Marvel at iconic architecture in the city once called the Florence of Germany on this self-guided audio tour. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Dresden. Dresden's beauty has been revived, and visitors find themselves, once again, enthralled by the impressive architecture that spans several centuries. On this tour, I’ll show you the most stunning buildings and monuments and tell you about the Old Town’s dramatic history. You’ll walk through Zwinger Park and pass by the Royal Palace where August the Strong lived. On the way, I’ll tell you about his mistress, the unlucky Countess of Cosel, and how she lived happily in exile. As you make your way towards Neumarkt Square, you’ll see one of the best-preserved courts where jousting tournaments were held, the Old Town’s former Jewish centre, and the Frauenkirche, a very imposing baroque church that was destroyed during World War II but re-emerged out of the rubble in 2005.

Third Reich Tour in Dresden provides an insight to how the Nazis came to power and sustained it to the bitter end against the backdrop of events in Dresden. As the capital of the richest and most densely populated region of Germany at that time, and one of the cultural centres of the Reich, Dresden was in the centre of attention of the regime. Since the tour also covers the major landmarks of the historic city of Dresden it can be the perfect choice for those who who want to see the city centre, but also have an interest in this special topic. The tour is led by a local guide who is not of German origin. This made her ask questions and dig deep in order to understand the events that took place in this turbulent time. The tour content arose out of these years of personal enquiry and interest in the subject. As this is a private tour, it can be customized and personalized according to your wishes.

Follow the route on your phone as it narrates a city bombed to ash in the last winter of the war, then rebuilt from its own rubble and from old paintings. See the Frauenkirche pieced back together from its scorched original stones. Meet the ruler whose heart, they say, still beats when a beautiful woman passes. Uncover the Green Vault heist that stunned the world. There is no guide to keep pace with and no fixed departure. This Dresden audio tour runs offline, pausing and resuming whenever you want.
