Activity itinerary

Bruehlsche Terrasse

2h 20m

Your private guide and driver will collect you directly from your accommodation in Prague. After a comfortable two-hour drive, you’ll arrive in Dresden, Germany, and begin exploring its historic center—beautifully rebuilt from the ruins left by the devastating air raids of World War II. Once a small settlement of “people from forests and swamps,” Dresden grew into the royal residence and cultural heart of Saxony. You’ll stroll through the restored Old Town and admire landmarks such as: - Brühl’s Terrace - The Church of Our Lady – the city’s stone crown - The Fürstenzug (Procession of Princes) – 800 years of Saxon history in porcelain - The Baroque Zwinger Palace - The Royal Palace - The Semper Opera House …and more.

The Dresden Zwinger

Admire the magnificent Zwinger Palace in Dresden (exteriors only), a Baroque masterpiece that once served as the setting for lavish royal festivities and today holds renowned art collections. Wander through its elegant courtyards, graceful pavilions, and intricately designed gardens. This iconic landmark offers a vivid glimpse into the grandeur of Germany’s royal heritage.

Georgentor

Walk through the historic Georgentor, Dresden’s first Renaissance structure and former royal gateway to the city. With its richly decorated façade and striking position near the Elbe River, it’s both a perfect photo opportunity and a portal into Saxony’s majestic history.

Katholische Hofkirche

Behold the impressive Dresdner Hofkirche, a soaring symbol of Catholic endurance in a largely Protestant land. This grand Baroque cathedral embodies Saxony’s royal heritage and remarkable architectural beauty.

Semper Opera House (Semperoper)

Enjoy the refined beauty of the Semperoper Dresden, among the world’s most exquisite opera houses, celebrated for its splendid architecture and illustrious musical heritage (exteriors only). It’s an unmissable cultural treasure in the heart of the city.

Royal Palace (Residenzschloss)

Discover the Residenzschloss Dresden, once the seat of Saxon rulers and today home to glittering treasures like the Green Vault and the Historic Armory (exteriors, with optional interior visit). Its striking mix of Renaissance and Baroque styles offers a captivating window into Saxony’s rich history.

Procession of Princes

Admire the Fürstenzug, the world’s largest porcelain mural, portraying a millennium of Saxon rulers in remarkable detail. This extraordinary artwork, which withstood the devastating bombing of Dresden in 1945, stretches proudly along a historic street.

Frauenkirche Dresden

1h 10m

Stand in awe before the Frauenkirche Dresden, a stunning Baroque masterpiece rebuilt from wartime ruins as a powerful symbol of peace and reconciliation. Its magnificent dome offers sweeping views and an inspiring tale of resilience (optional tower visit, admission not included). Afterward, savor a delicious German lunch in a traditional local restaurant, paired with beer from its own historic microbrewery (lunch not included).

Dresden Christmas Market

Step into a festive wonderland at the Dresden Christmas Market, one of Europe’s oldest and most charming holiday fairs. With twinkling lights, artisanal gifts, and the scent of mulled wine and roasted almonds, it’s Christmas magic at its best (available only during the holiday season, a few weeks in Dec–Jan).

Bastei Bridge

2h 30m

The national park spans both the Czech and German sides. After a 50-minute drive from Dresden and short walk from the parking lot, you’ll visit the famous Bastei Bridge—the first tourist viewing terrace in Europe—offering unforgettable views of the Elbe River’s sweeping bends, passing boats, and the hilltop Königstein Castle. Once you’ve enjoyed the stunning scenery, you’ll return to Prague in a comfortable two-hour drive.
