Dresden, located in the East of Germany, is also called "Florence at the Elbe" thanks to its idyllic location on the banks of the river, its excellent examples of Baroque architecture, and world-class museums.

It has since developed into a modern city, the attraction of which is based in equal measure on its many artistic and cultural treasures as well as on its progressive and broad-based scientific and industrial prowess.
