Self Guided Walk Through Dresden’s Historic Old Town

Marvel at iconic architecture in the city once called the Florence of Germany on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Dresden. Dresden’s beauty has been revived, and visitors find themselves, once again, enthralled by the impressive architecture that spans several centuries. On this tour, I’ll show you the most stunning buildings and monuments and tell you about the Old Town’s dramatic history. You’ll walk through Zwinger Park and pass by the Royal Palace where August the Strong lived. On the way, I’ll tell you about his mistress, the unlucky Countess of Cosel, and how she lived happily in exile. As you make your way towards Neumarkt Square, you’ll see one of the best-preserved courts where jousting tournaments were held, the Old Town’s former Jewish centre, and the Frauenkirche, a very imposing baroque church that was destroyed during World War II but re-emerged out of the rubble in 2005.

Start your tour in this picturesque square, offering a breathtaking view of Dresden’s skyline and setting the stage with its historical ambiance.

Admire the grand statue of King Johann, prominently situated in Theaterplatz, commemorating one of Saxony’s notable rulers.

Pass by the world-renowned Semper Opera House, an architectural masterpiece that hosts some of the finest operatic performances globally.

Walk through the Zwinger, a stunning baroque palace that houses several museums and features beautifully landscaped gardens.

Marvel at the ornate Kronentor (Crown Gate), the iconic entrance to the Zwinger complex, showcasing impressive baroque artistry.

Pass by the Stallhof, a well-preserved courtyard where jousting tournaments were held, reflecting the medieval splendor of the city.

Admire the Fürstenzug, a large mural depicting the procession of Saxony’s rulers, made from thousands of Meissen porcelain tiles.

Be awed by the Frauenkirche, a baroque Lutheran church that stands as a symbol of Dresden’s resilience, having been rebuilt from the ruins of WWII.
