“Thanks again”

Thanks so much for the tip. We will definitely look for Wackerbarth! so looking forward to Dresden and Prague as well. Again!

Thank you so much for all the great information! It was very kind of you to take the time to share such informative response! Even though the weather may be quite cool in mid March, we can’t wait to get out and explore many of the sites you suggested, Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the advice! Sounds solid and we will stay and explore Dresden. We will be there on a Wednesday, so based on your guidance all should be open. If you have time, could you comment or recommend sites or shopping areas we should try to check out. Viking’s included AM tour says : Witness the baroque beauty of Dresden by motor coach and by foot after 50 years of restoration. Begin with a panoramic drive to the Neustadt district on the bank of the Elbe to admire beautiful 19th-century residences and cultural institutions. Then, visit the Grünes Gewölbe, the Green Vault museum that houses what many claim is the largest collection of treasures in the world, including priceless jewels and emeralds. Afterward, take a stroll among splendid architectural wonders. Marvel at the magnificent Semper Opera House, with its several graceful stories, and see the spectacular Zwinger Palace, a rococo-style complex that was once an exhibition court for royalty. Today, it houses several museums. Any comments or information/suggestions on afternoon activities would be most appreciated ! A sincere thank you for your time and expertise!

Wife and I are taking a Viking cruise of the Elbe mid March of this year and was checking if anyone had any thoughts on the following. We have one day scheduled in Dresden. Viking offers an included AM tour of Dresden and offers an optional tour( full day) of Dresden and the Elbe valley. Since we are only in Dresden for one day, would it be best to stick with the included AM tour and then further explore the city on our own in the afternoon or take the optional tour with much of the day spent exploring the valley outside of Dresden. Thank you for any thoughts anyone might have. ( P.S. Optional tour says it includes, visit to “Saxon baroque castle”, Radebeul (observatory), Wackerbarth Castle.
