A Private Tour to Dresden: Discover Florence on the Elbe River

Today, with a population of just over half a million, Dresden which is also nicknamed "Florence on the Elbe", was famous throughout Europe for its stunning baroque architecture and artistic treasures. From the end of the war and by 2006, the 800th anniversary of Dresden, the city authorities were able to full restore the destroyed city including the magnificent Church of Our Lady (Dresdner Frauenkirche) in the city center. The most important historical monuments are the famous Zwinger Palace, the stunning Royal Palace with the fantastic Green Vault, Old Masters and New Masters galleries, the Catholic Court Church, Brühl's Terrace, the world's longest mural paintings, portraying Saxon rulers from the 11th to the 19th century and the Semper Opera House. After a walking tour of the city, you can visit either one of the world-class museums or have lunch at one of the authentic Saxon or Bavarian restaurants as it will perfectly fit in our standard tour time.
