If your next European vacation calls for a destination rich in history and fascinating attractions, be sure to consider a visit to Dresden. More than 800 years old, Dresden is one of Germany’s most popular tourist hotspots both for the culture and the industry. Let EscapeWizard.com help plan a Dresden adventure of your own!
Flying into the city is a breeze, thanks to the Dresden International Airport (DRS) located in the Klotzsche district of Dresden. You can book your flight using EscapeWizard.com by clicking (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php) to utilize our low rates on airfare. We can help with hotels, too, just click (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl) to browse available Dresden accommodations.
EscapeWizard.com has a few must-see recommendations for you upon your arrival. Don’t miss the Zwinger Palace, home of the famous Madonna Sistina of Rafael; Frauenkirche, the reconstructed Church of Our Lady with an impressive tower open to visitors; and Semperoper, considered being one of the world’s most beautiful opera houses. Dresden also has a number of important museums that EscapeWizard.com encourages you to visit to learn more about the city’s history. Visit the Albertinum Museum, the Green Vault Museum, the Museum of Mineralogy, the Dresden History Museum and the City Gallery of Dresden. There are several more throughout the city, so be sure to plan accordingly to ensure you’re able to visit all desired locations!
Dresden is also plentiful in outdoor attractions, so get some fresh air while exploring Dresden Neustadt, a lively area of town with a blend of history and modern day activity. Relax along the Elbwiesen, or river banks of the Elbe, the river next to which Dresden is situated. The banks are popular spots to grill out with friends or play recreational sports during warm weather. For a good dose of nature within the city, visit the Big Garden, referred to as Dresden’s “green lung” and an excellent place to relax or play. Finally, don’t miss the Dresden Zoo, one of the country’s oldest and housing around 3,000 animals.
Looking to satisfy your quirky side? Dresden can accommodate. Visit the Artists’ Court, a complex of courtyards with coffee shops and art galleries aplenty. Next, EscapeWizard.com recommends heading to the German Hygiene Museum for a glimpse into the hygiene practices of various cultures throughout the years. If you’re still looking for something different, EscapeWizard.com suggests making your way to the Pfunds Molkerei, recognized by the Guinness Book as the most beautiful milk store in the world.
Depending on the time of year of your visit, you may find yourself in Dresden during one of the city’s annual festivals. The Striezelmarkt is a long-running and highly popular Christmas market, taking place from late November through the end of December. The Dixieland Festival, Europe’s largest jazz festival, generally runs during the second week of May and attracts jazz enthusiasts from around the globe. More bragging rights for Dresden come by way of the Filmnachte, an event spanning from June until August on the banks of the Elbe. A large movie screen plays outdoor films and many concerts are also played throughout the season. If you’ll be in Dresden in June, you’ll likely catch some of the Bunte Republik Neustadt, a huge street festival in the Neustadt area of town. BRN brings forth musicians, tasty food, ample drink and late nights, making it the perfect refuge for devoted partygoers.
If Dresden sounds like a city you would enjoy, you’re not alone. The city sees millions of tourists each year and EscapeWizard.com wants to help you be the next, so book your German adventure today and experience this important city for yourself!
