This city has a unique charm, so having visited it at least once, everyone will certainly want to return back.
Among the main attractions of Dresden, it is worth noting the Frauenkirche – a beautiful Protestant Baroque church built in the 18th century, which is one of Dresden's symbols, the Opera House, which is one of the most iconic city buildings. Special attention should be given to the lavish palaces of Dresden, for example, the Zwinger Palace, which represents the masterpiece of the German late Baroque built at the beginning of the 18th century. Initially, this building was meant to be a greenhouse and a venue for commemorative events. As of today, it is one of the most famous exhibition halls in Germany.
