Dresden, Germany

A weekend at the end of March 2006 in Dresden, capital city of Saxony, located in the eastern part of Germany.
Its palaces, castles, churches and museums - like Zwinger, Semper Opera house, Royal Palace, Frauenkirche church and many others - have established the reputation of Dresden as one of the most famous cities of German baroque style.

The urban area of Dresden is imbedded in a wide valley that is formed by the river Elbe. The historical centre of Dresden and the Old City is situated on the left bank of the Elbe, whereas on the rights banks the Neustadt and the government quarters are located.

Nearly every year at the end of wintertime Dresden runs the risk of being flooded, like many other cities along the Elbe...
