After our tour of the Semperoper was finished, we reconvened to head off on our tour of the city itself. Dresden is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. We were able to visit various palaces, churches, see the Zwinger palace, and stroll down the streets of Dresden, absolutely immersed in the beauty and art of the city.
Our tour concluded in the main city square, and we were able to break off into small groups to continue to explore the city. We decided to head up to the dome of the main cathedral to look out over the city.
That afternoon, we decided to visit one of the castles just outside of Dresden. The best thing about this castle were the views--all around the castle were breathtaking panoramas of German countryside. From rolling hills to flowing rivers, there are few words to describe the actual beauty of the landscape.
Dresden was definitely one of my favorite cities we visited. The culture, history, and music was absolutely amazing. My favorite memory of Dresden is after our final dinner in the city; due to issues with where we were originally supposed to eat, we'd ended up breaking off into small groups for dinner. When we all met up again that night, we headed to the bridge to catch a glimpse of the skyline over the water at night. That view was one of my favorites in all of Europe, and I would love to go back one day in the future and see it again.
Dresden is definitely on my list of cities to revisit in the future, and I honestly decided while we were there I'd be completely fine picking up and moving there to settle for work or grad school. We'll see how that goal turns out!
After our time in Dresden, we packed up our stuff and boarded the bus to head to our final stop in Germany-- Berlin!
