Palaisgarten

Palaisgarten is a park between Marienbrücke Bridge, the Japanese Palace, and the Elbe riverbank that stretches to Palaisplatz Square, with green spaces and landscape features throughout. It connects different areas and offers varied zones for walking and spending time.

It began in 1715 as a Baroque garden for a court official and developed alongside the neighboring palace. The space has shaped the character of this neighborhood and connects to the city's architectural history.

The park regularly hosts events and concerts that draw people from the city together and turn it into a gathering place for shared experiences. It serves as a stage for cultural activities where visitors can enjoy art and music in a relaxed setting.

The park is easy to reach on foot and offers safe paths for exploring different areas. Visitors should note that some paths can be uneven and suitable footwear is helpful.

Parts of the old Dresden fortification walls remain visible in the park, providing a direct link to the city's defense history. These remains give a sense of how the city once was bordered and developed over centuries.
