The Jewel Box
Known as the 'Jewel Box', Dresden is a stunning German city with rich history, an important classical music scene, and an unforgettable Baroque and Rococo-inspired city centre.
Located on the banks of the Elbe River, the whole city was destroyed during World War II, but has now been rebuilt into one of the most interesting places in Europe. Like a phoenix from the ashes, the Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche) is an imposing building that is one of the most beloved symbols of the city.
Magnificent Zwinger Palace is the main Dresden attraction, featuring impressive pavilions and a majestic garden in the middle. Continue your journey along the cultural centre of Germany and visit the picturesque Baroque square of Neumarkt. Also not to be missed is Brühl Terrace, a promenade nicknamed the 'Balcony of Europe', because of its excellent view of the River Elbe.
Enjoy a relaxing stroll around the city and you will find a selection of cosy Dresden restaurants and beer gardens serving local dishes and fine wines from the surrounding vineyards.
Dresden Airport is the international airport located in the district of Klotzsche, featuring a railway station in the terminal building. Take the train and head to your Booking.com hotel, guest house or apartment.

What a stunningly beautiful city. So royal. So much history. Great efforts going on to renovate every single historic building & bridge. This is getting better by the day and I sure will come back to this hidden gem by the river Elbe.

Living in Prague I've been to Dresden many times.
Living in Prague I've been to Dresden many times. Sometimes for shopping, sometimes for culture, sometimes Christmas markets. It's good for all. People are down-to-earth, direct and friendly. Service with a smile is always pleasant to get and appreciated. I admire the spirit of Dresden...the hope and energy with which it's been rebuilt since the horrors of WWII and the decades of stagnation under communism is inspiring and palpable there. It's a very walkable city with lots of pedestrianised areas and hotel also provided free tram passes. It's easy to navigate. The historic section around the rebuilt Frauenkirche has plenty of places to eat both traditional German food and also a nice tapas bar where we ate.

Beautiful!
Beautiful! Amazing museums. Great restaurants. But... 3 days just wasn’t enough to see and experience everything in Altstadt let alone cross the bridge to Nuestadt and explore further afield. I would like to go back for a minimum of a week preferably 2!
Both night I enjoyed great food on the Neumark Platz. As a single and older female traveler I was made very welcome.
Old town Dresden, where I spent my time is easy to walk around. It is not a very large area. There are also great shopping areas if you are so inclined.
The Stadtrubdfarht( Hop in Hop off) buses were regular and the staff amazing so when I was the only English speaker I was spoilt with my own private tour!

Stay in the Kempinski, a perfect location for the old town.
Stay in the Kempinski, a perfect location for the old town. The Old Masters gallery in the Zwinger has a very impressive collection. The new and old green vaults contain wonderful treasures. We had views of both buildings from our bedroom. We had a fab meal in Caroussel. Room looked a bit stuffy but service was informal and friendly. Food was best I’ve had this year, imaginative, modern, beautifully presented with no superfluous blobs, every flavour added something to each dish. Go to Aussere Neustadt for a livelier night,

We were so impressed with the Phoenix- like post war renewal...
We were so impressed with the Phoenix- like post war renewal of the city! ..... and had not really been aware of it prior to arrival.
Our tour of the Semper Opera House (in English) was really good and made us more aware.
The city is a delight to visit , easy to walk around, full of interest and hidden treasures.

I think it is one of the underestimated travel destinations.
I think it is one of the underestimated travel destinations. The art galery is actually impressive. A lot to see and do for 2-3 days, nice castles around Dresden to see bu car or by bus, really nice view. It is indeed “Florence of North”.
And there are not so many tourists, allowing you to enjoy history without queuing.
“Nice hotel. Comfortable rooms and bed. Basic but did the job for a couple of nights stay in dresden. Good location. Nice and handy for the train station but a bit of a hike (or tram) if youre intending going to the old town. ”
“The hotel is really ok and budget for young people, really close to city centre via Elbe embankment for some 10mins walk, because Dresden in a really nice little town. The rooms are clean, the cleaning regular, hot water and heating functioning, pillows really big and comfortable, TV with 100 programmes. In a nutshell, I really liked it.”
“Everything like reviews says: very clean, very comfortable, even hairdryer in the bathroom. It was our first stop in five day Germany trip and it was the best stay! German hotels and guesthouses are famous for the breakfast, but this one was unbeatable.”
“The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived late as our flight was cancelled but they were still very accommodating. We were attending a family wedding so didn't know the area and in out last day they suggested seeing the Old town of Dresden, which we did and we were glad we visited that.
I would definitely recommend the hotel.”
