From The Times

May 8, 2009

“Although the White House said yesterday that it was unable to confirm claims that Mr Obama would visit Buchenwald and Dresden next month, almost every senior official in the states of Thüringia and Saxony already appears to have been informed about the impending trip. Secret Service advance units are said to have checked out the hotel, a restored palace, where he may stay in Dresden.”

 

The visit has been a honour for us. Dresden is not just a city of destruction, but offers treasures of art & architecture!

 

You are very welcome to visit us as well, we are ready to organize your stay in Dresden!

Welcome to one of Germany's most beautiful cities.

We would like to sweep you away to one of Germany‘s most beautiful cities. Our love for Dresden, combined with our long experience in travel and concert business, build the basis of our special offers.

Even before the 20th century, Dresden was renowned as one of the most wonderful German cities, a center for art and politics. Its almost total destruction in the Second World War temporarily put an end to that, but already in the years shortly following the end of the war, many of the buildings were rebuilt and restored. Other buildings degenerated.

 

After the German reunification, the federal state of Saxony, Dresden being its capital, experienced a wonderful economic and cultural boom.

Baroque architecture and unique art collections that show the treasures of the Green Vault, Asian and European porcelain and paintings from eight centuries, unite themselves in Dresden‘s active musical life. Today, the saxionian Staatskapelle is one of the most prestigious orchestras in Europe. The opera house, built by Gottfried Semper, is one of the greatest buildings in theater architecture.

The Saxion rulers, with their profound appreciation for art and passion for collecting, left us this rich inheritance, which now shines in full splendor.

Every year, more people discover the beautiful sides of this great city.

The tremendous work of reconstructing the historical buildings, especially the famous Frauenkirche, impresses visitors from all over the world.

The areas surrounding Dresden also have much appeal. Not only impressive nature scenes, but also castles and estates from many centuries offer wonderful opportunities for excursions.

 

I‘ll see you in Dresden!
