Walk Through Dresden

It takes about 2 hours by train from Dresden to Berlin and is known as Firenze on the Elbe River, it had experienced World War II. The best attractions are the ancient buildings along the Elbe River. A one-day trip from Berlin is recommended.The attractions are concentrated in the city, you can travel on foot or by tram.

Brühlsche Terrasse is an excellent viewing spot in Dresden, it is not far from the Frauenkirche and adjacent to the banks of Elbe River. You can enjoy the views of the banks of the Elbe River and a view of the entire city of Dresden when you walk up the steps to the second floor, and Frauenkirche and Katholische Hofkirche are separated on both sides.

If it’s sunny, you can have a cup of coffee here and take a break to relax. Dresden has its own flavor during the day or at night, I recommend to enjoy the sunset in the evening, it is exquisite and pretty good.

Frauenkirche is the landmark of Dresden, it was founded in 1726 and is also the most beautiful church on the banks of Elbe River. But the Baroque church that we see today actually took 11 years to rebuild in 2005 because it was flattened by artillery fire during World War II, all that remains is a damaged 13 meter high wall.

The dome of the church can be viewed for fee. In addition, the organ in the church is famous and the weight of it is 20tons, which was created by organist Kane in Strasbourg. The composer Bach had played in the Frauenkirche for many times in history.

Out of the train station, along Prager Stra? e, Dresden’s main shopping street, you can reach Zwinger. This is the shooting location of The Grand Budapest Hotel, the Palace is small but distinctive, Raffaello’s famous work, Sistine Madonna, is treasured here.

The Palace, garden and fountain make up this gorgeous Baroque complex.It used to be a palace for the royals to host a dinner and was rebuilt after World War II. Admission to the Palace is free, but visiting the Studio Museum needs tickets, you can take a look if you are interested.

The Semperopper next to Zwinger, surrounds Theaterplatz, the densest landmark in Dresden with Zwinger, Royal Palace and Katholische Hofkirche. The Semperoper is named after the designer Gottfried Semper. The interior is incomparably gorgeous. After the reconstruction in the early 19th century, many famous operas, including Tannhäuser, were premiered here.

During the summer, many groups, such as the famous Dresden Kreuzchor and the Dresdener Philharmonie, performs in the Semperoper Erleben. If you are a veteran opera lover, you can also come here for a concert.

Residenzschloss, between Frauenkirche and Zwinger, is the residence of the Sachsen imperial family from 1485, the Palace is now open to tourists after its reconstruction after World War II. The Palace has a red roof and bronze dome, and a new enclosed glass-roofed patio is built, there are ticket offices, souvenir shops and cafes.

The vast Palace, which is now open to the public in the form of the “Museum of the Arts”, it consists of the Grünes Gewölbe, Neues Grünes Gewölbe, Kupferstich-Kabinett, Rüstkammer and Münzkabinett.

Among them, Grünes Gew?lbe and Neues Grünes Gew?lbe are the treasures of the Palace. Chinese interpreters is provided in Gew?lbes. Grünes Gew? lbe has Amber Pavilion, Ivory Room, Silver Room, Treasure Room, Heraldry Room and other exhibition rooms with different themes. Treasure Room can’t be missed. All four sides of the exhibition hall are equipped with gold-plated silver mirrors. It is very shocking. Neues Grünes Gew?Lbe is next to the exit of Grünes Gew?lbe. A 41-carat green diamond is must-see at Neues Grünes Gew? Lbe.

A 102-meter-long porcelain mural is near the Dresden Frauenkirche, it is called Der Fürstenzugand is a popular local attraction. If you think there is too much content at the museum and don’t have patience, you can spend half an hour to appreciate this 100-meter porcelain painting.

The Der Fürstenzug is similar to the Along the River During the Qingming Festival, it is a long narrative scroll and it depicts scenes of the wars waged by the successive Kings of the Sachsen dynasty. They were followed by soldiers, court musicians and civilians. The scene is grand and vivid.

The Hof der Elemente is actually a wall; it is covered with drain pipes like symphony orchestra horns and extending over royal blue walls. In order to highlight the sound of the house pipes, there is always water under the roof, the sound of running water against the pipe can be heard, which is full of post-modern art.

The Hof der Elementeis a local art district, the houses inside are colorful and full of design art and freshness.
