Real baroque houses. The quarter reaches from the "Heinrichstraße" up to the "Albert Platz". On the Heinrichstr and in the surroundings you will find a lot of antique stores.

You get a nice view of the whole city and the price of admission to climb the tower is lower than at the more famous Frauenkirche. There are also some nice pieces in the church that were not destroyed in the World War II bombings, and also look for temporary exhibitions of modern sacred art, etc.

This opera house is known for its architecture and the Staatskapelle Dresden orchestra. Its history includes the premieres of several operas by Wagner and Strauss.

Guided tours in German are offered throughout the day.

Go to the (mostly) green river banks, especially on hot summer evenings/nights for a very nice view of the old parts and lot of people playing sports, having barbecues and parties. There are often big concerts and a huge movie screen offers "outdoor cinema."

A huge movie screen offers cinema (in German) in a beautiful setting and there are also many concerts with popular stars. Again, it is the biggest event of its kind in Europe!
