Embark on a full-day, private excursion from Berlin that pairs the intimate lanes of Meissen’s Old Town and its famed porcelain manufactory with the monumental baroque architecture of Dresden—the Frauenkirche, the Zwinger and riverside views from the Brühlsche Terrasse—before returning to your Berlin hotel at day’s end.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE HERITAGE

Meissen Porcelain and Old Town

Begin the day in Meissen: stroll the compact Old Town and visit the Meissen porcelain manufactory, learning why the town’s ceramics have drawn attention for centuries.

THE ARCHITECTURE

Dresden’s Baroque Core

After lunch, explore Dresden’s Old Town—the reconstructed Frauenkirche, the Zwinger complex, the Elbe waterfront and the panoramic sweep from the Brühlsche Terrasse provide the day’s most iconic sights.

THE JOURNEY

A Relaxed, Door-to-Door Rhythm

The itinerary is paced as a single, unhurried day: your driver/guide collects you in Berlin, handles the driving between towns and returns you to your hotel after the day’s visits.
