What to expect

Discover Dresden by the flickering of the lantern light on a guided night watchman tour.

With nightfall, the night watchman's hour sleeps and the light of his lantern pierces the darkness. His horn sounds in the maze of narrow streets and he protects citizens from robbers and riffraff.

Start the tour with a nightcap and then walk through Dresden with your guide dressed as a night watchman. Listen to scary stories and spicy anecdotes at the blue hour and learn more about the history of the historic Old Town. Admire Dresden's numerous sights. Walk across the Theaterplatz and admire the famous Semper Opera House. See the Zwinger and learn more about the building and its gardens. Pass the Fürstenzug and continue to the Dresden Residenzschloss and the Brühlsche Terrasse. Lastly, learn more about the Neumarkt with the Frauenkirche.
