2025 Dresden Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Dresden is the capital of the Sachsen dynasty in Germany and the most valuable cultural heritage city in the former East Germany! As a cultural center, Dresden is known as Florence on the Elbe. The Saxon dynasty was ruled by the powerful August der Starke, and the territory he ruled became the largest in European history, with its Zwinger Palace, rich cultural heritage and splendid art and culture. The magnificent Zwinger Palace was also built during his time and currently houses a number of valuable works of art. The ceramic collection here is particularly noteworthy, as it houses porcelains that were coveted by European princes and nobles, including an astonishing number of porcelains imported from China and Japan. As a way of showing off wealth in the 18th century, Chinese and Japanese porcelain were hung on the most prominent walls of the palace for appreciation. There is also the famous Meissen ceramic crafts, which is said to be the largest in the world. However, there are still some unfinished projects in progress, which will more or less affect the viewing experience of taking photos.

Taking the train from Erfurt to the ancient city of Dresden made me feel like I had traveled through time and was in Europe in the ancient centuries. This city is so full of history that it is hard to imagine that it was once destroyed in the war, but now it has been miraculously rebuilt so completely, restoring its splendor and elegance. When we were walking in the ancient city that day, we happened to meet a couple exchanging vows during their wedding. Under the sun, their smiles and happiness added a layer of warmth and romance to the entire city. Dresden is not only a paradise for history lovers, but also a place full of love and hope. 📍 Address: Dresden, Germany #DRESden #romanticwedding #ancientcitytrip #europeantravel #historicalreconstruction #happymoment #2024 travel review

Speaking of travel destinations in Europe, we can easily come up with a list of ten to twenty European cities, but most of our lists would not contain this name: Dresden. Torn and burnt to ashes during WWII, Dresden has since undergone a series of reconstruction, under which I genuinely felt the phoenix has reborn. The entire city area, despite small, had incredibly intricate architecture and decorations. It has a lot of classical/baroque influenced architectural details, to a point it doesn’t feel so much like a typical German city like Cologne/Stuttgart/Munich but England/Paris. Every corner feels like a photography material, but too bad, it was rainy all day during my visit. Highly recommending one to throw Dresden to their to-visit list, even just for a day trip. #europetrip #dresden #travel #solotrip #hiddengem

Traveling from Dresden to Berlin in Germany, I woke up early in the morning to catch a cheaper train. When I arrived at the train station, I happened to see the sunrise, which was a pleasant surprise besides saving on the fare. The train station in the morning wasn't too crowded, so it didn't feel scary. Watching the sky gradually brighten with the sunrise along with the train tracks had a unique charm.

Being in Germany of cos we did not miss the Pork Knuckle in a cosy German restaurant which is a must-try German dish🤗

#VisitPalacesandCastles #100TravelTips 🏰 The beautiful and grand “Zwinger Palace” must be photographed from a distance to capture the full picture. It was modeled after the Palace of Versailles in Paris. 🍂 This palace was built in true Baroque architecture by King Augustus II of Poland who returned from France. At that time, King Louis XIV of France moved the French court to the Palace of Versailles. King Augustus loved the Palace of Versailles so much that he ordered the construction of this palace in Dresde. 🍂 Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/B9dfLcairrKKwqBQA?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

#HistoricSightseeing #100TravelTips #ChristianChurch #GermanyTravel 🌿 Arriving in Dresden, this is the first place you come to… Do you want to see with your own eyes if it’s true what you’ve heard? 🍷 Unbelievable… but it really happened. Dresden Frauenkirche is a Christian church in the capital city of Saxony, Germany. The building is in the ancient Baroque style, designed by George, an architect at that time. ⛪️ Unbelievably, the church was once destroyed to the point of being ruins, bombed during World War II, but was able to be restored to its original beauty in almost every way. 🌾 According to the information, the restoration period cost a lot of money and required advanced technology. Every piece of brick and debris was collected and reused, returning them to their original positions as much as possible. However, some parts were missing, so it was necessary to replace them with new stones. The new stones were cut using high-pressure water cutting technology, which allowed the stones to be perfectly shaped, grooved, and formed as desired. It took a very long time. 😱 Personally, I think it was worth it. 🧊The church is open for free admission every day from 10:00-12:00 and 13:00-18:00 🍂 Location: Dresden Frauenkirche (German)

The iconic Frauenkirche, a symbol of the city's resilience after World War II, stands proudly in the heart of the Altstadt (Old Town).

