Good to know
When is the best time to visit Dresden?
**Best time:** **April–June and September–October** (12–22°C, ideal for the old town + Elbe cycling); **December** for the Striezelmarkt. · https://gotripzi.com/destinations/dresden-de
What is worth doing in Dresden?
The Frauenkirche + the story of reconciliation. The church flattened in 1945 and rebuilt from its own rubble by 2005 — the reconstruction (with a British-made cross, funded in part by former adversaries) is Dresden's reconciliation symbol, understood with gravity rather than as a photo stop. Bookable: church (free/donation) + guided historical context. · https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187399-d243670
