Rich in history: Dresden's Old Town
A city as beautiful as a symphony, with a biography as exciting as from an adventure. Dresden is traditional and, at the same time, ultra modern, politically demure and yet pleasure-seeking as well. The state capital of Saxony is a cultural metropolis, a place of beautiful art and the home of numerous world-famous sights. The picturesque skyline of this 800-year-old city is reason enough for a visit. Stroll past buildings of international standing such as the Zwinger, Brühl's Terrace, the Semperoper and the Frauenkirche. The church was destroyed during the devastating bomb attack on Dresden in 1945 and thanks only to unprecedented international commitment, the building was rebuilt as a historical landmark. These days it is moving to see how its domes shape the face of the city once more.
Marvel at the cultural wealth and diversity of Dresden by visiting the sights and the magnificent Old Town. Dresden's wonderful nature, found beyond the Old Town, can best be appreciated by an extensive walk along the Elbe and its floodplains. A variety of bicycle rides along the Elbe bike paths and the enchanting hinterlands will bring a feeling of relaxation and well-being.
Dresden is not only one of the most exciting cultural cities in Germany, it will also mesmerise you as a shopping destination. With its unequalled flair, the Baroque district around Königstrasse comes highly recommend as one of the many excellent shopping districts. Here you will find an array of boutiques, art dealers, galleries and excellent restaurants. The beautiful and diverse shopping area in the heart of Dresden is also a fundamental part of the world-famous Canaletto view from Elbe riverbank in the new town - one of the most magnificent city views in the world.
Water, sun and a pleasant landscape: leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and recharge your batteries amidst Dresden's unique hinterlands. Explore the striking sandstone cliffs in Saxon Switzerland, wander through the wild and romantic mountain peaks of the Osterzgebirge and be enchanted by the charming ridges of the Lausitzer highlands. Wackerbarth House, one of the most well-known vineyards in Germany's smallest wine-growing area, promises a veritably up-lifting experience with its regal Baroque house and gardens. Wackerbarth House is also famous thanks to the truly awe-inspiring views from the bottom of the well-manicured vineyards. A place where it is well worth taking an extended break.
Pure inspiration, culture and nature. One of the most diverse and lively cities in Germany awaits you. Feel welcome and make yourself at home. We are happy to be your host.
