Dresden—the city of precious jewels, deep history, modern art, and nightlife—has much to offer its visitors. This private walking tour takes you through some remarkable sights that you will not soon forget.

Walk around the Dresden City Center

Hop on a train or a private vehicle and travel to Dresden while your guide informs you about the significance of any sites you pass by. Walk through the Dresden city center to explore the gardens, courtyards, and colonnades of the Versailles-style Zwinger buildings and the part-Renaissance, part-Baroque Semper Opera House. Marvel at the stunning Dresden Castle, with its massive towers and crenellations. Listen to the stories of the Saxon ruler, Augustus the Strong, at the Saxon Court Church, that keep his legacy alive.

Admire the Murals and the Reconstructed Church

Witness the world’s largest porcelain-tile mural—the Procession of Princes, representing the past legendary Saxon leaders. Climb up to the dome of the precious Frauenkirche, a monumental Protestant church, which was reconstructed with great care after being destroyed in the Allied bombing raids in WWII.

Explore Dresden in your Free Time

Take the time to survey the city streets at your own pace. Visit the flagship stores of the world's most famous porcelain manufacturer, Meissen, or the Museum of Military History, the best of its kind in Germany, or even the Pfunds Molkerei, which calls itself the most alluring dairy shop on Earth.
