Description

Discover the cultural treasures of Dresden on this guided tour of the famed Semperoper and the historic Residenzschloss. Step inside the Semperoper, an architectural masterpiece in the Italian High Renaissance style, meticulously reconstructed to its original glory after wartime destruction.

Marvel at the opulent interiors and learn about the world-renowned acoustics of the Semperoper’s grand auditorium. Your expert guide will share fascinating stories and historical insights, offering a deeper appreciation of one of Germany’s most distinguished opera houses.

Continue your journey at the Residenzschloss, located in the heart of Dresden’s old town. This former royal palace now houses the prestigious Dresden State Art Collections, often called the "Saxon Louvre" for its impressive array of museums and treasures.
