Human stories, architecture, and iconography are all covered in this tour: You will see the iconic squares and buildings that line them. For example the Saxon State Opera House, The Dresden Zwinger, the Royal Palace, the Procession of Princes, The Frauenkirche, and the Catholic Cathedral. Last but not least you will learn about the Frauenkirche, the symbol of Dresden's rise from the ashes and the symbol of reconciliation.Though the tour doesn't go inside any of these buildings, the information shared by your guide will help you decide what you'd like to cover on your own later.Your ticket includes a 10% discount for the restaurant Anna im Schloss, situated in one of the oldest rooms of the Dresden Royal Palace.
