The tour is well organized, well timed and the guide was knowledgable and her english was easy to understand. Opera house is really worth visiting even without a guide but with this lady it was memorable. We payed few euros aditionally for foto licence and it was good decision.

A guided tour of the Semperoper is highly recommended. The building is gorgeous, and even during its third reconstruction, great love and care went into the details. With all the background information provided, you look at everything much more closely and truly respect the work that went into it.

See the Semperoper's rooftop panthers, the statue of Dionysus, and its 1,300+ seat auditorium, all rebuilt after the Second World War.

Explore Dresden's Old Town after hours on a 1.5-hour guided by a German-speaking costumed Night Watchman and enjoy a complimentary drink.

The guided tour truly came alive thanks to the extremely good lady who didn't bore us for a single minute. She was both knowledgeable and shared many little tips and anecdotes, but above all, she was highly motivated, with a lot of passion for art and the muse, and a great commitment to the Semper Opera, which seemed almost like a second living room to her. We would gladly do this again if the opportunity arises, and a big thank you!

The tour of the Semperoper was very informative and revealed many new and interesting details to us. Our group didn't like that 4 tours were taking place at the same time and that the guides' explanations overlapped, especially in the auditorium. A bit of a shame for older visitors with hearing aids.

The tour was very interesting, filled with architectural details that were conveyed in an incredibly lively way. It was like a good lecture, which, however, always depends on the lecturer. The lady who guided us, Sabrina, turned many years of a building's history into 50 minutes that flew by.

Save money and experience the best of Dresden with this combo ticket, offering a guided tour of Semperoper and an after-hours walk around the city with the Night Watchman.

Explore Semperoper with a guide

On a 45-minute guided tour, choose between English or German commentary as you dive into the Semperoper Opera House's history. Learn how it rose from the ashes twice, meticulously rebuilt after fires and wartime destruction. Your guide will point out architectural gems like the ceiling frescoes and the horseshoe-shaped auditorium, designed to ensure optimal acoustics. Look up and discover the four panthers guarding the Semperoper's rooftop. These aren't mere decorations – they're symbolic guardians honoring Dionysus, the Greek god of theater, wine, and festivity.

See Dresden after dark

As dusk settles, go on a captivating 1.5-hour night watchman tour. Your costumed guide, complete with a traditional lantern and halberd, will lead you on a journey through Dresden's historic center. Sip on a complimentary Schlummertrunk, a warm, spiced nightcap, to fuel your exploration. See the Frauenkirche, a Lutheran church rebuilt after WWII destruction, and the Zwinger Palace, a baroque gem dating back to the 18th century.
