About this activity
Discover one of Europe's most magnificent baroque cities on a full-day excursion from Wroclaw to Dresden, Germany. This 12-hour tour showcases the artistic and architectural legacy of Saxony's former capital, from meticulously reconstructed Old Town landmarks to palaces that once rivaled European courts.
Take an exciting day tour from Wroclaw to explore Dresden- one of the most beautiful German cities.
For centuries Dresden was the capital of an independent state of Saxony, which under the Wettin dynasty was a flourishing centre of culture, art and architecture. The city was considered the pearl of European baroque with numerous churches, palaces and townsmen’s houses contributing to its unique atmosphere. The controversial ally bombing at the end of the War World II, despite thousands of deaths and great urban substance damage, did not affect Dresdner Old Town entirely - today a powerful symbol of German revival and reconstruction.
