The lady (unfortunately I can't remember her name) gave a great and very informative tour. I could have listened for a few more hours.

The tour of the Semperoper was informative, with little anecdotes, the lady had a very pleasant voice, she had a very nice manner. An all-round success.

The detailed and informative explanations about the history of the Semperoper and the clever construction. It was annoying that several guided tours took place at the same time and the explanations of the other tours could be heard...

Ticket reservation worked well, the guided tour through the Semperoper was great, the highlight was Mr. Nowak, who conducted the tour, his dry humor was the icing on the cake.

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.
