Reconstruction of the baroque city

Dresden is known for being one of the world’s most beautiful, baroque cities. Many buildings in Dresden were destroyed during WW2, so the city began rebuilding its cultural heritage after the war. For this reason, Dresden’s well-known baroque cathedral and the Zwinger complex, the city’s showpiece, were restored to all their former glory. Why not take an early stroll around this baroque complex and experience its beauty. You can round off the day with a cruise along the Elbe in a classic steamer.
