Start with cake at the Italienisches Dörfchen. This baroque pavilion is one of the most stylish places in town, featuring restaurants decorated with old paintings and furniture. It is the perfect spot to grab a sweet treat before the day begins.
10:45
Walk 8 minutes southwest to the Fürstenzug. This is the biggest porcelain painting of the world, depicting almost all Saxon princes, electors, and kings on their horses in splendid parade uniforms. It is a striking piece of public art to view in the daylight.
11:30
Head to the Großer Garten, Dresden's "green lung." This botanical garden is recommended for relaxing and sports, with rollerblades being very common. You can take a ride on a seasonal miniature train through the grounds or simply enjoy the open space.

Augustiner an der Frauenkirche
End the day with a German meal at Augustiner an der Frauenkirche. Located just 7 minutes from the landmark area, this restaurant serves Bavarian and Saxon food with beer from a famous Munich brewery. It is a comfortable place to finish your afternoon.
Local tip
The Großer Garten is easily reached by tram if you prefer not to walk the full distance from the Fürstenzug. Augustiner an der Frauenkirche is open daily from 11:00 to 24:00, so arriving by late afternoon ensures it is open.