The Zwinger Palace, an 18th-century masterpiece, is a marvel of Rococo design, housing galleries that boast magnificent artworks from the Renaissance to the Romantic era. **Cultural Extravaganza:** Dresden's cultural scene is as diverse as it is rich. The Semperoper, one of the world's most exquisite opera houses, offers captivating performances that transport you to another world.

The Albertinum, another cultural gem, showcases modern art in a setting that juxtaposes the contemporary against the historical. **Riverside Charm:** A leisurely stroll along the Elbe River provided moments of tranquility. The picturesque scenery, with the sun setting behind the silhouette of the city's skyline, was nothing short of breathtaking. Local vendors dotted the riverbanks, offering delightful snacks and souvenirs, adding to the charm of this serene setting. **Culinary Delights:** Dresden's culinary scene is a delightful fusion of traditional German fare and international influences. From hearty bratwursts and sauerkraut to delicate pastries and aromatic coffee, every meal was a culinary adventure. Local beer gardens provided a perfect ambiance to savor regional brews and engage in conversations with friendly locals, creating unforgettable memories. **A Warm Hospitality:** What struck me most about Dresden was the warmth of its people. Locals were eager to share the city's history, recommend hidden gems, and engage in conversations about life in Dresden. Their friendliness added an extra layer of richness to my travel experience, making me feel like a welcomed guest rather than a tourist. In conclusion, Dresden is a city that captures the heart and soul of its visitors. Its architectural wonders, cultural richness, culinary delights, and warm hospitality make it a destination that lingers in your memory long after you've left. Whether you're an art enthusiast, history buff, or simply a traveler seeking new experiences, Dresden offers a captivating journey through time and culture that is nothing short of magical.

1.) Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Picture 123 With centuries of history, Cologne is one of the best cities in Germany to explore. Located on the western edge of the country, this city blends everything together and is perfect for a weekend getaway. For me, the most impressive landmark must be Cologne Cathedral. Located on the banks of the Rhine River, it overlooks Cologne and is well worth a visit. Not only that, but there is also a lot of history within its walls. The Gothic architecture of the cathedral is the most ambitious building project since the Middle Ages. 2.) Rottenburg, Plot 456 One of the most vibrant and colorful places in Germany is Rothenburg. Well, at least in my opinion! Rothenburg is located on the edge of the state of Bavaria in northern Germany, and is one of the best tourist destinations in Germany. For many years, it has been included in the route of the Romantic Road. 3.) Burger Figure 7 One of the treasures of the Elbe River is the city of Hamburg. Trust me, Hamburg has too many epic sights! Although it may not have the "advantages" of Berlin, as one of the best destinations for city travel in Germany, it has a strong influence. 4.) Dresden Figure 8 Dresden is located in the Saxony region of Germany and is a city about the size of Edinburgh in the UK. This makes it big enough to be vibrant and full of things to do, but also small enough to explore over a long weekend. Dresden was once known as the "Jewel Box", housing several luxurious buildings and artworks. 5.) Munich Figure 9 Munich is known as the capital of Bavaria and is undoubtedly a very beautiful city, as well as one of the most worthwhile places to visit in Germany. Not only that, Munich can be the gateway to the wider Bavarian region, and can also easily become the starting or ending point of your travels.

