Dresden Zwinger

Highlight • Historical Site

The museums in the Zwinger are very interesting and the inner courtyard invites you to linger when the weather is nice. What's good: Once you have paid admission, you can visit the Old Masters Picture Gallery, the Mathematical-Physical Salon and the Porcelain Collection as well as all current special exhibitions.

View of Dresden Old Town from Königsufer

Highlight • Viewpoint

In a broader sense, the term Königsufer often also refers to the entire Neustadt Elbe bank. The Neustadt Elbe bank is the landscaped Elbe bank zone in Dresden between the Rosengarten and the Marienbrücke and is located in the Inner Neustadt, parts of which are in the government district. It is lined with a number of remarkable buildings and works of art.

The extensive lawns on the bank serve as a buffer zone during high water and give the Königsufer a very spacious appearance when the water level is normal. A walk there offers wonderful views of both the impressive buildings on the land side (Neustadt) and the old town backdrop on the other side of the Elbe. In many places you can get right up to the water's edge of the Elbe, the ground there consists largely of larger pebbles or earth.

June 7, 2025,Stadtrundgang in Dresden

Seventeen years have passed since my first and so far only visit to Dresden, but unfortunately, I won't be able to experience the Saxon metropolis in sunshine this time either. Let's see if we can get a little closer next time.

April 16, 2022,Dresden Tagestour

A wonderful day tour through Dresden. We managed the most important tourist sights in Dresden's old town well in the morning. It was still quite cool in the morning. But in the evening the weather gave everything again with warm, bright sunshine and Dresden gave us a wonderful goodbye. The old town was very busy, but that was to be …

Today we're going all out, Christmas market hopping in the Old Town.

I need some exercise, so I walk to the Semperoper opera house, while my human takes the tram. We arrive almost at the same time.

First, we walk along the Procession of Princes to the Transport Museum, as it's still too early to go to one of the …

Since I was in the southern suburbs for lunch, it was a good idea to take a stroll from south to north on the way back in the beautiful weather. I really enjoyed it 🤩.

June 27, 2022,Dresden - Innere Altstadt

Dresden has been on my wish list for a long time. And there is certainly sooooo much to hike here (and in the surrounding area) and to discover and admire. But since there were only three days ahead of me, I started with the most obvious on day 1 - with a classic tourist tour - the inner old town.
