Dresden

Dresden was destroyed during WWII, and came to life from ashes like the Pheonix. Filled with museums, German Cuissine, very nice buildings and  fairytale castles.

The Elbe riverside is a great place to travel by bicycle to near by towns. For example, an 8 km excursion to Pillnitz Castles is very rewarding with the fantastic view.

Another nice place to walk around is "Grosser Garten". Part of it includes a zoo and very nice fountains. It is also nearby the "Hygiene Museum". No... it is not about toilet paper, it is about the human body.

The "Altstad" is a gorgeous part from this city. It may remind us of Prague because they had the same Emperor August for a period of time. Some famous building are the "Zwinger" and the looong wall mosaic.

 Another beauty is Frauenkirche. It has been completely reconstruted. The inside is very....girly? The walls and furniture are pink, light blue, light green and gold.

 This city has also suffered from flooding. This wave represents how hight the water got with some torrential rains a couple years ago. Al the paintings in the museums were moved so they didn't get ruined.

The background from the picture right under, is the sameone than the famous painting with "Augustusbrücke" by Canalleto (1721-1780). It is a must-take-picture :)

 Another intereting part of the city, is the "Neustadt". As its names implies it is the newst part of the city. Many young artists live here. It offers different bars and bookshops...and vegeterians! :) Yummy and cheap ;)
