Dresden — 3-day itinerary

One day covers the essentials that lie close together.

Gläserne Manufaktur · Großer Garten · Zoo Dresden

A second day lets you go beyond the very centre.

Zwinger · Semperoper · Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister · Residenzschloss Dresden · Kathedrale Ss. Trinitatis · Frauenkirche

Three days are comfortable — enough for museums and places further out.

Loschwitzer Brücke

An account lets you save the plan, change it and tick things off as you go.

We measured walking times to the main sights from different parts of the city. From the area below you reach them in 4 min on average, 7 min at the furthest, and 8 of them are within walking distance.

• Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (74 m)
• Historisches Grünes Gewölbe (101 m)
• Semperoper (144 m)

For comparison: from the worst-placed area it is 13 min on average to the same places.
