Dresden

Baroque magnificence on the Elbe

Today, the Elbe metropolis is a regular feature as one of the most visited German cities. In 2013, it was even the seventh most popular city in terms of overnight stays. Visitors simply can't get enough of the historic town centre, with its impressive baroque and renaissance facades, the famous museums and the splendid views of the banks of the Elbe.

In the evenings, the lively new part of Dresden, the trendy part of town in 19th century style, attracts visitors to its pubs, clubs and cinemas.

All year round, 48 museums, 60 galleries and exhibition centres, as well as 36 theatres and stages offer a full programme for visitors. In the winter, the Striezelmarkt, one of the most beautiful Christmas Markets in Germany,

enchants its visitors. Dresden also has a lot of greenery and open spaces for people to relax and recharge their batteries. For anyone who wants to get back to nature, the Elbe Cycling Route (the most popular long-distance cycle route in Germany) is sure to please.