Dresden has many treasures and resources. It has natural wine regions, rich palaces and castles, and the largest and most abundant collection museum in Europe. It is truly a gem on the banks of the Elbe River! Dresden is a well-known wine-producing region in eastern Germany, with a complete wine production chain and picturesque vineyards. There is also a wine road in Saxony waiting for us to discover. We visited the Wackerbarth Castle winery this time, a vineyard that resembles a castle. The scenery alone made us a little tipsy. The grapes here are mainly used to make white wine. Each grape must pass strict selection standards before entering the wine-making process, and the requirements for raw materials are very high. Of course, there is a wine tasting session in the winery. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the best wine I have ever tasted. There is no sour taste like ordinary wine when it enters the mouth, and both the taste and aftertaste are a refreshing and sweet deliciousness. Drove to the city center for lunch and went to a tastefully decorated restaurant with an elegant medieval castle atmosphere. Even the dining seats were designed to look like a carousel, full of childlike fun. After lunch, we started our street sweeping mode. This is the Zwinger Palace, the most eye-catching Baroque-style building in Germany and a symbol of Dresden. It was built in 1709 and served as the residence of the ruling families of the Saxon Kingdom throughout history. With its intricate curves and decorations, it is magnificent and dazzling. In the center is a wide square, surrounded by palace buildings in a circle, and exquisite stone carvings can be seen everywhere. This is the Saxon Palace, which has been the residence of the Saxon kings since the 15th century and the center of power and politics in the region. The Green Dome (Green Vault) connected to it, with an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters, houses more than 3000 royal collections, which are definitely worth savoring. The Green Dome has many exhibition halls, divided into exhibits of royal goods, equestrian equipment, exquisite ornaments, etc. The exhibition is reasonable and the placement is extremely aesthetically pleasing. Every collection is amazing, and my friends and I lingered and were amazed at how a craft was crafted so delicately hundreds of years ago. The world's largest green diamond is truly dazzling! Here, the exhibition showcases the related clothing and accessories of European palace archery in the past, along with introductions, which looks very interesting. This is the king's battle cloak, with exquisite embroidery stitch by stitch. In addition to the rich exhibits, the architecture of the Green Dome is also very impressive, all hidden treasures~ Looking out from the Green Dome, the streets of Dresden still retain their medieval appearance. Dresden is an inclusive city where ancient horse-drawn carriages and modern trams blend together seamlessly, each with its own reason for existence, creating a harmonious coexistence without any sense of discord. The Pillnitz Palace is located in the suburbs of Dresden. It is a chinoiserie-style castle and the summer palace of the Kingdom of Saxony. Unfortunately, we went on a Monday when the China Palace was closed. It is said that there are many Chinese elements in the exhibits, so we can only hold onto our expectations and wait for the next encounter. The Palace of Pernitz is surrounded by a magnificent garden. Although it is not possible to enter the museum for a visit, it is also great to enjoy the scenery in the garden. Everywhere is lush green, which has a taste of summer in the castle. Actually, behind the palace, there is a beautiful corridor with rows of pillars. From a distance, it creates a strong sense of depth and is a great place for filming~ About some travel tips for Dresden: Green Dome Treasure Hall: Opening hours: The Old and New Buildings of the Green Dome Treasure Museum, the Arsenal, the Coin Exhibition, the Turkish Weapon Museum, and the Oil Painting Portrait Museum are open from Wednesday to Monday from 10:00 to 18:00, and closed on Tuesdays.

The old streetscape remains and it is said to be the Kyoto of Japan and the Dresden of Germany. It is also famous as the birthplace of Christmas markets. It is famous for its traditional German sweets, such as Baumkuchen and Eierschucke.

Dresden is the second largest city in eastern Germany after Berlin and an industrial center. Although it has a long history, World War II changed everything and most of the buildings you see today were rebuilt after the war. On February 13-14, 1945, Dresden was almost razed to the ground due to carpet bombing by Allied Air Force bombers led by the United States. The dark bricks of the Frauenkirche (7-9) were picked out one by one from the rubble after the bombing. It is said that each brick was numbered, while the light-colored bricks were new bricks used in the post-war reconstruction. #GermanyTravel #HistoricalBuildings #Church #WWIIRelics #dresden

How to get there - from Borna by car it takes 2 hours to get to Dresden. By train it is cheaper at 9e (the government subsidizes this train ticket for 3 months to travel all over Germany for 9e) Special points - I really like the massive architecture here Hotels - many luxury ones are expensive Food & Restaurants - I find the food to be normal, Vietnamese food is more dominant Shopping - mostly expensive branded shops and museums #awesomepic #couplestrip

Dresden, Germany is very close to Prague, Czech Republic. It only takes about 2 hours by international bus, which is very convenient. Dresden's architecture is exquisite and magnificent, with a more luxurious feel than Munich. Each building is magnificent. Molkerei Gebruder Pfund is the most beautiful cafe in Dresden. It opened in the 19th century and has a long history. The cafe is mainly in black and white, and its design style tends to be gorgeous and palace-like, which is very beautiful.

