Dresdner Zwinger

  Dresdner Zwinger sits at the edge of the historic old town in Dresden, adjacent to the famed Semperoper. Built between 1710 and 1732, this remarkable baroque palace was designed by architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann as a royal festive arena. Today, the Zwinger serves as a cultural hub, housing museums like the Old Masters Gallery, where visitors can admire over 800 works from renowned artists. In December, the surrounding gardens transform into a charming winter market, adding to the site’s allure. Stroll through the meticulously landscaped courtyards, featuring ornate fountains and classical sculptures, for a taste of Dresden's rich history.
