Dresden

Dresden is the capital and with about half a million inhabitants one of the major cities of Saxony, a federal state of Germany. Dresden is situated between Berlin and Prague just north of the border between Germany and the Czech Republic, in the valley of the Elbe river. Dresden is famous for its cultural and architectural wealth, much of which was reconstructed only recently after near-total destruction during World War II. Dresden's location adjacent to picturesque countrysides also attracts many visitors.
