A sweep of low mountain ranges and diverse river valleys wedged between the Weser river in the west and Poland in the east, the region of Greater Saxony offers myriad sights. In addition to other-worldly rock formations, endlessly romantic parks, iconic architecture, auto-themed amusement parks, centuries-old half-timber houses, and legend-shrouded mountain peaks, there is much, much more. Every visit to the region should include a stop in Germany’s eastern most city: Dresden. Stunning “Florence on the Elbe” boasts a magnificent baroque skyline and an extravagant collection of jewels, baubles, and porcelain that add glint and glimmer in the city’s many museums.
