Christmas magic in
the Dresden Elbland region
Anyone who likes Christmas will love Dresden. Eleven very distinct
Christmas markets make the metropolis on the Elbe a veritable Christmas
city. Christmas in Dresden – that also means festive church concerts,
fairy tale readings and special exhibitions. Or how about a night lights
cruise on the Elbe? Just as the river itself connects historic city-centre
areas with gorgeous landscapes, so the Christmas period combines the
many different activities across the entire Dresden Elbland region into
one spellbinding attraction.
