Dresden Events
Our City favorites

In a thriving city like Dresden, fantastic events, concerts and performances lure people onto the streets and in front of the city's stages almost every day. With such an impressive backdrop as the Dresden skyline, that's no wonder. In summer in particular, the Elbterrassen are transformed into a place-to-be. Summer cinema, classical concerts and modern pop music really bring the cultural city of Dresden to life.

The highlight of many people is undoubtedly the annual Dresden Striezelmarkt on the Altmarkt - not only Germany's oldest, but also probably the most beautiful Christmas market to get in the mood for the upcoming Christmas season.

If you are looking for a real classical music experience, then take a look at the program calendar of the Dresden Semperoper - an absolute recommendation for lovers of classical music, operettas or ballet when visiting Dresden. The top-class program changes again and again.

Oh, we would love to show you all the events in Dresden here, but these are some of our highlights.
