First of all:\u00a0 If you only have a few hours for Dresden, you will only get a quick impression of the town, you will only visit a couple of the most famous sights, you will miss the nightlife and you will not be able to meet some people from Dresden or to get any deeper insights about what actually makes the town.\u00a0 If you travel this way you will mess up the buldings and cities you have seen after a while and you will take less home as you would with some more time to spend at the places.<\/p>\n
But, what should you visit if you only have 3 hours in Dresden<\/a>?\u00a0 Forget about the Neustadt<\/a> or other real<\/em> neighborhoods (where people actually life), you will only have time for the historical part of the town.\u00a0 Start at the Zwinger<\/a> with the Crown Gate, its one of the landmarks of Dresden.\u00a0 On its northern part towards the river Elbe is the famous picture galerie the „Old Masters“<\/a>.\u00a0 You will probably have to skip it, because a short visit there would cost you the three hours you have.\u00a0\u00a0 Next to it you will see the square Theaterplatz with the Semper Opera<\/a> to your left.\u00a0 You could visit the building on a guided tour, but again – no time unfortunately. Thats it.\u00a0 No time for the baroque quarter around K\u00f6nigstrasse, no Golden Horseman<\/a>, no Augustus bridge, no Elbe castles<\/a>, no „Blue wonder“ bridge<\/a>, no museums from inside, no National Park „Swiss Saxony“<\/a>, no other sights in the surroundings.\u00a0 Hey but still, you can tell your friends you „have been“ in Dresden!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First of all:\u00a0 If you only have a few hours for Dresden, you will only get a quick impression of the town, you will only visit a couple of the most famous sights, you will miss the nightlife and you will not be able to meet some people from Dresden or to get any deeper […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[133,51,71],"tags":[722,355,721],"class_list":["post-1108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aktivitaeten","category-kunst-und-museen-in-dresden","category-neuigkeiten","tag-short-trip","tag-sights","tag-sights-in-dresden"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1108"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1113,"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108\/revisions\/1113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lollishome.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nJust opposite you will see the castle<\/a> of Dresden.\u00a0 It houses many very amazing exibitions, like the Green Vault<\/a> or the just reopened Turkish Chamber<\/a>.\u00a0 Next to it is the Taschenberg Palais, today used as a luxury hotel.\u00a0 You don’t have to move a lot, still on the theatre square you will find the catholic church Hofkirche<\/a> which is worth a quick look inside.\u00a0 In front of the chuch is the square Schlossplatz and next to it you will find the F\u00fcrstenzug<\/a> and the Br\u00fchlische Terasse<\/a>, also know as the „balcony of Europe“.\u00a0 Watch the steamboats<\/a> on the river Elbe departing and have a quick view on the big state buildings on the other side of the river.\u00a0 Don’t sit down and relax in the sun and enjoy the view and the atmosphere, remember, you have no time!
\nLater on the Br\u00fchlische Terasse you will pass by Albertinum<\/a> where soon will be another picture galarie, the\u00a0 „New Masters“<\/a>.\u00a0 You should definetely visit another landmark of Dresden, the well known Church Of Our Lady<\/a> on the Neumarkt<\/a> and also wander around this newly reshaped square.\u00a0 Have a look on the Johanneum, which houses today the transport-museum<\/a> and don’t miss the view into the Stallhof<\/a>.\u00a0 A few meters away you will find the Old Market Square, which is actually the old centre of Dresden.\u00a0 Pass the Kulturpalast and stop by the Kreuzkirche<\/a>, another church but completely different compared to the kitschy Frauenkirche.<\/p>\n
