Dresden - sightseeing tour from Prague

Dresden is located just 80 kilometers from the German-Czech border. The way from Prague will not tire you and will run through the picturesque areas of the protected lands of Czech Switzerland.

Dresden is the administrative and cultural center of the free state of Saxony, which was once a separate kingdom. It was at the time of the political dawn of Dresden as the capital that the construction of its majestic temples, the castle-residence and the Zwinger museum complex, which now houses the world-famous Dresden Picture Gallery, was built.

The sad events of the Second World War left their mark on the appearance of the city. During the bombings, Dresden was destroyed almost to the ground, but as if the phoenix had risen from the ashes. The snow-white Baroque temple, Frauenkirche, was restored without exaggeration by the whole world, with donations coming from more than 20 countries.

During the sightseeing tour you can also see the opera house named after G. Semper, the Catholic temple of Gofkirche, in which according to legends still beats at the approach of the beautiful girl of the heart of the Saxon King Augustus the Strong, the Brühl terrace, also called the balcony of Europe, and the panel “The Procession of Saxon Electors”.

In addition to the attractions, Dresden is famous for its shops, a whole shopping district adjacent directly to the old city. In your free time, you can always pay attention to shopping.
