Meißen was the cradle of Saxony, a bustling city in the 10th -15th Century. Then it declined in importance. The upside? It still retains its quaint charm, narrow cobblestone streets and buildings that date back to as early as 13th Century. We will wander the city centre and visit an architectural marvel considered the earliest residential castle in Germany built in the 15th Century: the Albrechtsburg and its loyal companion the Cathedral- a pure Gothic structure. The pièce de résistance however is the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory where artists lovingly work their material to create Saxony's coveted and admired 'White Gold'. The demonstration workshops provide an opportunity to see the process and the museum showcases the 300 years. The Café serves coffee in pure Meissen cups, and the boutique and outlet stores allow shopping for a future family heirloom. We can have lunch overlooking the red rooftops of Meißen or in the square with the oldest Renaissance buildings.
We take the train from Dresden Saxony to Meissen and first visit the Manufactory where you will take a tour of the demonstration workshops with an audio guide. Then I will guide you through the museum and allow you time for shopping. This will be a total of about 1. 5 hours. We will then take a shuttle to get to the top of the castle hill. Here we will visit Albrechtsburg castle. The castle Histopads will provide a glimpse into court life in the 1400 and 1500s. This will be followed by a visit to the Meissen Dom. We can then lunch at a local restaurant with a view of the rooftops before walking down the hill exploring the narrow cobble streets and old buildings, or have lunch in the market square once we reach the bottom of the hill. This walk takes about 15-20 minutes. We then walk back to the station (another 15 minutes or so) to take the train back to Dresden.

We will travel by public transport for this tour. The S-Bahn or regional train runs every 30 minutes and takes about 25 mins to get to Meissen. From there it is only a 10 minute walk to the Meissen Manufactory. From the factory we take the shuttle up to the castle. On the way down from the castle we walk and explore the town.
