A Day In Dresden - What To See In Dresden, Germany

Nice city and most importantly nicely captured. Kudos

Nette stadt 👍👍

Hey, Guys. Your video is so enjoyable! Watching it made me feel like I was taking a relaxing stroll through a beautiful city. I was just wondering, what month were you in Dresden? I would love to stumble upon that cute open market when we visit, but I'm thinking we might be getting there too late for a summer market and too early for the Christmas market.

Thanks for sharing. Going there later in the summer. I am HIGHLY allergic to alcohol. Not sure if they put any kind of alcohol in many of their common foods including mustard. Perhaps I should bring my own.

I got admitted into TU Dresden and am to resume my study in October, 2023. So, I find this presentation very useful. Please, is there African market in Dresden? Please How do I cope without Africa dishes in Dresden??

Nice Job. But you missed Dresden-Neustadt.

As someone who lived in Dresden his whole life it's interesting to see it from an outside perspective

About the bratwurst. Although “braten” means “to fry”, as it is used in “Bratkartoffeln” (fried potatoes), “brat” in “Bratwurst” comes from “Brät”, which is the spiced sausage “dough”

Leipzig isnt larger, Dresden 328km² and Leipzig 297km², Dresden has more space, more green and more friendly people

You were there at the spring market. That is our spring market. Shame you didn't tried quarkbällchen.

As a American living in Dresden almost 28 years its always nice to see Travel Vids over Dresden.Nice camera work good sound but you really need to get your facts straight ( Thats not the Christmas Market)( and the black color in the sand stone is not from fire) other than that nice vid.

Very important for Dresden is also the "white fleet": This is the largest and oldest paddle steamer fleet in the world. This fleet belongs at least as much to Dresden as the Frauenkirche. On one of these steamships ("Diesbar") is even the oldest still operating steam engine in the world (built in 1841).

Thanks for the video! It's sometimes hard to see the beautiful parts of a city if you live there, but it's fantastic to see it so appreciated!
Fun fact for the Frauenkirche: The new gold cross adorning the top was made by an English goldsmith whose father was a pilot that took part in the bombing of the city. A beautiful symbol.

You barely scraped the surface of my beautiful hometown. 😅 Can't wait to show it my Kiwi hubby next year.
But your video was a lovely introduction and I appreciate your massive effort of pronouncing things right.
PS: it's a common misbelief that the Frauenkirche was destroyed in the bombings of Dresden. The church collapsed three days after. Not because it was hit by bombs, but because the film archive in its basement caught fire and burnt far hotter than any of the fires around the church.

Watching your video here in Dresden 😊. Spend 2 nights here and im leaving tommorow

Just a point of note..it was "allied" airforces which bombed dresden not just the royal air force..Thought that should be pointed out to avoid confusion.

This is a very good educational video.. But, how many days do you recommend.. ?

this is the best video ive seen on visiting Dresden

Gorgeous place, can't wait to visit.

What are things there to do as a pilot?

I hope you come back to Dresden! There are many fun facts hidden in details. For example, the Fürstenzug: Underneath the horse of Albrecht II is a rather thorny and mean looking flower. Albrecht II wasn't a good ruler, he liked alcohol, gambling and questioning company. The horse of August der Starke (August the Strong) is the ONLY horse that is trampling a flower. A rose, to be exact. That's because August changed his religion to become polish king. He "trampled" on the beliefs of his fathers and family.
Quite a few such fun facts can be found throughout Dresden's histroical buildings. It's worth another visit, if you ask me!

Dresden is a very special place. Must visit in Germany.

Start pronouncing the city's correctly

Although the former 800 year old city had endured a few fires from previous centuries...by the time of WW2 the materials used no longer existed.

The Zwinger got its name from the place it was built in. A Zwinger (literally: enforcer) in medieval architecture is the space between the inner and the outer wall of a fortification. The little water on the aouth and western side of the Zwinger, the Zwingergraben and Zwingerteich, are the remainings of the old castle trench around Dresden proper. In the old fortification, Duke Elector Frederick the Strong had the Zwinger built as the place for the festivities on the occasion of the marriage of his son. The Zwinger is thus not a palace as such, it's an arena for concerts, dances and in historical times also battle shows and blood sports.

The fact that these rivers run so far explains why the region was so successful as a trading super power.
Mexico for example has sp few rivers that travel inland that the country was never as successful as the USA. They still can't build a road connecting Central America

I am currently in the early stages of planning a two-week trip to Germany 🇩🇪 this fall. Dresden is on my list of places to visit.

is it far from the Dresden train station?

That interaction in the market was typical of my experience of Germany, you might as well not bother trying German they all speak very good English and enjoy using it.

Thank you sooo much for this beautiful video about my Dresden Max and Sidney. Hope you has a very good times here and you come back sometimes for visit again. Kind regards Petra from Dresden

what time of the year were you in Dresden? I'm spending a day there in June and I'd love to see this street market, I wonder if it will be there. like you guys I always say that one day I want to go see the christmas markets but I often travel in the summer.... so it would be awesome to see that there!

Nice video of my hometown👍🤩

I really want to go to Dresden so bad, but so many places on my list 😀

The three Klemperer houses.

dresden is the racist-capital of germany

My friend was their Feb 1945, fleeing Yugoslavia, as people went to the Elbe the British killed those civilians. no good

It is even funnier that we call them Bratwurst in America but boil them in beer and Sauerkraut not fry. lol

Of the cities in Germany I've visited the central part of Dresden was the most beautiful.

Those Commies did very little to restore Dresden. And some of that boring Soviet architecture still remains - thank God not in the city center though..

Semper Opera House, Green Vault and Raphael's Sistine Madonna - must see's not mentioned in this video.

the Neustadt, a part of the city right on the other side of the Elbe is definitely sth u should have visited

Amazing 🤞🏼

thank you so much for beautiful video🤩

is the enterance for the inside the palace free?

The garden in the Zwinger palace was to be remodeled and the time was used to make some extensive ground examinations. They found dozens of old 17th century pottery and ornaments.

We will be there shortly for exhibition and I hope we will be able to see some stuff. I will watch the video again before we depart.

Good effort on the detail. The stonework being blackened by the bombing is however a common misconception. The blackening happens over time and is a natural feature of sandstone.

I am planning to visit Dresden in April 2025, i can't wait to see this beautiful and resilient city.

Dresden is truly one of the most beautiful cities in Germany! Are you planning a trip to Germany any time soon?
