Dresden

If you want to visit a city full of history and culture, consider a private day trip to Dresden. Dresden is the capital of Saxony, a German region bordering Poland and the Czech Republic. Once known as the „Florence of the North“ for its beautiful architecture and art collections, most of the city was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II – but has since been rebuilt and restored to its former glory, with many landmarks reconstructed to their original designs.
