Dresden, the capitol of Saxony, lies in the upper Elbe valley. The City has been favoured over the centuries not only by its beautiful settings but also due to its agreeable climate and its situation on important trade routes. Also today it is only 152km (95miles) to Prague, one of the main cultural centers within Europe and only 193km (120miles) to Berlin. Around Dresden there are many touristic attractions like the Ore Mountains or Saxon Switzerland. Moritzburg, a electoral hunting palace of king August the Strong, is only 14km (8 miles) away as well as Pillnitz, the Pleasure Palace and Park, which can be also reached by water. Meissen is close by (29km, 18miles), famed for its porcelain manufacture and its history going back more than a thousand years, as is
Pirna, located about 26km (16miles) east of Dresden, with its old town preserving numbers of handsome Late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings.
