The historic capital of the Free State of Saxony, Dresden has long been the royal residence for its Kings and Electors. Perched on the banks of the mighty River Elbe, this intriguing city, studded with baroque and rococo buildings, has inspired artists for centuries. Devastated by bombing during the Second World War, Dresden has been extensively rebuilt, and the modern city is testament to the region’s enduring spirit. The best places to stay in Dresden, too, are a wonderful collection of elegant classic hotels and chic contemporary spots. Perfect for a city break to remember!
A centre of Germany’s cultural, educational, political and economic life for centuries, Dresden is endlessly fascinating. Marvel at magnificent views from the dome of the Frauenkirche, admire the stunning Zwingler Palace and the Semperoper, or explore the Residenzschloss Dresden Castle, which now houses some superb museums. The Green Vault, Kupferstich-Kabinett and the Turkish Chamber are highlights. Also not to be missed is the Dresden Military Museum, an arresting fusion of old and new architecture.
For an immersive art experience, look to Dresden’s Neustadt, where you’ll find the narrow lanes of the Kunsthotpassage lined with fabulous murals, installations and multimedia performances. If hiking, cycling and climbing adventures appeal, then Saxon Switzerland National Park is exceptional. Unwind in style at one of the best places to stay in Dresden after a big day of discovery!
