It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the border with the Czech Republic. Its compact old town is one of the well preserved and most visited historic towns in Europe and certainly takes you back in time.<\/p>\n<p>Dresden is rightfully known as the &#8216;Florence of Germany&#8217;. You can\u2019t stop yourselves from falling in love with the narrow winding cobbled streets of this time capsule old town, reverberating with the sound of horse carriages. This city is just perfect!<\/p>\n<p>As soon as you enter Dresden, you just can\u2019t miss the panoramic view of the Old town and the bridge over River Elbe. There are two modern bridges on either side of the main old bridge called \u2018Augustusbrucke\u2019 and both of them offer spectacular views depending on the position of the sun.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9970 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_2-774x436.jpg\" alt=\"Dresden 2\" width=\"774\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_2-774x436.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_2-120x68.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_2-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_2-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_2.jpg 1089w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/>Once you are in the Old Town, all the places are very much next to each other, and you will come across most of the monuments more than once by just wandering around the streets.<\/p>\n<p>Right next to the bridge are the Dresden cathedral, the Opera house and some parts of the Dresden castle, including its ornate city gate.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9971 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_3-774x581.jpg\" alt=\"Dresden 3\" width=\"774\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_3-774x581.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_3-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_3-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The dome of the Dresden Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) is visible from almost every alley and street of the old town.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9973 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_5-774x436.jpeg\" alt=\"Dresden 5\" width=\"774\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_5-774x436.jpeg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_5-120x68.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_5-500x281.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_5-1080x608.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Dresden_5.jpeg 1089w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dresden&#8217;s Frauenkirche is a symbol of the suffering of German civilians after its destruction in World War II bombing and now of reconciliation after a painstaking restoration.

These canyons were formed by water erosion over a million years ago. The place became such an object of fascination that in 1851, a bridge linking a number of the rocks was constructed, and is itself something of a marvel of Victorian age engineering.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9991 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_2-774x435.jpeg\" alt=\"Bastei 2\" width=\"774\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_2-774x435.jpeg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_2-120x67.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_2-500x281.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_2.jpeg 861w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Bastei bridge rises above the Elbe river and provides great views of the rocky sandstone cliffs.

Given the time, I was interested in the Bastei, and I changed 3 buses to get to the place, which took around 1.5 hours. The bus dropped me right at the entrance leading to the bridge, so it was quite convenient.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10357 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_5-1-774x436.jpeg\" alt=\"Bastei 5\" width=\"774\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_5-1-774x436.jpeg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_5-1-120x68.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_5-1-500x282.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_5-1.jpeg 941w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9997 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_3-1-774x436.jpeg\" alt=\"Bastei 3\" width=\"774\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_3-1-774x436.jpeg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_3-1-120x68.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_3-1-500x282.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bastei_3-1.jpeg 941w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Do you have any tips for weekend trips in Germany? <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Let us know in the comments below!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By <em>We Are Travel Girls<\/em> Contributor Samita Santoshini&nbsp;of&nbsp;SamWanderlust.com<br \/>\nConnect With Samita&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sam_wanderlust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SamitaSantoshini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my recent trip to Berlin I wanted to make the most of the nice weather by not just seeing the famous sites and museums around the main city.
