What to expect
The Dresden Zwinger
You will walk through the Zwinger with your guide and learn about its history
Frauenkirche Dresden
Newly built after its destruction in WW II, this is an architectural marvel with an inspiring story.
Theaterplatz
See the Opera House, Royal Cathedral and Old Masters Gallery from the outside and learn about their architecture, destruction and reconstruction.
Dresden Christmas Market
The Striezelmarkt is Germany’s oldest Christmas market, in existence since 1434! This is where the famous Dresden Stollen came into being. We will look for a baker that allows you to sample Stollen and tell you about the Glühwein (mulled wine) and other Christmas traditions. You will learn about other local delicacies and discover stories behind the world famous Christmas decorations.
Procession of Princes
Walk by the Procession of Princes, admire the ornate exterior of the Royal Cathedral and Palace, walk along Bruhl’s Terrace, also called the Balcony of Europe, and learn how it came to be called that.
Dresden Castle
We do not go inside the Museums of the Royal Palace during this tour. But if it is open, your guide will take you through the large courtyard decorated with the rare Renaissance technique 'Sgrafitto' and frescoes.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
