The Semper Opera is the opera house of the Saxon State Opera. The architect Gottfried Semper first built a theater on this site, but it fell to ashes in 1869. Semper then designed an opera house in its place. The Semper Opera House has a long history of world premieres, including major works by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.

The Zwinger is a complex of Baroque buildings with a garden in the Old Town of Saxon Dresden. It is one of the most significant construction works from the Baroque period in Germany. Next to the Frauenkirche, the Zwinger is the city's most famous landmark. Originally, it was supposed to be the courtyard of a magnificent castle, but it was never built.

5.00Our amazing tour guide made Dresden an easy city to navigate, and he found things we never would have found on our own. He customized the tour based on our particular requests, which we really appreciated. I am in my sixties, so I prefer a relaxed trip, and he provided that, never rushing us. I heartily recommend. Dresden is a very historical city. Most of the buildings are close to each other, so there are many narrow, winding streets. Due to the compact nature of the center, it's not a long walk to get to the places you want to see.
