Beautiful Dresden lies on both banks of the Elbe River.

Florence on the Elbe

Dresden is the capital of the German state of Saxony, located on both banks of the Elbe River, mainly in the Dresdner Elbtal Weitung valley, between the end of the Ost Erzgebirge mountain range on one side and the steep walls of the Lausitz granite and the Elbsandsteingebirge sandstone range on the other.

Known as Florence on the Elbe, Dresden is famous for its beautiful natural scenery. The Elbe River divides the city into two parts: the ancient Altstadt with its beautiful Baroque architecture and the bustling, youthful Neustadt. Altstadt is notable for its Semperoper theater, Zwinger district and many museums and churches. Neustadt attracts with its statue of King August der Starke, Japanisches Palais and Yenidze. Both areas offer unique cultural and historical experiences.

Dresden is one of the greenest cities in Europe. The city has many nature reserves, especially the 20km Dresden Valley, which is recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage.

The suburbs of Dresden are equally interesting with their famous vineyards and wine production. Visitors can use means of transport such as long-distance buses or trains to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, experience the reality by visiting vineyards, wine cellars, participating in the wine production process, and drinking free wine. Visitors can also buy a few bottles as gifts for family and relatives at quite cheap prices.

In addition, thanks to its location in a temperate cold climate zone and the influence of the continental climate, the temperature in Dresden is always warm. All of this has made Dresden one of the cities worth visiting in Germany.
