    Tips

    In a broader sense, the term Königsufer often also refers to the entire Neustadt Elbe bank. The Neustadt Elbe bank is the landscaped Elbe bank zone in Dresden between the Rosengarten and the Marienbrücke and is located in the Inner Neustadt, parts of which are in the government district. It is lined with a number of remarkable buildings and works of art.

    The extensive lawns on the bank serve as a buffer zone during high water and give the Königsufer a very spacious appearance when the water level is normal. A walk there offers wonderful views of both the impressive buildings on the land side (Neustadt) and the old town backdrop on the other side of the Elbe. In many places you can get right up to the water's edge of the Elbe, the ground there consists largely of larger pebbles or earth.

      Illuminated, the skyline looks herlich. The camperplace is located directly on the banks of the Elbe, near the beer garden.

        In a broader sense, the term Königsufer often also refers to the entire Neustadt Elbe bank. Opposite it is the Terrassenufer on the Old Town side of the Elbe. The Neustadt Elbe bank is in the Inner New Town, parts of it in the government district.

                      The stairs beneath the Ministry of Finance, which were built as part of the redesign of the Königsufer in the 1930s, form the audience stands for film nights in the summer.
                      From the Königsufer you have a wonderful view of the old town panorama.

                                From its approximately 500-meter-long plateau, Brühl's Terrace offers magnificent views of the Elbe River, the Neustadt district opposite, and the baroque buildings of Dresden's Old Town, such as the Hofkirche (Court Church) and the Albertinum (Albertinum). Known as the "Balcony of Europe" because of this view, it is a popular place for strolling and relaxing.

                                In the background, the impressive buildings of the Old Town rise, including:

                                The Academy of Fine Arts / The Estates House / The Academy of Fine Arts / The Hofkirche / The Albertinum

                                On the river, you can watch the historic steamers of the "White Fleet" departing from here. Several works of art, such as the Dolphin Fountain and the Sphinxes, adorn the terrace, as does the Moritz Monument, Dresden's oldest surviving monument. It stretches between the Augustus Bridge and the Carola Bridge.

                                  Originally part of the 16th-century fortifications, it was transformed into a garden and promenade in the 18th century. The terrace is freely accessible and offers numerous benches for relaxation.
