Dresden, the capital of the German federal state of Saxony, has about ten million tourists each year. The historical center of Dresden was completely destroyed in World War II, but thankfully The Zwinger, the Semper Opera and the Frauenkirche have been rebuilt.

Since 2006 in time for the city's 800 year jubilee, Dresden was restored to what it was, a large city with a pulsating centre and probably one or even the most beautiful city in Germany.
