Frauenkirche Lego Model
by Kathrin_E
This model of the Frauenkirche was entirely built from Lego. It's about 2.5 metres high.
The Lego church can be admired in the Karstadt department store (Prager Straße) on the top floor where the restaurant is, in the corner next to the escalator.
Hint: In case you are in the area round Prager Straße and Altmarkt and need a WC, wanting to see the Lego model is a fine excuse towards your travel companions to visit the toilets of the Karstadt restaurant which are on the same floor (clean, but tip expected).
SemperOper
by aliante1981 about SemperOper
Well, that's not everybody's idea of nightlife, but it's a great thing. If you can, go to see an opera show at one of the most famous theatres of Europe - the SemperOper of Dresden. You are supposed to wear evening/formal dress to evening performances.
Fancy romantic diner for way less then you expect
by feederle about SAS Radisson Gewandhaus Dresden
If you want to impress your girlfriend, have a romantic dinner with your wife or just give yourself a special treat, this one is right for you!
The only Hotel rated as luxury class in Dresden (the Hilton for example just get´s first class...) i thought the prices would be astronomical. But I was surprised, actualy it is very affordable for a special occasion.
For a 6 course meal you pay 56€. Not realy something a budget traveller can afford every day but trust me it´s worth it!
Remember this is very high class and so men should wear at least a black trouser and a polo shirt.
The Courtyard
by KituAdventures
The perfect Roccoco courtyard of the Zwinger Palace in Dresden is one of Germany's most beautiful cultural sights. The curving symetrical facades were all but destroyed in 1945, but the restoration is so merticulous it's impossible to tell.
