Dresden, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe

★Baroque architecture on the wrist★ In Germany, Dresden is the 'spokesword of culture,' the capital and largest city of Saxony, one of the ten major cities in Germany, and the second largest city in eastern Germany after the capital Berlin. Dresden is an important cultural, political, and economic center in Germany, as well as a significant scientific research hub, boasting the highest proportion of researchers among large German cities, and is the core of 'Silicon Saxony.' The Dresden University of Technology is one of the top universities of technology in the new federal states after the reunification of East and West Germany, selected as part of the TU9 alliance and one of the eleven elite German universities. Historically, Dresden was the capital of the Kingdom of Saxony for a long time and also served as the capital of Poland for a period, with hundreds of years of prosperity, brilliant culture and arts, the highest urban greening rate in Europe, and numerous exquisite Baroque buildings, earning it the reputation as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Before World War II, it was the city with the highest standard of living in Europe, and in the late stages of the war, it suffered massive bombings by the Allies. After the war and until the reunification of East and West Germany, Dresden was reborn from the ashes, selected as one of the eleven 'German cities of charm' by the German National Tourist Board, and ranked among the top ten tourist destinations, attracting a large number of tourists every year for sightseeing, also known as the 'Florence on the Elbe'.
