City tour Dresden

Discover the many beautiful sides of the state capital of Saxony

Dresden, the 800-year-old capital of Saxony, is one amongst of Europe’s leading cultural capitals. Its treasures include an abundance of architectural monuments, top-class museums and world-renowned cultural institutions, and promise those who discover them a real treat and wealth of surprises.

A city tour to Dresden offers you the chance to explore its historic centre, featuring the Zwinger Palace, Theatre Square, Royal Palace and the Church of Our Lady. Take the opportunity to enjoy an outstanding concert or a boat trip with the world’s oldest fleet of paddle steamers – and you too will fall in love with the “Florence on the Elbe” on this city tour to Dresden.

For all of you who already know Dresden and wish for one or another secret tip – we have a lot of ideas in mind to extend the classical Dresden programme. What do you think about a visit to the Dresden city museum or to the Panometer Dresden? Dresden's surroundings are worth a visit too: Go on a ride with the narrow-gauge steam train "Lößnitzdackel" to Moritzburg. Furthermore, you should not miss a day trip to the "unexplored" parts of Saxon Switzerland...

This group tour is customised by us for you. It can be modified, shortened or extended according to your wishes. We look forward to receiving your enquiry and will be happy to provide you with a customised offer for your group tour.
