Good organization. Dresdencard for 3 days is not necessary afterwards. A day ticket or one-way ticket is better and cheaper. Public transportation is very well developed. Everything is within easy reach.

Der Nachtwächter hat das Geschichtliche mit sehr viel Komik vermittelt, es gab immer was zu lachen. Daher war es nicht so trocken wie man es ab und zu kennt von Stadtführungen.

Semperoper

On a 45-minute guided tour, choose between English or German commentary as you dive into the Semperoper Opera House's colorful history. Marvel at the opulent interiors, meticulously reconstructed after fires and wartime destruction. Your guide will point out architectural details and share stories about legendary performances that graced this stage. Marvel at the legendary acoustics – a unique blend of design and modern technology ensures every note reaches every seat. Don't miss the chance to admire the four rooftop panthers, symbolic guardians honoring Dionysus, the Greek god of theater.

Night watchman tour of Dresden

As dusk settles, go on a captivating 1.5-hour night watchman tour. Your costumed guide, complete with a traditional lantern and halberd, will lead you on a journey through Dresden's historic center. Sip on a complimentary Schlummertrunk, a warm, spiced nightcap, to fuel your exploration. Imagine yourself transported back in time, hearing spooky stories and historical anecdotes by iconic landmarks like the Frauenkirche, a majestic Lutheran church rebuilt after WWII, and the Zwinger Palace, a baroque masterpiece.
