Welcome to the 'Florence on the Elbe,' a city that rose from the ashes of history to become a stunning showcase of Baroque splendor. You'll find that the heart of the city, the Altstadt (Old Town), is wonderfully compact and perfect for a leisurely stroll. Be sure to wander through the grand Zwinger Palace courtyard and gaze up at the magnificent dome of the Frauenkirche, a powerful symbol of reconciliation. For a perfect end to your day, take a walk along Brühl's Terrace, the 'Balcony of Europe,' and watch the sunset over the river.
