Dresden: 6 Reasons for Visiting the Fascinating Baroque City

No thanks. Come and have a look at Coventry.

i hope they keep restoring the city back to its pre-war look. Dresden and Saxony as a whole are beautiful and so rich in history!

You can shove modern architecture where lava bubbles!

Interesting how people are attracted to walkable areas and traditional architecture but cities don't build those anymore.

This city is the bomb

Nobody must see Dresden. Too boring + too many poor alcoholic Germans.

Just came here because of dr.tenma from monster anime

I would advise people of color against visiting Dresden alone. Dresden and the state is one of the most racist states in Germany and this is definitely a thing to consider. People are openly racist in Dresden. I know the city is beyon beautiful, but I would advise against going there, and if you end up going, do not stay for long try to leave as soon as possible.

I went to Dresden for two days this month. Painfully boring, I’d never return. Too many old people too.

Another must; with respect to Dresden. Never be weak nor afraid of not standing with those who bombed Dresden. In other words .. don't be like DW and those who speak for them.

DYNAMO

Yo what's up. Greetings from Dresden. It's actually beautiful here. But the people are very German 😐

Sorry DW aber was lügt ihr hier? Die frauenkirche wurde nicht komplett durch Spenden wiederaufgebaut! Die Kosten belaufen sich auf 180Millionen!
Aufgeteilt auf 115Millionen durch Spenden! 65Millionen kommen von der Stadt Dresden, dem Freistaat Sachsen und vom Bund.
Man sollte schon die richtigen Fakten aufzählen und nicht die Lüge das das alles nur Spenden sind!


SRY DW but you Tell ließ about the frauenkirche is build through Spending!
It cost 180millionen Euro!
115million through spending. 65million from City Dresden, Bundesstaat Sachsen and Goverment Germany!
Why you Tell tge lie it is build through spending?

The rock in the saxon switzerland is definetly not limestone! It's sandstone.

I fell in love this place, definitely will go back again to visit ❤

One of the darkest war crimes of WW2.. needless destruction ordered by Churchill the war monger

Dresden was the first city in the world to loose its World Culture Heritage status due to local politicians eager to set themselves a landmark: They build a huge bridge that divides the former lush meadows along the river Elbe and hinder historical views along the valley. The bridge itself is nothing special either and a rather functional bridge.

Further reasons for the construction were to facilitate motorised traffic. (Improvement for public transport were not in the discussion.)
The bridge is used pedestrians and bicycles as well.


The Waldschlösschen-bridge is considered an illegal building because necessary documentation and evaluation of damages to nature caused by the bridge were never been properly carried out by the Saxon conservative government.

Bin Wahldresdnerin seit 10 Jahren) Kann nicht mehr weg von hier… 💚 Hab hier meine rieeesengroße Liebe gefunden… Mein Herz schlägt für Dresden 💚 Die beste Stadt in Deutschland! (Bin Russin…(((

I'm so happy seeing Dresden back to its vibrant days, Truly a magnificient city. I've just watched the BOMBING OF DRESDEN during WW2 and how it was destroyed and the horrific firestorm that killed thousands of people. I hope I can visit someday!

Here are some alternatives. Vistit the local football ground, visit the Techno and Punk music scene and don't miss the Biergarten at Elbe river!

Is this the most beautiful place on earth?

beautiful city but unfortunately too many unfriendly people who are against foreigners. I thought Germany was behind it

Gorgeous. Too bad about the original church. War sucks. It destroys a lot of valuable and historical locations. Hate that!

The Dresden Park Railway is also a very cool place in Dresden

Unnecessary annoying music.

How much was lost or destroyed in ww2? in terms of cultural objects and buildings

Vova 👑

The architecture of Dresden is so beautiful. There is alot to see ,and I really liked the Opera House.

The Allied Forces should not have bombed Dresden.

I have been to Dresden many times to visit my daughter and her family, and every time I was there I was stunned by its versatility. It was an invaluable gift to watch Placido Domingo at Nabucco at Semperoper in 2019. It is magical.

The techno music didn't match the boroque architecture

After visiting just after the fall of the wall and seeing the rather decrepit state of the city (still a very enjoyable week spent there though) I am rather saddened that the Frauenkirche was not left in its destroyed state as an incontrovertible statement as to the folly of war. Cathedrals are a dime-a-dozen in Europe. I'm reminded of the (Catholic) King in Spain who rebuked his church architects after they'd built the new Cordoba Cathedral inside the incomparable Moorish Mezquita - in paraphrase - "You have destroyed something unique to build something commonplace!"
The Zwinger, the Art Collections, the Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault) and the hiking in the Sächsische Schweiz (Saxon Switzerland) all make Dresden a must-see on any visit to Germany. 🙂

I would think there would be a memorial in the city to the tens of thousands of deaths that resulted from the bombing in February 1945. I visited the city in 1991. The bombing was still very evident at that time. Those unnecessary deaths, very close to the end of the war, should not be forgotten.

Thanks for the video 👍

Dresden should NEVER have been bombed by the warmonger Thugs!!

I have ben working in Dresden as a travel guide for almost 10 years. Every time I’m there I discover new things to see. There is soo much history in the beautiful city 😊

~Such a gorgeous, beautiful city, very unique and majestic, -absolutely stunning!💖

dresden was the first german city i visited, and i loved it! it was so calm, beautiful, and easy to navigate. the locals were helpful and thorough in providing information, though the staff at the zwinger were a bit overzealous with security. overall i had a fantastic time and would return in a heartbeat. very underrated city.
