We were told to be there 15 minutes before the tour started, but were still only let in at the time the tour started. I find that unfavorable. In addition, the tours were so tightly timed that the background noise was so high that we could only understand very little of the guide. But what we did understand was very interesting.

It was wonderful to see the opera when it wasn't full. It was a special privilege to see the stage open. We also learned many interesting facts about the architecture. Photos only with photo pass!

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.
