Dresden for Christmas loversThat time of the year again! Around November, the Christmas spirit takes over the city. The Christmas markets take place in Altmarkt, one of the busiest squares during the festive season. The Striezelmarkt started in the 15th century and “Striezel” refers to a cake made at Christmas called “Stollen”. Every weekend of Advent, the market dedicates them to the traditions of the area. Many other markets take place in Dresden like the one near the Frauenkirche, the one in Neumarkt or The Winter Lights Market near the main railway station, in one of the most popular shopping streets, featuring a 50 feet (15m) Christmas tree. Try some regional food, buy some Christmas decorations, traditional handcrafts and take a sip of glühwein (mulled wine) to fight the cold weather with a bite of Christstollen, the famous fruity bread with nuts and spices!
Although Dresden is called Florence on the Elbe it is also known as Jewel Box, a nickname coming from its architectural gems.
Top 5 travel tips in Dresden
The Church of our Lady is a unique Baroque church in the Neumarkt area of Dresden, the heart of the city. This building was badly damaged during the WWII bombings and restored in the 1980s. Nowadays you can admire its structure, the majestic dome, the contrast of light and dark stones and the magnificent interior. It will demand your attention the instant you see it!
2. Delight your taste budsSaxon cuisine is well known for hearty meat-based dishes but when it comes to treats, the sweet bites will also make you dream of them all day long. Try some sauerbraten, delicious beef with red cabbage or Holunderbeerensuppe, a spicy soup, sometimes also served with Grießklößchen, a type of dumplings. The Quarkkeulchen can be served both sweet and savoury, with curd cheese, boiled potatoes and raisins. A touch of cinnamon, sugar and applesauce, hot cherries or vanilla ice cream will turn them into mouth watering desserts. And if you want to satisfy your sweet cravings, have some Eierschecke, a three layer cake you must try as every café in the city has it on the menu.
3. Visit the ResidenzschlossThis Renaissance palace is one of the most famous museums in Dresden with splendid collections and a unique treasure chamber, the Green Vault with nearly 3,000 masterworks in gold, amber and ivory. Admire the Dresden Armoury, the drawings of Goya, Michelangelo, Jan Van Eyck, Rubens or Rembrandt and also the fabulous worldwide coin collection. On the east side of the building, contemplate the monumental Fürstenzug, a monumental 344 feet long (102 m) porcelain mural.
4. Take in the views from the Brühl’s TerraceJust north of the Frauenkirche you will find a panoramic terrace overlooking the Elbe. Take a few minutes to admire the river, the buildings, the statues along the way and the gardens on the east side. Simply take in the views and get your best pictures of Dresden with splendid views.
5. Visit the Zwinger PalaceYou can have the opportunity to see one of the most lauded baroque buildings in Germany, the Zwinger Palace. The lavish festivities were held here during the 1700s.
