The cradle of Saxony

A lovely spontaneous outing: there’s plenty to see and do when you’re out and about in the Dresden Elbland region. How about a city walk or a wine trail, for example? We highly recommend the public guided tour ‘Meissen – the cradle of Saxony’: it runs daily (in season) – whatever the weather. The themed tours through the historic old town centre promise even more of Meissen’s beauty. Or you can combine pleasure with exercise on a walk through the surrounding vineyards. Tours usually start at the Tourist Information Centre right on the market square.
