Our regional capital Dresden, whose architecturally impressive riverside panorama has rightfully earned it the epithet “Elbflorenz”, i.e. “Florence-on-the-Elbe”, is uniquely rich in tourist attractions. Here are just a few of the sights you shouldn’t miss.
Dresden
State Capital
Radebeul
Wine Town
Koenig & Bauer, vineyards and the Karl May Museum. The town of Radebeul, situated before the gates of Dresden, has plenty to offer. It is not without reason that the locals sometimes refer to it lovingly as “Elbtoskana”, in other words “Tuscany-on-the-Elbe”. So why not take a little time to explore the immediate surroundings of Koenig & Bauer in Radebeul?
Leipzig
City of Composers & Poets
Bach, Bartholdy, Schumann, Wagner – Leipzig boasts long-standing music traditions and many great names from the history of classical music are associated with the city. In fact, Leipzig is still considered one of Europe's musical and cultural hot-spots today. But, even apart from music and culture, there are still many other interesting places waiting to be explored in and around Leipzig, not least the beautiful river landscapes and refreshing lakes.
Saxon Switzerland
Elbe Sandstone Mountains
Reminiscent of Switzerland, but here in Saxony. The name Saxon Switzerland, referring to the German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, was coined by two Swiss artists who were working at the Dresden Academy of Art in the 18th century. The landscapes, they said, reminded them of the mountains back home in Switzerland. We have gathered some further information here on the must-see highlights of the Saxon Switzerland.
Moritzburg
Rural Landscapes
Moritzburg is most famous for its castle, but there are also many other dream-like places waiting to be discovered in the surroundings. A few are mentioned in the further information here. You can reach Moritzburg by taking the Lößnitzgrund narrow-gauge railway, meaning that the journey itself is already an memorable experience.
Meissen
The Home of Porcelain
Meissen is known around the world for its over 300-year-old porcelain manufactory. It is here that the famous Meissen porcelain is produced – only genuine with the hand-painted symbol of crossed swords. But there are also many other sights and attractions waiting to be discovered. We have collected information on a few of them here for you.
Prague
Capital of the Czech Republic
The capital of the Czech Republic is also known as the “Golden City of a Hundred Spires”. This epithet is attributable firstly to the many sandstone buildings, which reflect the sunlight in endless golden hues, but at the same time also to the countless towers and spires which make up the city’s characteristic skyline.
Berlin
Capital City of Germany
Berlin, Germany’s lively capital city, combines history and modern development. Iconic landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Wall are witnesses to turbulent times and epochal events. But Berlin is much more than just its past – it is also known for its creativity, a flourishing art scene, centres of alternative culture and exciting nightlife.
