Don’t miss the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments, one of the oldest and most fascinating scientific collections in the world. From here, make your way to the Royal Palace, which comprises a castle, church and stable courtyard, as well as the Johanneum building, which is now a museum. While you’re there be sure to check out the Fürstenzug, an astounding 102m-long porcelain mural of the rulers of Saxony.
Don’t miss
Architecturally, Dresden is fascinating. The city was heavily bombed during WWII, and today the skyline is replete with buildings of various architectural periods, from French baroque and renaissance to modern. Visit the Bundeswehr Military History Museum – where a glass and steel wedge rises out of the 1877 arsenal – to see an amalgamation of these styles.
While you’re there
Those wanting to experience Dresden’s nightlife should head to Neustadt, best known for its street art, vibrant bars and excellent restaurants. And when you’re ready to explore, stroll through chic boutiques, discover vibrant street art, or relax with a drink at one of the many local bars.
