History
Dresden’s Old Town is dominated by 18th‑century baroque reconstruction and extensive post‑war rebuilding after 1945 that restored many landmark façades.
Conservation
Stick to paved routes and avoid feeding wildlife along the Elbe; the city encourages low‑impact tourism and careful treatment of historic stonework.
