L61 castle tour - Blasewitz to Dresden

Description

Castle Tour

Discover the historic old town of Dresden aboard a ship and admire the most beautiful sites of the Elbe Valley.

Start off at Terrassenufer and see the three famous castles: Albrechtsberg, Eckberg, and Lingner Castle, along the Elbe on the way to the villa quarter Loschwitz. Pass four of the famous Elbe bridges, whose histories affect the city up until now. The most memorable bridge is called „Blue Wonder", which gets its name because of the color.

Soak up the views of the impressive Pillnitz Palace as your boat drops anchor for roughly twenty minutes. It was built in the 18th century under the Elector of Saxony August the Strong and is now the site of the Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Arts and Crafts) as well as the Schlossmuseum (Castle Museum).
