The guide was uniquely great! Had booked 1.1. at 12 o'clock, her name was Mrs. Salz I think🤷In any case, the woman has in-depth specialist knowledge and conveyed it so entertainingly and eloquently that it was a pleasure to listen to her. I will always have fond memories of this Semperoper tour. Top ! 12 out of 10 points👍

Your experience

Save money and experience the best of Dresden with this combo ticket, offering a guided tour of Semperoper and an after-hours walk around the city with the Night Watchman.

Explore Semperoper with a guide

On a 45-minute guided tour, choose between English or German commentary as you dive into the Semperoper Opera House's history. Learn how it rose from the ashes twice, meticulously rebuilt after fires and wartime destruction. Your guide will point out architectural gems like the ceiling frescoes and the horseshoe-shaped auditorium, designed to ensure optimal acoustics. Look up and discover the four panthers guarding the Semperoper's rooftop. These aren't mere decorations – they're symbolic guardians honoring Dionysus, the Greek god of theater, wine, and festivity.

See Dresden after dark

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. See the Frauenkirche, a Lutheran church rebuilt after WWII destruction, and the Zwinger Palace, a baroque gem dating back to the 18th century.
