Destination Overview
On the banks of the mighty River Elbe, Dresden’s restored old town – with Swissotel in the centre – includes great shopping, entertainment, restaurants and bars, as well as a fascinating wealth of art treasures and baroque & rococo sights: the Residenzschloss, the Frauenkirche, the Semper Opera, the Zwinger Palace and the Hofkirche – all of which reflect the city’s glorious past as the seat of Saxon royalty. Today, Dresden is also known as one of Germany’s thriving political and economic centres, with cultural diversity and a prosperous business community. With 63% of its land dedicated to parks and green spaces, Dresden also offers relaxing recreational spots all over the city.
