Dresden has many monuments that show centuries of history. The heart of the city has baroque churches like the Frauenkirche, rebuilt stone by stone after the war. There are fancy palaces such as the Zwinger, with its collections of porcelain and old paintings. You also find cultural places like the Semperoper, where operas and concerts have been played since the middle of the 1800s. The Brühl promenade runs along the Elbe river, giving a peaceful view of the river and the old town. Beyond the main sites, the city keeps quieter spots. The Hygiene Museum shows exhibits about the human body in a building from the thirties. The Albertinum has modern and contemporary art. A few miles from the center, Moritzburg Castle reflects in the water of its moat and is surrounded by forests. In the city, places like Kunsthofpassage or old shops like Pfunds Dairy remind you of everyday life from long ago. It all makes a walk with a mix of big monuments and small details.
