@Jim – Great to hear that you’re going to Dresden. I’d recommend 3 days in Dresden, and then use the extra time for exploring the surrounding area. Enjoy.

We are planning a trip to Dresden next June. Is 5 nights there too long? We are booked at the Gewandhaus Dresden.

@Alex – So glad to hear that you enjoy Dresden. I’ll admit I hadn’t heard of it either until I moved to Germany.

This is the most beautiful city I’ve seen. Haven’t been too many places yet but it blows Munich and Berlin out of the water. I live in the west but any time we get a 4 day weekend I try to make it back. The skyline takes your breathe away. I always tell my soldiers that they must go and yep none of them have ever heard about it.

Nice list! Yes, There is something missing in it, but you should have a list of 1000 attractions because in Germany every single little place has something beautiful to show

@Paul – Excellent point! The reason I didn’t mention it is that I’m celiac (allergic to bread, including Christstollen unfortunately), but you’re right, it’s something everyone should try when they’re there. Thanks for pointing that out.

Of all the comments about Dresden, I failed to see mention of Dresden best attribute. Dresden is home of the famous Christstollen (a German bread-based fruit cake) They are made and available forms all year round, but the Christmas Stollen is the best. Each year I get a Christstollen imported from Dresden (the highest quality of all). I still have an item on my bucket list to some year attend the Stollen Festival held each year on the first Sunday in Advent, to seen the Stollen Queen, and to taste the community Christstollen (all bakers in Dresden gather together to make a gigantic stollen, large enough for each person attending the festival to have a piece.
