Lovers of natural and architectural attractions will find much interesting in making a walk through the valley of the River Elbe. In this region they will see beautiful old mansions and palaces, including the famous Albrehtsberg, Ekberg, Lingnershloss, and Pillnits.
Bruhl terrace is the best place to spend a wonderful romantic evening. The terrace is located not far away from Palace Square. A picturesque promenade, an abundance of cozy cafes and restaurants - not only visitors, but also locals enjoy making their unhurried walks here. Fans of classical music will be genuinely interested in visiting Dresden opera, which is considered one of the best venues in Europe. The building, which houses the Opera, is also quite interesting. Initially the first house was built here in the 17th century. It was turned into a theater only in 1841. In the end of the 19th century the building was badly damaged by fire and it was restored only in the second half of the 20th century.
