Summary:
Great tour! The Procession of Princes was the perfect first stop. Nicholav used this porcelain tile mural to walk us through Dresden’s history…Holy Roman Empire through Napoleonic times. This set the context for the rest of the places that we saw. He was also very informative on more recent 19th and 20th century history. In 2 hours we were able to hit all the key sites. We’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in Dresden’s history.