Today, I will introduce you to a cafe in Dresden called Coselpalais! Many people visit Dresden briefly during the Christmas season. I will introduce you to a cafe that you must visit at this time. It is actually a cafe and a restaurant! There are tables outside. During the Christmas season, there are campfires(?) and blankets prepared! There are a lot of drinks and cakes, and the prices are reasonable! (I attached the receipt in the last photo!) The recommended menu is a cake called "Eireschaker". It is a famous German dessert, so try it👍🏼 📍Location: An der Frauenkirche 12, 01067 Dresden 📍Opening hours: Mo - Su from 11:00 - 20:00

Today, I'm introducing the oldest Christmas market in Germany! This small but crowded place during the Christmas season is located in Dresden and is usually called Stiezelmarkt~ You may have seen the photos taken from the observation deck on social media. Unfortunately, I visited on the 24th, which was the last day of the market, so I couldn't see the view after the sun went down! 📍So if you want to take a photo of the view from the observation deck, I recommend visiting before the 24th! My sister who was studying abroad told me that the Dresden Christmas market has a theme every year! So the roofs of the market stores are decorated according to a different theme every year👍🏼 The foods in the photos are famous here🙂 The Christmas market was canceled again this year due to Omicron, but I hope it will open again next year〰️😭 #PleaseWinter #Christmas #ChristmasMarket #ChristmasAtmosphere

I found some photos that captured the beautiful scenery of Dresden! Dresden is a small city, so you can enjoy it in half a day. Although I couldn't capture all the beautiful buildings hidden in the alleys of the small city in the photos, I still tried hard to take photos from various angles. The gelato I had in Dresden is really memorable. >< #PleaseWinter #DresdenTravel

When I went there, it was Christmas season, so I could find Christmas markets everywhere I went! Dresden also had its own Christmas market. I remember the warm smell of bangs and hot chocolate at the Dresden Christmas market, and the atmosphere of the alleys and buildings of Dresden😆🎄 #PleaseWinter #DresdenTravel

We were lucky to see everything outside without huge crowds of tourists, the weather was very kind to us. The exterior ( just like everything in the old part of Dresden ) proves that people can do fantastic things, not just being capable of destroying everything they build. On the other hand, the gallery is nowhere near complete - there are supposed to be a few hundred paintings inside while there are only 55, just the first floor with 3 halls are available for visiting. Next (upper) part of the gallery will be open in March 2020. The staff at the entrance ( and inside the gallery ) are quite rude. My sister had a tiny bag ( smaller than mine - I have my photo equipment in it, usually put it in front of me and hug it - worked in every museum so far ) was rudely told to take it down to the lockers yet many people with bags was bigger than hers were allowed in without any problems. Quite a bad experience. The palace was built by Agust Mocny, who was elected King of Poland. August was known for his penchant for glamor and interest in women. Historians say he had three hundred illegitimate children and a lot of lovers. The lovers were divided into three categories and no biographies of the King were able to catalog everyone. Zwinger is a magnificent palace in the Baroque style with neoclassical elements built in the 17th century. The inspiration for the construction of Zinger was Versailles. #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Introducing Dresden and Pirna, tourist destinations in Germany! During World War II, many buildings in Dresden were damaged, but it still retains the unique atmosphere of Eastern Europe. In Dresden, you must visit the Zwinger Palace! The Zwinger Palace is a representative tourist attraction in Dresden. There are many things to see, such as museums and art galleries, and the architecture is really beautiful both inside and out. Pirna is a neighborhood really close to Dresden, and unlike other famous tourist destinations, it is a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. There is a small river flowing by, and across it are cute pastel-colored buildings. If you are tired of crowded places, I recommend Pirna! #GermanyTravel #WorldTravel #Dresden #Pirna

The Frauenkirche in Dresden is a beautiful Protestant Cathedral. It's one of the most recognizable attractions in Dresden and certainly worth a visit. The interior is quite stunning, especially the view up into the dome and cupola.
