Architecture sights in Dresden

  1. A

    Kunsthofpassage

    A highlight of Neustadt is the Kunsthofpassage, a series of five whimsically designed courtyards each reflecting the vision of a different Dresden artist. Our favourites are the Hof der Tiere (Court of Animals), presided over by a giant giraffe, and the Hof der Elemente (Court of Elements) with its neat sculpture of steel pipes and funnels.

  2. B

    Gläserne Manufaktur

    The Gläserne Manufaktur is Volkswagen’s stunning transparent car factory. This ambitious, impossibly stylish glass building was a huge prestige project for the long-running automobile company, and has become an unusual and distinctive feature of the city scene.

    Fürstenzug

    The 102m-long Fürstenzug mural is depicted on the façade of the former Stallhof (royal stables). The scene, a long row of royalty on horses, was first painted in 1876 by Wullhelm Walther and then transferred to some 24,000 Meissen porcelain tiles in 1904.
