Overview of your Dresden tour:

Hear the stories of ambitions, dreams and secrets which will bring the city and its history alive. Discover the Dresden of today and of ages past while walking through the resurrected city centre and taking in the iconic city landmarks such as the Royal Cathedral, Church of Our Lady, the Semper Opera, the spectacular Dresden Zwinger, Procession of Princes and the Royal Castle filled with its ample treasures. These are some of the many buildings you will see from the outside. I will also discuss possible options of what you can do after the tour ends. This is an essential tour to get introduced to Dresden. It can be customised and adapted or even extended in several ways depending on your interests. It can, for example, include a short 'coffee and (scrumptious) cake' break that the Germans so love, add on one of the museums or combine it with an excursion to Pillnitz (see my 'Pleasure Gardens of Pillnitz' tour for details), or schedule a wine tasting to sample the local wine.

Your Dresden tour itinerary

During the tour we will walk past and see from the outside the following: - Royal Cathedral: There's an entertaining story there about its construction. Curious? - Theater Platz and Semper Opera: Dionysius and Goethe are clearly visible, but there's an unexpected literary figure to be found. - Dresden Zwinger: See this venue for extravagant parties demonstrating power and wealth. - The Royal Palace: They've been painstakingly reconstructing it for years and I'll like to show you the results while walking through two of its courtyards open to the public. - The Procession of Princes with its wealth of hidden symbols. This is my personal favorite as I love discovering new ones. - Church of Our Lady: this magnificent structure represents the city's rebirth. If the Church is open at the time of our tour we will take a look inside. - The New Synagogue: Will you like it or hate it? It's always 50-50, find out which camp you belong to! Coffee and cake break if planned.

Transportation Details
Type: Walking

The city centre of Dresden that has most of the iconic landmarks is accessible only by walking. So a pair of comfortable walking shoes is all you need.

What's included
  • Other: My recommendations of what to do in Dresden while there
  • Private Guide
What's extra
  • Other: Personal expenses. Extra payments will be required in case you decide, for example, to stop for a coffee, or a delicious local hot chocolate (approximately 5€) or add on a coffee and cake stop (approximately 10€). I will probably encourage you to visit one of the splendid museums as a follow up to this tour and in case I succeed the ticket price is about 14€ per person depending on the museum. In case you decide to combine this tour with an excursion to Pillnitz (great idea) we will need to work out how we can get there and we will combine the itinerary. See that tour for more details on Pillnitz. I highly recommend this combined option since you see the old town, the new town AND the Elbe Valley not to mention the summer palace of the Saxon rulers. A truly comprehensive option.
