Activity itinerary

Semper Opera House (Semperoper) (Pass by)

The Semper Opera is the opera house of the Saxon State Opera. The architect Gottfried Semper first built a theatre on this site, but it fell to ashes in 1869. Semper then designed an opera house in its place. The Semper Opera House has a long history of world premieres, including major works by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.

The Dresden Zwinger (Pass by)

The Zwinger is a complex of Baroque buildings with a garden in the Old Town of Saxon Dresden. It is one of the most significant construction works from the Baroque period in Germany. Next to the Frauenkirche, the Zwinger is the city's most famous landmark. Originally, it was supposed to be the courtyard of a magnificent castle, but it was never built.

Royal Palace (Residenzschloss) (Pass by)

Dresden Castle or Royal Palace is one of the oldest buildings in Dresden, Germany. For almost 400 years, it was the residence of the electors and kings of Saxony from the Albertine House of Wettin as well as the Kings of Poland. It is known for the different architectural styles employed, from Baroque to Neo-renaissance.

Kathedrale Sanctissimae Trinitatis (Pass by)

Hofkirche is a baroque Catholic church. It is the largest temple building in the state of Saxony. It has been the cathedral of the Dresden-Meißen diocese since 1980.

Augustus Bridge (Pass by)

The Augustus Bridge is a monument that co-created the history of this significant Saxon city. The stone bridge was built around 1287, but it probably existed as a wooden one before that. In the Middle Ages, it was the longest stone bridge in Germany and was 521 metres at the time (according to other sources, it was even 40 m more).

Bruehlsche Terrasse (Pass by)

The terrace, nicknamed the "Balcony of Europe", stretches high above the banks of the Elbe. Originally, it was part of the Dresden fortifications, which was bought in 1739 by Count Heinrich von Brühl.

Albertinum (Pass by)

The Albertinum is a modern art museum. The sandstone-clad Renaissance Revival building is located on Brühl's Terrace in the historic centre of Dresden. It is named after King Albert of Saxony.

Frauenkirche Dresden

Admission ticket not included

Stallhof (Pass by)

The »Electoral Reissiger Stable« stands somewhat in the shadow of the famous Dresden building that surrounds it. It is one of the few surviving witnesses that reflects the brilliance of the Dresden Renaissance era.
