Overview

Marvel at iconic architecture in the city once called the Florence of Germany on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Dresden. Dresden's beauty has been revived, and visitors find themselves, once again, enthralled by the impressive architecture that spans several centuries. On this tour, I’ll show you the most stunning buildings and monuments and tell you about the Old Town’s dramatic history. You’ll walk through Zwinger Park and pass by the Royal Palace where August the Strong lived. On the way, I’ll tell you about his mistress, the unlucky Countess of Cosel, and how she lived happily in exile. As you make your way towards Neumarkt Square, you’ll see one of the best-preserved courts where jousting tournaments were held, the Old Town’s former Jewish centre, and the Frauenkirche, a very imposing baroque church that was destroyed during World War II but re-emerged out of the rubble in 2005.
