Pick up a cake and coffee at the Italian Village. The baroque pavilions offer a quiet, stylish spot to settle in before the crowds arrive. The prices are reasonable for the setting, and the pastries are a local favorite.
15:56
Walk the five minutes to the Fürstenzug. Stand back from the wall to take in the full scale of the world's largest porcelain painting. At sunset, the western light catches the glazed tiles, bringing the procession of Saxon rulers to life against the darkening sky.

Watzke Brauereiausschank am Goldenen Reiter
Head to Watzke Brauereiausschank am Goldenen Reiter for dinner. This regional restaurant is the perfect place to taste authentic Saxon cuisine and their own-brewed beer. It is a great spot to warm up after the evening chill.

Grand Café & Restaurant Coselpalais
