Everything was interesting and informative—the most impressive thing was that so much of it was made of plaster, and you’d think it was wood!!! Unbelievable!!! What incredible craftsmanship back then... we would have loved to take a peek behind the scenes... but other than that, it was absolutely amazing

Explore the Semperoper Opera House, known for its stellar acoustics and ornate rooms, on a 45-minute guided tour in English or German.

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.

Learn why watchmen sang at night, the fate of "Frederick the Bitten," and the location of the infamous "Green Vault" diamond heist.

Fun fact: The Zwinger Palace's fountain, featuring Neptune and Amphitrite, is said to grant eternal love to couples who kiss before it.

It was interesting to note that much of the interior decoration consisted of stucco painting rather than the original materials. However, I had expected a tour of the opera house to include a visit to the stage machinery and a look behind the scenes. That wasn’t the case, which was disappointing.

The tour was great! Unfortunately, it was too short, and we didn't get to see as much as we'd hoped. But our guide wasn't just funny and charming—he also had plenty of patience to answer all my questions. An extra 3 euros to take pictures? Yes! And I'd be happy to pay it. It's worth it.

A very knowledgeable and friendly young man who explained everything to us perfectly and was able to answer all our questions in detail. The tour began right on time as agreed. Tip: Better signage outside would be helpful.

A magnificent, breathtaking place! We got to watch the stage being set up. The technical setup is massive, and the stagehands work in perfect harmony. The lady who gave us the tour impressed us with her expert knowledge!

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.
