Sightseeing/Leisure

Included in the program of the Boysen-TU Dresden-Autumn School 2024 there is an excursion and a city tour followed by a dinner scheduled on Monday and Tuesday evening. Nevertheless, if you are arriving early or staying longer in Dresden, here are some recommended activities to get to know the city better:

• If you are walking through the new town (“Neustadt”), you will definitely find a place to eat your favourite food or a nice bar to have a drink and spend the evening. Look for the streets “Alaunstraße” and “Louisenstraße”.

• To explore the history of Dresden you should stroll through the old town (“Altstadt”), there you will find a lot of museums and the world famous “Frauenkirche”.
• For having a walk, the foot paths along the river Elbe are perfect. You could have a walk to the bridge “Blaues Wunder” and enjoy a ride with the oldest funicular in the world (“Bergbahn”) up the hills of the river Elbe to have a pretty view over the city.
• For a more demanding day of hiking you could take a short train ride to Saxon Switzerland. The national park has some of the most picturesque hiking trails in Germany.
