Dresden: Full Day Trip from Prague

Nicknamed the Florence on the Elbe, Dresden is famous for its Baroque wonders that have been rebuilt after nearly 75% of the historical center was destroyed by Allied bombing in World War II.

Stroll through the city and explore its stunning vistas - from the gorgeous scenery of České Středohoří (Central Bohemian Uplands) to important historical monuments in the Old Town. Visit the Old Masters Gallery at the Zwinger Palace and see masterpieces such as the Sistine Madonna by Raphael, works by Titian and Canaletto, and paintings by 17th-century Dutch and Flemish artists like Rembrandt and Rubens.

Be awestruck by the grandiose Semper Opera House, where premieres of works by Richard Wagner were held in the 1800s. See the dark and imposing Dresden Cathedral, also known as Hofkirche, as well as the beautiful Frauenkirche Church that dominates the city’s skyline. Along the way, your expert English or Russian-speaking guide will tell you fascinating historical anecdotes about all that you see so you will get transported back to another time.
