Discover Dresden

Dresden is the capital city of the State of Saxony. Crossed by the Elbe River, Dresden is home to striking baroque architecture as well as lush green spaces. Over half of the city is maintained as woods and green spaces, making Dresden an interesting mix of a busy city and soothing natural spaces. Dresden is a great place for anyone who loves history or architecture, but don't shy away if those aren't your cup of tea. Dresden also offers impressive art galleries (both historical and modern), shopping, wine tasting and long strolls along the Elbe River.
