Experience culture and nature in and around Dresden

In Dresden and the surrounding region, holidaymakers can experience world-famous cultural treasures as well as the mighty forests and rock faces of Saxon Switzerland. Saxony’s capital city Dresden can look back on centuries of history, so unsurprisingly there is plenty of culture to enjoy. The best known sights include the Frauenkirche church and the Semperoper opera house. Both were reconstructed after being all but destroyed during World War II, and are now among the most potent symbols of the city. Another worthwhile destination is the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, which houses a number of significant paintings from various eras. If you want to head into the great outdoors from Dresden and the IntercityHotel Dresden, then Saxon Switzerland is just a short hop away. Here you can marvel at impressive rock formations and take a walk through extensive forests.
