Meissen and Dresden – Porcelain Capitals of Saxony

Not yet touched by the "tourist" raid of the town, which has preserved its old traditions - winemaking, for example, or cozy home restaurants, where the owner himself prepares delicious, fragrant German dishes. Pleasant gingerbread houses, where live kind, red-cheeked Germans who love to gather in the main square at lunch, enjoy a juicy mug of beer and tell each other simple city news. Life here is very measured and calm. For many, many years. Still stand at the post age-old towers, rest on the sky spires of the Gothic temple and tiled roofs keep the secrets of the houses of local inhabitants.

Meissen was once the capital of Saxony. The rulers of the country lived here. They made the fate of the people. And here they “invented” Meissen porcelain, thin as paper, for the clearance. And so elegant that you can admire the openwork statuette for hours - so it is "alive" and beautiful! Porcelain flowers “bloom”, poured with colors, it seems, even smell. The porcelain ballerina is delicate and graceful, she moves in dance, swims and freezes. The porcelain hunter froze in anticipation of prey. His muscles are tense, his steel eyes are focused, and his chest is afraid to breathe.

Whatever you say, it is not for nothing that Meissen porcelain is considered a miracle. It's not plates and cups. It's high art. Aesthetes need to see it to get inspiration.

And, as a gift, we will visit nearby Dresden - also the former abode of the Electors of Saxony. Picture Gallery of the Old Masters, a treasury dotted with jewels ... in general, the tour promises to be rich.
