Sunny days in Dresden

Last time I was in Dresden (well, not the last time because I was there in the suburbs once and at the train station for a few hours another time but my last proper visit) was in December to see the Christmas markets. Where once was cold and dark, now is hot and sunny. What a difference, from walking bundled up in the rain and snow to wearing shorts and a t-shirt and relaxing on the grass. From drinking glühwein in a parka to drinking white wine on the bank of the Elbe, there’s no bad way to enjoy Dresden.

Breaking through the walls

A cute cafe in Kunsthoffpassage, where the rain house is. I remember stopping here in December, sans outdoor tables of course.

There is a famous Canaletto painting of Dresden which they have commemorated with a metal frame so you know exactly where to stand to get the right view. Even though it’s not exactly the same angle. Or maybe he was a really bad painter. Who knows.
