Sightseeing Tours:

Dresden is very popular among tourists. But you don´t need to invest a bunch of money for a tour guide as we offer you a free tour. The AltstadtTour takes place in the most touristy part of Dresden. There you will see famous buildings as Frauenkirche and Semperoper. The Neustadt neighborhood is more trendy and artsy and way different than the Altstadt.

ESE-Wanderung (ESE hiking tour): Saturday, 18.10.14
