DAY
1: UK to Antwerp To Belgium for our overnight stay. |
DAY 6:
Dresden A morning optional guided tour is available of this rebuilt city packed with historical buildings and classical architecture and known as the ‘Baroque Florence’. Not to be missed are the Zwinger Palace, the Semper Opera House and the Residenzschloss, close to the banks of the River Elbe. Much of the city was damaged by bombs during Word War II, but meticulous restoration has resulted in the wonderful city you see today, the jewel of which is the Church of Our Lady, which lay in rubble for 45 years, but whose huge dome now once again dominates the city’s skyline, acting as a symbol for peace and international co-operation.
