Continue our journey with a leisure stop in the centre of Germany - Dresden, the former capital of Saxony, also known as “Florence of the Elbe”. Badly damaged by the allied bombing in February 1945, the city has since been restored to its baroque splendid. The artistic and architecture heritage of the Zwinger Palace and the Semper Opera House, where Wagner’s “Flying Dutchman” first performed, is a highlight for many visitors. Thereafter, make photo stops at the Frauenkirche and the Saxon Wall, made of thousands of Meissen tiles. Continue on to the capital of Germany and hosting country of World Cup 2006, Berlin.
Begin our tour in this once divided German capital at the elegant Ku'damm with the bomb damaged tower of Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church.
