The Dresden Residence Palace, once the seat of electors and kings, was extensively restored after its destruction in 1945 and now shines in its former glory. As part of the State Art Collections, it houses important exhibitions such as the Green Vault, the Armory and the Coin Cabinet, while the Hausmann Tower offers an impressive view of the city.

You can find more information and opening times here: skd.museum/besuch/residenzschloss.

Hiking

Again very nicely restored and inside some museums have found a new home.
TIP: Book in advance on the Internet time slot cards and you do not have to queue. Works great!

Hiking

Several museums are now housed in the castle, including the historical and green vaults. It is advisable to look around for tickets in good time. A visit is definitely worth it.
