Here, you will attend the organ service and learn a lot about the reconstruction during the central church tour. The afternoon is entirely yours – perhaps you will use the time for a museum visit? In addition to its architecture, Dresden also offers a vibrant cultural scene. Museums such as the Gemäldegalerie or the Green Vault house significant art treasures.
