Dresden, Saxony of Germany
Whenever I thought to write about Dresden the capital of the state of Saxony of Germany three phases of the city float in my eyes even though I didn’t experience them directly. One of before the end of 1947 the next is just after the bombing of world war-ii and the last is today.

Dresden was the most important European centre of art, classical music, culture and science until its complete destruction on 13 February 1945. Almost 95% of the city was totally destroyed by the incessant bombing of Royal air force and USA air force. But the amazing thing is how it recapture its beauty and again become one of the most interesting places in Europe. Now a day’s anyone can expect a lot from the city. Tourists attracted in getting some excellent holiday snaps will discover more than adequate charming places of interest and attractions right through the city of Dresden, commendable of gracing photo albums.

Splendid palace of Zwinger is one of the things to see of Dresden and is an impressive model of late German-Baroque structural design. Following glance out the superb sights presented of its majestic exterior visitors can venture indoors to observe the complex interior and variety of exciting exhibits and other appeals, amongst which are the ceramic collection, the impressive Old Masters Picture Gallery, the fascinating Zoological Museum and the Mathematisch Physikalischer Salon.

St. Anne’s Church, is situated within the remarkable Altstadt district of Dresden and is a tiny structure that symbolizes the architecture of its age. The church has experienced various structural injuries from wars over the years, but it’s been profitably returned to its earlier beauty each time. St. Anne’s Church has spectacular acoustics and is regularly used for musical shows, with everything from classical to jazz concerts being amongst the main attractions here.

Dresden Royal Palace, was built in various legs between the 12th and 19th centuries and was the previous official royal residence of the Saxon royal family. The church unites architectural features from the Baroque, Romantic, Renaissance and neo-Renaissance periods, and although having suffered heavy structural damage during WWII, it has come a long way towards being returned to its unique glory.

The chapel of the palace is presently used by the Dresdner Staatschauspiel group for a number of well-supported events, while the fully renovated building is now home to many precious and valuable attractions, such as the Crown Jewels, the Engraving Collection and also the city’s Coin Museum.

Bruhlsche Terrassen can be another heart stopping beautiful place to see. Go for a walk all along this 500 metre long terrace beyond the River Elbe. The outlook are incredible and I say  the perfect place to grab a quick coffee and watch the world go by.
