Dresden

Dresden, the capital of Saxony, is located in eastern Germany near the border with the Czech Republic. The beauty of the old town, nestled in the open land along the Elbe River, is outstanding. The magnificent Baroque cityscape built in the 18th and 19th centuries was devastated during World War II, but years of restoration work have restored it to its original beauty, and many travelers come to enjoy the elegant atmosphere of the ancient city.
