A few steps from the waterfront in Dresden’s historic centre. Snapped back in September 2016.

Dresden’s cathedral was wrecked during the Second World War and remained a pile of ruin for decades. It re-opened to the public in 2005 after years of painstaking restoration. Here’s the scene outside the landmark in September 2016, its adjacent public square buzzing with activity.

Looking toward the old quarter from outside Dresden’s opera house. This view was snapped during my quick swing through the city last year.

Äussere Neustadt in Dresden is a hive of fun places to eat and hang out.
It’s also filled with quirky, imaginative street art.
The neighbourhood is just a short tram ride (or a nice, long stroll) across the Elbe River, north of the old, restored city centre.

To my layman’s eyes, the glass dome of the arts school in Dresden looks like a lemon juicer. I’m sure I’ll be forgiven for my active imagination … because I later learned locals call this structure the “lemon squeezer!”

This is a lovely detour off the Georgenbau city gate on the way to the Neumarkt square. Not exactly off the beaten path, but a lot less crowded and a bit more visually interesting. Snapped this view on a visit back in September.
