How to get there
Evening in the heart of the Altstadt and the Äussere Neustadt
Steps: Dresden
Night walk in the heart of the old town (Altstadt): a night walk around the main tourist attractions of the Altstadt will be a wonderful introduction on Friday evening. You will be alone, or almost alone, with the monuments taken over by tourists during the day. From the Altmarkt, walk to the Frauenkirche, walk on the Neumarkt and then take Augustusstrasse for a tête-à-tête with the thirty-five princes of Wettin's house, painted on the porcelain tiles of the Fürstenzug. You will reach the beautiful Georgentor, once a gateway to the city, and the Theaterplatz where the Semperoper, Taschenbergpalais, Zwinger, Hofkirche and Terrasse Brühl stand for your eyes only. Take the latter for a walk overlooking the Elbe: the panorama is magical, whatever the season. A real Saxon dinner, with a Sauerbraten, red cabbage and a good beer, is now a must in one of the taverns of the Altstadt!
A lively evening in the Äussere Neustadt: on weekend evenings, this trendy district, frequented by artists and students, vibrates with all its colours and music. Stroll through Görlitzer Strasse, Louisenstrasse or Alaunstrasse to discover the city's many bars with their bohemian and musical atmosphere, whether rock, electro or jazz.
