    Dresden is the capital city of the Free State of Saxony. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe.The American and British bombing in World War II destroyed the entire city centre. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Semper Oper and the Frauenkirche.The Dresden Castle was the seat of the royal household from 1485.The wings of the building have been renewed, built upon and restored many times. Due to this integration of styles, the castle is made up of elements of the Renaissance, Baroque and Classicist styles.

At that time Dresden was strictly Protestant.

The church is the cathedral "Sanctissimae Trinitatis" since 1980.

Amazing Private Tour of Meissen and Dresden

Published on Jun, 2019

I am so happy to have met Eva, who is truly such a wonderful person, very kind, caring, bubbly and hospitable. She made this private tour for me and my elderly father extra special and was extremely accommodating to my father's many needs. -Eva's company is the only company in Prague to offer a private, full-day excursion to both Dresden and Meissen, both of which are extremely beautiful, and surprisingly not far from Prague. In Dresden we visited the Zwinger palace, Semperoper, BrĂĽhl's Terrace, Hofkirche, Frauenkirche, Residenzschloss palace, and more. Great to have such a professional and caring guide, who also recommended an amazing place for lunch, what a treat! -In Meissen Eva suggested we visit the famed Meissen porcelain factory, as Meissen is the first European city to produce porcelain. Both interesting and beautiful, a great spot for souvenirs. Historic Meissen really blew us away, and we were amazed by its beauty. Knowing my father has trouble walking, Eva arranged for us to drive literally right into the castle/cathedral complex through the small historic streets. it felt like we were the only people to around, and basically explored the castle museum and cathedral ourselves. I can't stress how much Eva's kindness and generosity meant to me, she is such a warm person it felt like I knew her for ages. Her company goes beyond the normal/typical attractions, and takes you into the Czech countryside and beyond. get out and experience some exciting day trips with Eva's company, it is definitely worth it, and I cannot wait to see her again!
