Description

Explore Dresden’s historic center on a private walking tour. See the Semper Opera House, Zwinger Palace, Residenzschloss, Frauenkirche, and more.
Meet your private guide at your centrally-located hotel or another central point in the city. Begin your journey through Dresden’s fascinating historic center at the Theaterplatz, where you’ll be greeted by the magnificent Semper Opera House, one of the most famous opera buildings in the world, and the impressive Zwinger Palace, a masterpiece of baroque architecture with its grand courtyards and pavilions.

From here, stroll towards the Residenzschloss (Royal Palace), once the seat of Saxon rulers, and continue to the iconic Frauenkirche, rebuilt after World War II and now a symbol of peace and resilience. Standing in Neumarkt Square, admire the harmony of the surrounding baroque buildings that have been carefully restored to their former glory.

The tour also includes the Brühl’s Terrace, often called the “Balcony of Europe,” offering beautiful views of the Elbe River, and the striking Catholic Hofkirche, the largest church in Saxony. Walking along the Fürstenzug (Procession of Princes), the world’s largest porcelain mural, see the long line of Saxon rulers depicted in Meissen tiles.

Your guide will bring the city to life with stories about Dresden’s royal heritage, its destruction during the war, and its impressive reconstruction, leaving you with a deep appreciation of the city’s resilience and beauty.
