Historic Splendour and Cultural Treasures in Dresden
Step into the magnificent world of Dresden's palaces and castles, where architectural beauty meets fascinating history. These grand buildings not only impress with their design but also offer a glimpse into the region's storied past.
The Royal Palace, a stunning Renaissance structure in the heart of the city, is one of Dresden’s most significant cultural landmarks. Once the seat of the Saxon electors and kings, it now houses the world-renowned Green Vault, one of the most valuable treasure chambers in existence.
No visit to Dresden is complete without exploring the three Elbe Palaces: Albrechtsberg Palace, Lingner Palace, and Eckberg Palace. Built between 1850 and 1861, these aristocratic estates feature expansive parks and striking architecture, and are now open to the public.
Pillnitz Palace, with its captivating blend of Baroque and Far Eastern influences, sits amid the scenic vineyards of the Elbe Valley. Its garden’s Palm House is home to exotic plants from nearly every continent, while the park’s prized 250-year-old camellia is a true botanical marvel.
Moritzburg Castle, perhaps the most beautiful moated castle in Saxony, houses an impressive collection of hunting trophies, exquisite gold-leather tapestries, and the unique Feather Room, adorned with over a million colourful bird feathers.

Energising Dresden's Art Scene
Where electricity once powered the city, it now energises its cultural landscape. Since 2016, the former Kraftwerk Mitte power station has been transformed into a vibrant arts and culture hub, housed in a protected industrial building. It is home to the State Operetta, film screenings, concerts, and an energy museum. The newly designed 'Stromwerk' area serves as a versatile cultural venue, perfect for hosting a wide variety of events and creative formats.
In Dresden, even going out is a cultural experience. The Neustadt district pulses with life, offering a dynamic mix of small bistros, bars, and trendy shops. With its blend of Wilhelminian-style architecture, street art, and galleries, Neustadt provides a lively, modern contrast to Dresden’s Baroque Old Town.
HELLERAU, originally built in 1911 as a festival theatre, is now one of Europe’s leading centres for contemporary art. This unique venue is a hub for dance, theatre, performance, music, and visual arts, offering an inspiring environment for both artists and audiences.
