The Dresden City Guides deal with the questions every visitor has: where to eat Sauerbraten without paying for a costume show, how to fit the Grünes Gewölbe, the Zwinger and the Frauenkirche into one day, which Neustadt courtyards fill up after dark and which castles and vineyards are an easy train ride away. Each guide is a short list with an opinion: why a place is worth it, what to order or look at and one useful tip, ready in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three picks from the guides
Planwirtschaft
Louisenstraße 20, Neustadt
Cellar rooms, a long drinks menu and hearty east German cooking such as schnitzel and farmer’s breakfast, with a decent vegetarian schnitzel too. A Neustadt fixture for a filling dinner. From the food guide.
Fürstenzug
Augustusstraße, Stallhof wall
A 102-metre parade of Saxon rulers on 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles that came through the bombing intact. Walk it slowly from left to right and read the dates. Free, at any hour. From the things to do guide.
Moritzburg Castle
Moritzburg, about 40 minutes from Dresden
A baroque hunting lodge rising from the middle of a lake, known to many from the fairy-tale film Three Wishes for Cinderella. Every winter the castle puts on a Cinderella exhibition. From the day trips guide.
Finish the game, keep exploring
World City Trail’s Dresden scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the old town. When the game is over, the guides take it from there: a slice of Eierschecke in a café, a beer in a Neustadt courtyard, the S-Bahn to Meissen or a free walk along the Elbe meadows.
