Christmas tour Dresden

Historical traces and contemplative markets.

Every year at the end of November, the Advent season begins, the most contemplative time of the year, characterized by candlelight, the smell of cookies and mysterious Christmas stories. Stollen, gingerbread, speculoos, cinnamon stars and mulled wine are a must - and you can find a wide selection of the best quality at the Christmas market. Experience romantic days in the Florence on the Elbe, Christmas traditions of craftsmanship and culinary delights as part of this Christmas tour to Dresden.

Dresden, the over 800-year-old capital of Saxony, is one of the most historic cities in Europe. The treasures of the city often referred to as the "Florence on the Elbe" include a multitude of architectural monuments, first-class museums and world-famous cultural institutions. Experience the real treat and a wealth of surprises during your winter trip!

A Christmas tour to Dresden, for example, allows your guests to discover the historic center. Particular highlights include the Zwinger Palace, Theaterplatz, the Royal Palace and, of course, the Frauenkirche. But also take the opportunity to enrich your trip with an incomparable concert or a Christmas boat trip on the oldest paddle steamer fleet in the world. Your group is sure to fall in love with the "Florence on the Elbe".

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.
