48 museums, 60 galleries and exhibition venues as well as 36 theatres and stages promise a packed schedule all year round in Dresden, the so-called "Florence of the North". The Striezelmarkt is one of the most enchanting Christmas markets in Germany and definitely a must-visit

in December. The green city of Dresden also offers lots of open spaces to relax and recreate. If this is still not green enough for you, we recommend a cycle tour along the Elbe Cycle Route, Germany's most popular long-distance cycle path.
