Dresden & surroundings

Dresden sights & places to explore

Famous landmarks and the stories behind them: a first look at Dresden and its surroundings.

Bastei

Sandstone formations and wide views over the Elbe valley make the Bastei a familiar destination in Saxon Switzerland.

Courtyards, pavilions and intricate details make the Zwinger a distinctive part of the baroque royal city.

The dome above the Neumarkt is one of Dresden’s best-known views. The church tells a story of faith, destruction and rebuilding.

A long procession on the outer wall of the Stallhof connects Saxon rulers’ history with porcelain.

A green counterpoint to the Old Town, the Great Garden offers space to walk and a different view of Dresden.

The treasures in the Royal Palace make this a distinctive Dresden museum experience. A visit needs its own time and arrangements.

High above the Elbe, fortress history and landscape meet. Allow enough time for a visit.

Beyond the main palace, the Moritzburg landscape holds a smaller, charming discovery.

Old Town, castle hill, porcelain and wine: Meissen combines a striking setting with plenty of subjects for a personal outing.

The palace, set in a landscape of water and woodland, tells stories of courtly life beyond Dresden.

East of Dresden, palace architecture, gardens and the river come together beside the Elbe.

Music, architecture and city history meet on Theaterplatz. The façade alone rewards a closer look.
