Things to do in Dresden, Saxony: The Best Nature & Parks
On the banks of the lovely Elbe River, the German city of Dresden is lush and green, filled with forests and gardens and parks. The city is rich with cultural and artistic history; the great operatic composer Wilhelm Wagner debuted a number of works here in the 1800s and, today, an independent light opera company keeps the classical art form modern and fresh. Culture vultures will love the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister and Grünes Gewölbe museums, and architecture buffs will salivate over the mélange of styles reflected in the cityscape.

Only a few minutes from Dresden’s city center, it becomes obvious that the art of gardening and landscaping is of great importance to the Saxony’s state capital still today. With its Grand Garden, Dresden has one of Europe’s most important gardens.

The gardens are very extensive and the miniature railway is worth a ride. You could easily spend an entire day here, and the train makes it easier to get around (assuming that you visit on a day when it is running).

Been a while since I've been to a zoo - probably the last one I went to was in Prague and there are some similarities here. Plenty of space in a park land layout. Magnificent lion showing off at the top of his pile. Playful Orangs. All very clean and animals looked cared for. Good value for money.

If you are in Dresden for the weekend and would like a body of exercise, what better way to do it than rent a bike and cycle along the Elbe bike paths, either upstream to Pirna or downstream to Meissen. The lop to Meissen is my favourite, approximately 52km, with many biergartens along the way to stop for a refreshment. Roll On offers very good bikes at reasonable prices. We usually rent an e-bike for my wife. Great fun!
