Does anyone have ideas where I can get a "English speaking Tour" to neighbouring cities e.g. Berlin, Leipzig, Munich, Prague Crezh Republic? I do not have any particular cities to visit in mind but somehow I would like to visit most of the interesting places around here during my vocation for 3 months in Dresden. I appreciate if someone could provide me more details. Thanks in advance.
In each of the cities you mention there is a tourist information center where they speak English and can give advice on the English-speaking tours.
Sie sprechen kein Deutsch? Schade.
But nevermind, grab the Lonely Planet Germany, it is the most complete guide to all the attractions. I'm German and I have used it on occasion for my travels within the country.
When you are in Dresden, don't miss to take a hike in the Elbsandstein Mountains just south of the city. Or ride a bike on the Elberadweg, a bicycling route going from Prague to Hamburg along the Elbe River and passing Dresden.
A nice castle you must see is Festung Königstein.

Also don't miss Weimar, Potsdam and Quedlinburg. A trip to Weimar or Quedlinburg is best combined with a stay in Leipzig. Have fun!

Explore the old town with the famous sights: Zwinger, Semper Opera, cathedral, castle, Frauenkirche (under reconstruction). These museums are a must: picture gallery “old masters” and “new masters”, Grünes Gewölbe (jewellery collection). Try to get tickets for the opera. Do a steam boat trip. Take the funicular up to the café Luisenhof and enjoy the view of the city.
ATMs and Plastic money: they are the most convenient way to take your money abroad. You get lots of benefits and (almost!!) no problems. You'll get lower exchange rate than if you were to exchane your cash, and you will pay lower commissions than if you came up with a travel cheque. But, above all, you'll get safety: you will not be crying over money lost forever even if your ATM card gets stolen. And, even more than that, you can pay in many shops by a plastic card: Karstadt, Peak&Kloppenburg, Hertie are just some of them. So, I am always travelling with my ATM cards in my pocket. And in Dresden (and in some smaller towns nearby that I've seen) there are plenty of ATM machines. But, however, here are some important rules to keep in mind: 1) Do use Electron/Cirrus/any other debit card for withdrawals, as any other thing will be considered a cash advance, 2)Try to take out money few times but in bigger sums so as not to accumulate fees, 3) If you loose you card call the issuing company immediatley and better call you bank, too, to block the card.
This amazing Russian Orthodox Church built between 1872-74 in the style of those from the 17th century is a can't miss on your way into Dresden if arriving from the south by car. If not, back track from the train station to catch it. It was built as a place of worship for the Russian Legation to the Kingdom of Saxony.

I would say it´s very cheap and I love the oriental atmosphere like music and scene. I like to eat Chicken Döner there! It´s a lot and it´s really good! and last time I tried Halloumi - Spinat Börek. I loved it.
