Dresden, known as the "Florence on the Elbe," is recognized for its rich history, Baroque architecture, and cultural landmarks. The city, which was heavily damaged during WWII, has been meticulously restored and reclaimed its status as a major European cultural center. It is situated along the Elbe River and features a range of restored buildings and museums that reflect its historical significance. The Frauenkirche is one of Dresden’s most important landmarks. Originally completed in 1743, it was destroyed in the bombing raids of World War II and rebuilt in 2005. The church's dome offers panoramic views of the city, and its interior is known for frescoes and detailed woodwork. Dresden’s Christmas Market, also known as the Striezelmarkt, dates back to 1434. Held in the Altmarkt Square, it features traditional food stalls offering items like Stollen (Christmas cake), roasted almonds, and sausages, as well as handmade crafts and ornaments. The market's centerpiece is the large Christmas pyramid.
