porcelain artwork in the world, displaying a myriad of royal members of the House of Wettin, dating from 1127 until 1904. It is located on the outer wall of the Stables Courtyard of Dresden’s Castle.
