Day Trip to Dresden
Starting from: €49,00
Join us for a fascinating day trip with a private bus to Dresden - the royal residence of the Saxon Kings, who established a city of such cultural and artistic splendour it was named "The Pearl of the Baroque" and is considered one of Germany's most beautiful cities.
Dresden is also widely known for the devastating and controversial Allied bombing campaign. US and Royal Air Force bombers dropped 3,900 tons of high-explosive and incendiary bombs over 3 days in February 1945, destroying 13 square miles of the city. It caused a firestorm of such intensity many of the estimated 40,000 civilian casualties died of asphyxiation. American Kurt Vonnegut, who was a POW in Dresden during the firebombing, later memorialised the event in his novel Slaughterhouse-Five.
