Germany Saxony Dresden

Despite heavy bombing during WWII, still evident today, Dresden is an exquisite Baroque-laden city with wonderful attractions.

The market square is central to the historic center, charmingly rebuilt following its destruction in WWII.

This phenomenal Baroque palace is home to several museums, as well as sprawling elegant grounds to explore.

Rebuilt according to its original design after an 1869 fire, this unique building is regarded as one of the most beautiful in Europe.

Faithfully restored after bombing in WWII, this Baroque gem features a rococo pulpit, as well as the remains of numerous royals.

Formerly an armory and a museum, this new 2011 museum traces German military history from the 14C to today.

This lovely circular building houses one of Yadegar Asisi's Dresden Panoramas, depicting the city after its destruction during WWII.

This Baroque church was rebuilt according to original plans following Germany's reunification, after laying in rubble for 50 years.

Take a ride on this railway, established in 1901, to enjoy views of the city from the height of over 80m.
