Dresden

Dresden, set along the Elbe in Saxony, is a city whose character is shaped by the broad river valley and its historic role as the residence of Saxon rulers. The Baroque Zwinger, commissioned under Augustus the Strong, houses major state art collections, while the Semperoper remains a leading venue for opera and classical music. On Neumarkt, the Frauenkirche was rebuilt after its wartime destruction and reconsecrated in 2005, with dark original stones visibly integrated into its pale masonry. Elbe meadows and riverbank paths soften the urban core, linking the old city with districts on both banks.
