Day 4
Dresden, the capital of Saxony, is often referred to as the ‘Florence of the Elbe’ alluding to both its picturesque riverine location on the banks of the River Elbe and its role as a centre for arts and beautiful architecture. Almost entirely destroyed following the fall of the Reich in 1945, Dresden has undergone a remarkable renaissance - its main monuments and former GDR buildings have been tastefully restored and its historic centre pedestrianised. The most famous symbol of reconstruction is the Dresden Frauenkirche Church with its magnificent baroque dome dominating the city centre. The city features panoramic terraces, ceremonial staircases, huge squares adorned with statues of solemn-faced saints and monarchs and a spectacular cityscape characterised by countless spires, towers and domes.

You’ll explore several seasonal highlights, including the picturesque market at the Frauenkirche and the world-famous Striezelmarkt. Dating back to the 15th century, it is one of the oldest Christmas markets in the world and takes its name from the “Striezel,” a classic holiday cake now better known as Stollen—an essential seasonal treat you won’t want to miss.
