Guided Story
Feel the gentle breeze coming from the Elbe? Look to your left, that's the impressive Japanese Palace. Did you know it once housed one of Europe's largest porcelain collections in the 18th century? As you wander through the Palaisgarten, listen to the soft rustling of leaves, whispering the stories of this historic site. To the west, the Marienbrücke speaks of the connections Dresden has forged through the ages. In spring, the garden blooms into a sea of flowers, while autumn paints the leaves in vivid reds and golds. Take a moment, sit on a bench, and soak in the ambiance. You might even spot some of the many birds that call this place home.
