Dresden: The Most Beautiful City in Germany

The Most Beautiful City in Germany

Obviously that’s a completely subjective statement but in my eyes Dresden is the most beautiful city in Germany. Dresden is located in the east of Germany in Saxony, half way between Berlin and Prague, and it’s often overlooked by tourists. It has a stunning Baroque skyline and the old town (rebuilt after WWII) has some of the most incredible architecture I’ve ever seen. It’s one city that literally took my breath away when I first visited.

Here are some of my favourite iPhone photos from my recent trip to Dresden.

The Most Beautiful City in Germany

Dresden is a 2 hour drive from Berlin or Prague so it’s a little far for a day trip but it would be perfect for a weekend trip from either city. Adam recently wrote about what to do on a weekend in Dresden so check it out for ideas on what to do while you’re there. What do you think, is Dresden one of the most beautiful cities in Germany?

  1. Amazing what an iPhone can take. If only for that, I’d probably consider getting one.

  2. Extraordinary photography my friend!! Wow!!! I really need to visit Dresden if I ever make it to Germany!

  3. Oh wow! That is beautiful! I have a poll going on where to spend our next trip abroad… Germany isn’t even on the list. But it should be!

  4. I absolutely love Dresden. It is gorgeous. Your photos are gorgeous!

  5. Beautiful combination of photography and destination! :)

  6. What a wonderful photo essay! I’ve never been to Dresden and after what you showed must definitely organise to get there anytime soon!

  7. Dresden is one of my favorite cities as well. It’s incredible how quickly and how well it was rebuilt after WWII.

  8. These photos really do make it look like the most beautiful city in Germany. Seriously stunning. Thanks for sharing.

  9. Beautiful photos of what must be a beautiful place. When I lived in the Czech Republic, a lot of our expat friends raved about Dresden, and although I planned to go, I never made it.

    • Shame you didn’t get there as it would have been such an easy trip for you but I’m sure you were busy with things to see in the Czech Republic.
