The Lord certainly blessed Dresden with an abundance of natural and architectural beauty. The city's baroque architectural gems, funded by silver from the Erzgebirge, are a testament to this divine favour. Not only that, but the art collections of the Wettins also add to the city's cultural richness. To the north, vineyards flourish, while to the south, a scenic sandstone landscape stretches along the Elbe.

Your journey begins in Germany’s northernmost wine-growing region near Meissen, following the course of the Elbe towards the Saxon residence. A stop in the trendy new town provides an opportunity for refreshment before embarking on a leisurely stroll through the baroque old town of Dresden. Here, you'll be captivated by the masterful architecture that ranks Dresden among Germany's most beautiful cities.

Feeling inspired by the splendour, your journey continues to Pillnitz Palace via the White Deer. If time permits and you're eager for more, you can consider extending your day in Saxon Switzerland. Throughout your adventure, there will be ample opportunities to indulge in local tastings – savoury snacks, refreshing drinks, and regional specialities.
