Historic Dresden & Iconic Dresden Xmas Market

WHY GO?

Dresden is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. Nestled on the historic Elbe, the city centre is littered with castles, palaces, cobbled roads and ancient markets. The tour will take you around the wonderful historic monuments, show where Martin Luther changed history, and more. Not only that, but the Christmas market is one of the best in Europe, highlighting why now is the best time to visit Dresden

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?

• Discover Dresden: Often called as "Florence on the Elbe", Dresden’s beauty is undisputed – and unmistakable! It reveals itself to visitors at first glance and is characterised by an irresistible combination of romantic landscape, baroque architecture and one of the most beautiful historic city centres in Germany.
• Dresden Christmas Market: Dresden’s Striezelmarkt is considered to be the oldest Christmas market in Germany (since 1434, so over 550 years old). But it’s not just its record age that attracts visitors; it also boasts other outstanding features, such as the world’s tallest, 14.61-metre-high Ore Mountain step pyramid, what is likely to be the world’s largest walk-in candle arch, and a daily programme of cultural Christmas events for young and old.
