About Dresden

Although suffering extensively from the the bombing raids of WWII many important landmarks where painstakingly re-built, ensuring the city retained it's characterful Baroque-style architecture. Stroll around the Old Town of Dresden and marvel at the elegance of the reconstructed Frauenkirche Church with it's magnificent dome and enjoy the atmosphere of the many markets and events held in the historical Altmarkt Square. Dresden's world class reputation for art and culture is evident in it's remarkable collections, displayed in twelve museums including the wonderful Old Masters Gallery and Green Vault. Orchestras and choirs of great repute regularly perform at the Semper Opera House and at other exciting venues around Dresden.
