This walking tour is a good introduction for every Dresden visitor. It gives you a first overview of the historic Old Town. You will immerse yourself in the 800-year history of Dresden and get to know the highlights of the Baroque city centre. The Baroque period in Dresden is closely connected with the dazzling person of Augustus the Strong. Get to know him as a monarch with a pronounced sense of power and a great passion for architecture and art, and enjoy the countless legends that surround this Saxon elector, who was also King of Poland.
With the help of an extensive portfolio of pictures I would like to show you the old Dresden before its demise in 1945. And since the reconstruction is still not completed today, you will be a witness of this exciting process.
