What it is
Across the Elbe, the Äußere Neustadt is Dresden's young quarter: streets of nineteenth-century houses with bars, small shops and street art. Its best-known corner is the Kunsthofpassage, five linked courtyards between Görlitzer Straße 25 and Alaunstraße 70, decorated by artists in 2001; in one, the drainpipes on the facade sound like instruments when it rains.
How to do it
Cross Augustus Bridge from Schlossplatz and go up Hauptstraße towards Albertplatz; from there, Alaunstraße takes you to the courtyards. Return along Bautzner Straße to go into the Pfund dairy, a shop from 1892 covered in hand-painted tiles, open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00.
Tips
- Come on a rainy day to the Kunsthofpassage The musical drainpipes only sound with water.
