A treasure of Art and Architecture.

#myhiddengems During my time in Berlin, I had heard so much about the artworks and architecture in places like Dresden. It was just a matter of planning the trip. Luckily on a certain weekend two of my friends joined me. This was a good two hour drive from Berlin. If i was to do this trip solo, I would have looked up the bus timings. Turns out there are some comfortable connections in the morning. With the weather slightly rainy and the grey hue of baroque styled architecture in Dresden, it adds such a mysterious sort of element to the look. The sight of this city in the evenings was lovely, when all street lamps were turned on and this being December the Christmas decorations. Part of our plan was to see the old masters picture gallery. But we were not lucky that day as it was closed on maintenance. So, for the next trip Raphael’s “Sistine Madonna” will be a high priority.Other than that we went about seeing the innumerable monuments spread mostly over the old town of Altstad and the new town Neustadt. Moving on we saw the opera house, the Frauenkirche, the Schloss castle, the cathedral, and the Zwinger all situated not far from the majestic river Elbe. Other interesting sights that i would recommend are the Neumarkt, the Altmarkt, the Brühlsche Terrasse, Königstrasse in the Neustadt, the Yednize tabac factory. #myhiddengems #saxony #100waysoftravel #dresden #summerdestinations #germany #solotrip #europetrip #singapore
