    Bautzner Tor

    Probably the last GDR-era dive in Dresden to survive ungentrified, this dimly lit but strangely atmospheric museum piece is a nostalgic blast from the past. Food is definitely wallet-friendly and the excellent beer (cheapest in town) is brewed locally by a guy called Lenin.

    Combo

    Laid-back to the point of toppling, this '70s-retro cafe has enormous windows that fold back when the heat is on, 1960s airport furniture and cool dudes serving the party people. DJs take over after dark.

    Karl May Bar

    If you came to Dresden to relax in sophisticated, dark wood and red leather club surroundings, do it here. The Wild West murals were inspired by the books of Karl May.

    Sächsische Staatsoper

    Dresden is synonymous with opera, and performances at the spectacular Semperoper are brilliant. Tickets are hard to obtain, so plan well ahead or queue for returns.

  5. Schauspielhaus

    Altstadt (Theaterstrasse 2); Neustadt (Glacisstrasse 28). The renowned Staatsschauspiel ensemble plays mostly crowd-pleasers by German playwrights in two venues.

    Stadtoase

    Dump 150 tonnes of sand on the banks of the Elbe, erect a bar and beach volleyball court, and invite the city to party all summer long. Yep, that's Stadtoase.
