Dresden, sometimes known as 'Elbflorenz', the Florence of the Elbe, deserves to be defined in its own terms: The Zwinger, the greatest of the Baroque palaces that line the river, is a revelation. Many of the finest buildings, including the Semper Opera House (we can secure tickets), have been restored.

Built in 1730, the Bülow Residenz is one of the oldest and most beautiful Baroque buildings in the heart of Dresden. Fully refurbished in 1993, this elegant Relais & Chateaux hotel offers contemporary comfort with traditional touches throughout the 30 bedrooms and suites.
Crowned by the Frauenkirche, which had lain in ruins since the end of World War II until it was re-consecrated in 2005, the historic quarter of Dresden has been completely and sensitively restored and the ‘Florence on the Elbe’ has regained its position as one of Europe’s greatest cultural centres.
Traverse the heart of Central Europe from vibrant Berlin, to Baroque Dresden and medieval Prague. Explore the vast collections of Berlin’s Museum Island, before travelling to Dresden – known as the ‘Florence of the Elbe’ and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities – to visit the magnificently reconstructed Frauenkirche and discover the treasures of the Electors of Saxony in the Green Vaults. Finish in the old city of Prague, where one of Kirker’s expert guides will introduce you to the city’s mediaeval and Renaissance history.
