BEAUTY
The splendour of the Zwinger, Green Vault, Semper Opera House and Frauenkirche stands alongside modern architectural masterpieces such as the New Synagogue, the Military History Museum and ambitious construction projects of the present.
The historic Altstadt (left bank) and the lively Neustadt (right bank) perfectly complement each other, as do the busy life of the city and the slower pace of its Elbland surroundings – both beautiful in their own way.
Discover Dresden Elbland with its art and culture, hospitality and lust for life.

One of the most beautiful cycle paths in Germany leads through Dresden Elbland: the Elbe Cycle Path. On a two-day tour without any significant ascents between Pirna and Riesa you will discover the most beautiful spots.
It gets a little more demanding in the hilly area southwest of Dresden. Deep valleys with rushing streams and hills with beautiful views alternate between Tharandt and Wilsdruff.
It gets more mountainous during the Saxon winegrower tour along the vineyards.
“Dresden Altstadt is one big museum, with lots of interesting shops, great restaurants and nice people. It is a panorama that you can instantly take in and savour, just like a delicious cake.”
In celebration of Dresden Old Town
“What I like about Dresden is the ease with which you can get around. I live in the Neustadt district, and all I have to do is cycle across the bridge straight into the heart of the Altstadt. I find this juxtaposition of historic, culturally significant buildings and new architecture intellectually stimulating.”
