The Florence of Germany


Yesterday I was in Dresden (I read somewhere that it was the Florence of Germany). Indeed, it was very pretty. There is a river running through the town and the town is divided into an older part and a newer part. We mainly stayed in the older part and explored the gallery and museums housed in the Zwinger Palace. In the gallery, I saw works of Raffael, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Van Eyck, Rubens, Vermeer, and Durer among others. We also spent sometime looking at the armory and porcelain collections.

The weather was so unbearably hot! I think I was delirious for a good part of the time when we were walking. It was fun and I would definitely recommend it as a place to visit if you're ever in Berlin for a while (it's only 2 hours away by train)!
