EU 2015 (vi): Dresden

Dresden is one of those recommended daytrips from Berlin or Prague. It's situated in between Berlin and Prague, so it makes sense to do a stopover for a couple of hours while taking the train to Prague. Having said that, this is going to be a short entry ;)

The trip planning slides on Dresden 
Since our travel day fell on Good Friday, most (if not all) of the shops along the way from the train station to the city were closed. It was a good 20 to 30 minute stroll to the river.
Practically empty. On a normal day I bet that Primark is the main attraction :)

That could be the Kreuzkirche, a Lutheran church

The Zwinger Palace should be the green-roofed building in the background

Not too sure what building this is

Semperoper - opera house, concert hall, ballet


Dresden Cathedral and Dresden Castle

Dresden Cathedral (Katholische Hofkirche)




Apparently the Dresden Elbe Valley is removed from the World Heritage Site due to  "the building of a four-lane bridge". That's too bad.

Guess which Ninja Turtle is not in the list?  Hehehe... kidding! :)

Dresden Academy of Fine Arts

Bruhl's Terrace (on the left) overlooking the Elbe River

I could be wrong, but this could be Dresden State Art Collections

Frauenkirche - a Lutheran church, with the statue of Martin Luther, a reformer and theologian



off to Prague! :)
