You will see the stunning baroque architecture and ornate exterior of Zwinger Palace, including the grand entrance gate and beautiful fountains (in 2025 is the courtyard still under reconstruction). Expect 10 minutes walk from the car park.

Semper Opera House (Semperoper)

Augustus Bridge (Pass by)

Augustus Bridge, a notable structure in Dresden, dates back to the 18th century. As you explore the city, you'll have the chance to capture photos of this historic bridge that spans the Elbe River, as well as the picturesque Elbe River promenade known as Brühl's Terrace, often referred to as the "Balcony of Europe." Here, you can take in breathtaking views of the river, the charming architecture of Dresden, and the lively atmosphere of the city's riverfront.

Bruehlsche Terrasse

Frauenkirche Dresden

  • 20m
Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), a magnificent baroque church in Dresden, is renowned for its stunning architecture and historical significance. Rebuilt after total destruction during the war, it symbolises resilience and rebirth, rising like a phoenix from the ashes. Optionally, you can visit the Dome's viewing platform, accessible via 174 steps (no lift). Entry fee to the observation platform is not included (10 EUR/person). From there, you'll enjoy a unique view of Dresden, first glimpsing the church interior and then the cityscape. Those who don't go to the viewpoint can spend time on Neumarkt Square right in front of the church at the Neumarkt Christmas Market.

Procession of Princes

  • 10m
The Procession of Princes (Fürstenzug) is a famous Dresden mural mosaic, composed of thousands of porcelain tiles, depicting a grand procession of Saxon rulers across the centuries.
