Travel Tips for Dresden
The Elbe Valley – no more a World Heritage Area
by Kakapo2
-
Update 27 June 2009 after the loss of the World Heritage listing
Dresden is located in the Elbe valley. A 40 km long and 20 km wide stretch of this valley – between Pirna and Meißen - is called Dresdner Elbtal (Dresden’s Elbe Valley). This area got World Hertitage status by UNESCO in 2003. About 800 sites carry this title worldwide and about 30 in Germany. (The number is constantly changing, so do not challenge me on it…)
But in June 2009 the Dresden Elbe Valley was deleted from the list of cultural landscapes due to the building of a four-lane bridge (Waldschlösschen Bridge) in the heart of the cultural landscape which meant that the property failed to keep its “outstanding universal value as inscribed”, as the UNESCO committee pointed out.
Dresden is only the second property ever to have been removed from the World Heritage List. Oman´s Arabian Oryx Sanctuary was delisted in 2007.
The now lost World Heritage status honoured the unique ensemble of the city’s splendid architecture, its rich culture and the mostly natural landscape along the river. This includes the Baroque buildings, the art collections, the Elbe cruises, the vineyards of the Elbe valley, the Elbschlösser (castles near the city centre), Schloss Pillnitz, historic villas, restored villages and historic industrial sites.
Surely the committee recognised the huge efforts made after the total destruction of the city in the last weeks of World War II.
The World Heritage Area covered 19.3 square kilometres, and 18 kilometres of the Elbe Valley from Söbringen to Übigau, and is 500 metres to 3 kilometres wide.
Car factory in Dresden
by drei3t
There is a Volkswagen car factory in Dresden that organizes guided tours. In the factory you will see how the luxus models of sedan are made, a lot of information about the car itselves, etc. The location is fairly good, near the zoologischer garten of Dresden.
The factory is mainly constructed of glass. Unfortunately we could not get in to the factory because it was the nights of the arts and the queues were about 1,5km long..
But we have heard that the tour is very interesting, especially if you are interested in autos.
You have to reserve time beforehand, see their home page.
Japanese Palace and Ethnological Museum
by german_eagle
The Japanese Palace is an impressive Baroque building, located at the right bank of the river and a landmark of Dresden. It was built in the early 18th century with four-wings enclosing a courtyard. The roofs and the sculptures give it an east-Asian touch, and since the intention was for the palace to hold the porcelain collectin it was called "Japanese" Palace. The originally Baroque garden was later redesigned in English style. After the serious damages in the bombing in 1945 both the palace and garden were reconstructed.
Since 1954 The Ethnological Museum found its home in the Palace. Although less known than the Picture Gallery Old Masters and the Green Vault it has an outstanding collection of pieces from Africa, Asia and other world regions to offer. Highlights are e.g. the Damaskus-room and a model of a Chinese dragon boat.
Opening hours: Tue-Sun 10-18 h
Admission fee: 4 Euro
Take a cable railway for a great view over Dresden
by Antji
Go over the Blaues Wunder (blue bridge) near the Körnerplatz and take one of the two cable railways. One cable railway goes to Weisser Hirsch, thats a part of Dresden, where you will find a lot of expensive villas from rich people and the other goes to a part of Dresden, where are a lot of Villas too but more from artists.
From both places you will have a beautiful view over Dresden and you can walk around or eating in some great restaurants.
Evening Sightseeing around the Zwinger
by shellydenisefranklin
We only had two short days in Dresden and began our sightseeing around 9:30pm on a Friday. It was a great time to see the Zwinger and Semper Opera lit up, and just a short walk away we ran into a free modern opera performance! The views from the bridge were stunning.
