Overview

During Advent, our award winning walking tour of Dresden's historic city centre will include a visit to one of Dresden’s famed Christmas markets!

Explore the cobbled streets of Dresden with a walking tour to learn about the city’s turbulent and fascinating history from the medieval through Renaissance, Baroque, WW2 and post WW2 eras. This is a city that blossomed, was then decimated by fire-bombing and finally lovingly rebuilt and restored to once again become 'The Florence on the Elbe'.

We will see many smaller Christmas markets and finally end at one of Germany’s oldest Christmas Markets and look for the Stollen, a special Christmas cake with a centuries-old tradition. You will also encounter Christmas inventions from Saxony, like the Nutcracker or the Moravian Star.
You can stay on after the tour and explore it on your own. Needless to say- we will point you in the direction of the best mulled wine- Glühwein, to raise a toast to beautiful Dresden.
