On the city tour I had a very friendly, knowledgeable, calm and humorous guide, very instructive, can be recommended. However, nobody really knew what and how it works with a ticket to the City Museum, but I came in and saw it too. The museum was fine, got an app for the phone, so bring headphones.

The 52nd Dixieland Festival was well organized and featured great bands. Unfortunately, those responsible in the city of Dresden prefer to support a Berlin band whose majority of "fans" are very close to the right-wing camp.

We really liked the City Card for Dresden...but the fact that the voucher had to be exchanged for a ticket was not good

We were travelling a lot. Dresden is a must-see and we would love to come back again

Great!!! Finally a good transport system where you can find your way around easily.
