In Pictures: Dresden, Germany

Once known as “Florence of Elbe”, Dresden is regarded one of the most beautiful cities in the Europe. With its scenic setting alongside the Elbe River, Dresden represents the magic of Medieval Europe. The city boosts of iconic buildings such as the Zwinger and the Frauenkirche. The entire city was reconstructed again after being bombed during World War II raids.

Passed through Dresden on my way to Tharandt, my Grandfathers hometown. Should’ve spent more time in Dresden.

Just gives me a reason to go back.
