Discover Dresden, the "Florence of the Elbe"
Tour description
The city of Dresden began as a small medieval center along the Elbe River, reaching its peak during the Baroque period in the 18th century. This was the city's golden age, with numerous buildings constructed and the Prince Elector's court hosting internationally renowned artists such as Johann Sebastian Bach. In the 19th century, the city became the capital of the Kingdom of Saxony and one of the driving forces of industrial development in eastern Germany. Sadly, much of the old town of "the Florence of the Elbe" and its works of art were destroyed by the catastrophic bombing raids of February 1945. During the GDR era and up to the present day, the city rose from its ashes. Our tour begins at the Frauenkirche, Dresden's iconic church and symbol of peace, which was rebuilt after the destruction of World War II. We'll then stroll along Brühl's Terrace—with beautiful views of the Elbe River—admire Dresden Castle and the Court Church, and in front of the Fürstenzug, learn about the history of the Wettin family, the ruling family of Saxony for 800 years. To conclude the tour, we'll talk about the Dresden Opera House and end at the Zwinger, a gem of Saxon Baroque.
