The splendid … Florence of the Elbe.
Dresden is, today, one of the most romantic cities in Germany. This is made possible, of course, by the presence of beautiful Villas and buildings, museums, and truly unique monuments, such as the Zwinger and the Frauenkirche. But it is above all its fantastic position, overlooking the Elbe, to excite visitors. Places, views and views really really impressive.
A city that knew how to roll up its sleeves after the nefarious events of the war and the bombardment of 13 February 1945. Since the 80 years, a tough phase of reconstruction has begun. For many years, and even today, Dresden has been a huge open-air construction site.
Despite this, it remains one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. A city full of art and culture and with lots of events. Concerts. Riverfront shows. Events … City of music and Christmas. Right here, in fact, is held the oldest market in the country: Striezelmarkt.
Dresden, a wonderful city, to be discovered all year round.
