"The Florence of Elbe"
Dresden, the capital of the German federal state of Saxony, is situated in a valley on the river Elbe. Protected for centuries by mighty fortifications, the town developed splendor and activity.

In spite of vast destruction during the WW2, the Old City part of Dresden has preserved or regained fascinating ensembles. The most famous symbol of reconstruction in the city centre is the Dresden Frauenkirche Church.
The most famous site is the Zwinger - Baroque buildings enclosing a picturesque garden courtyard represent the star attraction in that city's rich cultural heritage. It houses various collections of fine art and scientific treasures. You can visit the precious "old masters' picture gallery" with paintings of Rubens, Canaletto, Raphael and many others. Also there are collections of weapons, clocks and scientific instruments. The local collection of Meissen porcelain is the biggest porcelain collection of the world.
The Fürstenzug (procession of princes) fresco showing the Wettin dynasty can be found in the Zwinger.
