Once called the “Florence on the Elbe,” Dresden is one of Germany’s most beautiful and culturally rich cities — and with a private guide, you’ll get to experience its stunning rebirth, artistic treasures, and deep historical layers like never before.
Start in the Altstadt (Old Town), where your guide will take you to the Zwinger Palace, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture filled with art, fountains, and sculpture. Learn how the Saxon kings built a court that rivaled Versailles — and how the city became a center of Enlightenment culture and science.
Next, visit the Frauenkirche, the majestic domed church that was destroyed during WWII and painstakingly rebuilt stone by stone. Your guide will share stories from both its original glory and the remarkable 21st-century reconstruction, a symbol of peace and resilience.
You’ll also explore the Semperoper, Royal Palace, and the Fürstenzug, a 100-meter-long mural made of Meissen porcelain tiles, depicting centuries of Saxon rulers.
For a more personal touch, your guide can take you across the Elbe River to the Neustadt, a creative district full of street art, cafes, and local charm — the perfect place to wind down with a glass of Saxon wine or a slice of Eierschecke (regional cake).
This private tour is ideal for travelers who appreciate architecture, art, and complex history. With a passionate guide sharing insider knowledge, Dresden becomes more than just a pretty face — it becomes a story of destruction, beauty, and cultural rebirth.
