Dresden Daytrip

IMG_7679

To take full advantage of our train passes, Mark and I decide to stop and make a day trip to Dresden on our way to Prague. Dresden is nicknamed the Florence of the Elbe. It is lively with art and there seems to be museums everywhere. We didn't really know much about Dresden so we just got one of the tourist maps and walked around the area to all the sights.

We arrived in Dresden in the morning and had all day to wander around. After locking up our main packs we started heading towards the town center. There seems to be a lot of construction going on in this city and much of it is on our way to the center. There are many towering structures and and most have scaffoldings surrounding them. As we enter the center we see the Elbe and around which there are a lot of churches and museums.

We ended up catching a 2:30pm train instead of the 5:00pm because we got bored of the city. There is much to see, but since we were sick of going to museums we just walked around outside.
