Stroll through the beautiful gardens of the Zwinger palace complex, which is also home to several museums. Head to Dresden Castle, the former residence of the electors and kings of Saxony. Learn about the history of the Albertine House of Wettin and the Kings of Poland, and see some of the beautiful art and furnishings inside the castle. Take a short walk to the Palace of Tachenberg, a luxurious palace hotel owned by the Kempinski Group. Enjoy the stunning architecture and beautiful views of Dresden Castle and the Zwinger. Visit the Katholische Hofkirche, the former Catholic Church of the Royal Court of Saxony. Admire the beautiful architecture and artwork inside the church. See the mural "Parade of the Princes," a 102-meter-long mural composed of approximately 25,000 individual mosaics that depicts the rulers of Saxony. Walk to the Church of Our Lady "Frauenkirche," a stunning Lutheran church in Dresden that was destroyed during WWII but has since been rebuilt. End the tour at the Balcony of Bruhl, a historic balcony built in the 16th century as part of Dresden's fortifications.
