The experience

Explore Dresden's historic opera house and take a guided Old Town tour

The Zwinger, Brühl's Terrace, and Dresden Castle – you'll see them all with this expertly led look around the city's Old Town.

The highlight of this 2.5-hour tour has been burned, bombed, and flooded over the years, but you still won't find a more beautiful building in all of Dresden than the Semperoper.

The indomitable Baroque opera house is a key part of the city's cultural identity, and you can get to know this Elbe-side jewel with an insightful guided tour in German.
