[2025 Dresden Attraction] Travel Guide for SKD | Porcelain Collection (Updated Mar)

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.
