Your Itinerary

Theaterplatz

The Theaterplatz of Dresden is where the city comes together to make its voice heard. Dominated by the imposing Semper Opera, the square is enclosed by the Royal Palace, the Cathedral and Old Masters Gallery and considered by many to be one of the most beautiful squares of Europe.

The Dresden Zwinger

Designed as a single sculptural entity, the Zwinger was to serve as the opulent entrance to a grand new royal palace that was never built. It is a reminder of the exotic and fantastic festivities once held here 300 years ago.

Royal Palace (Residenzschloss)

Built, burnt down, rebuilt. Repaired and extended, burnt, rebuilt. The Royal Palace is an eclectic guardian of the history of the family that ruled Saxony and is home to their astounding collection of treasures. We walk through one of its courtyards, but you can go in by yourself later and explore the museums.

Procession of Princes

100 metres long, 24,000 thousand tiles, the longest outdoor porcelain artwork in the world. There are secrets and stories hidden within it. See if you can spot them!

Frauenkirche Dresden

This is the symbol of Dresden, the personification of Dresden's rising from the ashes. You will learn to understand and appreciate the moving story behind its reconstruction.

Katholische Hofkirche

The Royal Cathedral of Dresden is a magnificent structure. Built in secret by a Catholic ruler in Protestant Saxony, the former court church has some unusual features and is one of the burial sites of the Royal family. We will see it from the outside and learn its interesting story.
