What it is
The Brühl Terrace is a raised promenade above the Elbe, on the old town's rampart, called the balcony of Europe: on one side, the river and the boats; on the other, the art academy and the Frauenkirche behind. A step away, on the wall of the Royal Palace's stable courtyard, on Augustusstraße, is the Fürstenzug, the Procession of Princes: a very long mural of Meissen porcelain tiles showing the rulers of Saxony on horseback.
How to do it
Climb to the terrace by the steps at Schlossplatz, next to the cathedral, and walk east. Return along Augustusstraße to see the procession from end to end. It is free and always open.
Tips
- Come at sunset The light on the river and the Neustadt on the other side is Dresden's classic photo.
