Dresden Zwinger

The Zwinger is an incredibly beautiful place in Dresden. I highly recommend walking along the upper level (or terrace) and doing a full circular tour - it’s free. The views of the inner courtyard and the surrounding city are stunning, and the architecture is breathtaking from every angle. It’s the perfect spot to take in Dresden’s baroque grandeur!

Sadly, when I attended, the Zwinger courtyard was undergoing renovations. This made it slightly inconvenient to walk between the different Art galleries. Other than this, all of the Art was unique and interesting. There is a large variety as, seen in the photos, so all who enter can find something they like. You must put over coats and bags in lockers.

Although the Zwinger Palace’s courtyard was undergoing renovations at the time, the stunning Baroque architecture of the surrounding galleries was still impressive. Its symmetry, detailed sculptures, and elegant pavilions are worth admiring. Normally, you can walk around the courtyards for free, while the museums inside charge a fee (€10-12). You could spend 1-2 hours exploring the galleries or more if the courtyards are accessible.

A wonderful historical building with many extraordinary objects on display in 3 different expositions. The Old Gemàldegalerie is quite stunning and impressive, as it is the porcelain museum. The inner garden was under reconstruction unfortunately. It's a wonderful place not to be missed when visiting the amazing city of Dresden.

This is a very beautiful old structure in dresden. The place is big to roam around and we experience Christmas market nearby when we went there .It's a bit costly to buy there and eat there though.

Definitely worth a visit It's free to walk around a lot of the buildings and grounds and was recommended to us by a local. It really is quite spectacular with it's extravagant layout and ornate carvings. The grounds were still under reconstruction when we visited and we can't wait to come back when it's finished. The cafe was also lovely with good coffee and cakes. Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit the museum or exhibition.

Amazing palace, which is now used as a museum. The inside is currently being renovated, but you can still walk around half the thing on metal walkways. Obviously I would've liked to see the place in a pristine state, but I'm glad to see it's being renovated!

Inside is under construction but can still walk around. It's quite beautiful architecture. It's one of the must stop by areas. We did not go into the museum which is a ticketed area.
