Overview

Meissen is a town of approximately about 15 miles (25 km) northwest of Dresden on both banks of the Elbe river in the Free State of Saxony. Meissen is the home of Meissen porcelain, the Albrechtsburg castle, the Gothic Meissen Cathedral and the Meissen Frauenkirche.The Grosse Kreisstadt (English: "major district town") is the capital of the Meissen district. Experience the unique opportunity to enjoy the special atmosphere during the Meißen Advent season. It takes 3 hours by car from Prague to reach Meissen. We spend two hours there.If you like Christmas, you will love Dresden! 11 completely different Christmas markets lie right at your feet: from the very traditional to the merry medieval to the apres-ski charm of the Huttenzauber - you will find it all. Mmmh, can´t you already smell the enticing aroma of baked apples. Takes 30-minute drive from Meissen to Dresden.
