Dresden on the weekend

A short trip to Dresden - a royal city

Dresden, which was the residence for Kings of Saxony for centuries, is a perfect city break destination with a variety of leisure options for families, couples or friends. Known as the Venice of the river Elbe and the Jewelbox for its architectural Barocco and Rococo opulence, it will enchant you with its warm elegance. Even milk shops are refined here, e.g., Pfunds Molkerei, which even got into the Guinness Book of Records for its Neo-Renaissance beauty.

Dresden

Dresden offers attractions suiting any taste. Which will make your weekend here unforgettable. Culture lovers will appreciate the most extensive European collection of valuable objects of king August the Strong, which is now exhibited in the Green Vault museum. To admire even more art treasures, one should visit the Zwinger, one of the Dresden landmark architectural complexes. It has many curiosities on display including a stunning porcelain collection. Another site worth visiting is the Frauenkirche, which was resurrected in 2005 after being ruined during World War II. The Semper Opera house suffered the same fate, but after it was rebuilt, it became one of the most popular venues for opera and jazz performances. A good way to save money during your stay is to buy a Dresden Card, those are available in different versions, depending on where and what you want to receive a discount on.
