Dresden - city of culture and green meadows
5th September 2008
Visitors seeking a different destination this year could consider the beautiful historical Baroque city of Dresden in East Germany.
Dresden is situated on the banks of the river Elbe and offers a diverse range of attractions throughout the year, as well as opportunities to get out onto the waterway's lush adjoining slopes and meadows to enjoy the views.
There are around 13,000 monuments in the city, including the Dresden Zwinger - a white-washed sandstone affair of pavilions and galleries - the Frauenkirche Church, Semper Opera House and the Royal Palace.
All of these are to be found in the Old City, in addition to museums, parks and the stunning cathedral of the Dresden-Meissen diocese.
Sightseers may want to stop and admire the sparkling Grunes Gewolbe - Green Vault in English - which is said to be on of Europe's most lavish treasure chambers where one can view jewels, precious stones as well as artworks of gold, ivory and bronze, to name just a few.
Therefore, whether sampling some of the local ale in one of the city's many beer gardens, emersing in history or shopping in the Prager Strasse, there's something here to suit all tastes.
For a perfect luxury break, Railbookers is offering a three-night stay at the elegant four-star Steigenberger Hotel de Saxe including breakfast and return train travel priced from £519 per person.
The price quoted applies to midweek arrivals between October 26th and November 27th 2008.
