Top things to do in Dresden

Close to Germany’s eastern border with Poland and the Czech Republic lies the inspiring city of Dresden. It may not stand up to world fame like the more illustrious Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg, but we have created this short guide on things to do in Dresden so that you can enjoy the city to the fullest. Dresden has an old town (Altstadt) and a new town (Neustadt) although due to the reconstruction of the former, the actual dates of the buildings are not necessarily chronological. One of our hotels in Dresden is the NH Collection Dresden Altmarkt, that is perfectly situated in the heart of the historic old town and provides us with an ideal starting point for our mini-adventure. So go, explore, and enjoy the wonders of this fascinating place.
