Dresden in 9 stops: a free audio guide and a day trip from Prague
The Frauenkirche in Dresden survived the firestorm of February 1945 for two days, then collapsed, and stayed a heap of rubble for almost fifty years. It was consecrated again in 2005; the dark stones in its light walls are original blocks, put back where they had been.
Dresden is two hours from Prague, and we wrote a free English audio guide to its old town:
- 🎧 9 stops, about 2 km, from the Zwinger to the Altmarkt, one short track per stop
- 🏛️ The Fürstenzug: 102 metres of Meissen porcelain tiles that survived the bombing almost undamaged
- 🎄 The Striezelmarkt on the Altmarkt has been held since 1434, from the end of November until Christmas
- 🚗 Day trip from your Prague hotel: €210 per car (up to 4), €230 minivan (up to 8) — fuel, tolls, parking and waiting included
- 🛂 Take a passport or ID card: Germany runs checks at its land borders
