Semper Opera House

Located on Theaterplatz Square, the Semper Opera House is one of Dresden’s most famous landmarks. Its history has been a complicated one. After the first Semper Opera was destroyed by fire in 1869, residents urged King Friedrich August II to put architect Gottfried Semper in charge of rebuilding it. He agreed, though he was in exile at the time because of his part in the Dresden Revolution of May 1849. He sent his son, Manfred, to oversee the project, and the new building opened in February 1878, also to Semper’s design.

Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden usher in the new year with a sparkling program of light music from operetta. Included are spirited duets from the composer Emmerich Kalman, a contemporary of Franz Lehar.

Residence Palace

The Residence Palace is a beautiful Renaissance palace that houses several museums with incredible collections of treasures. Its green vault is one of the most stunning features. It is located in the city center, close to Zwinger and Frauenkirche.

After a year of hiatus, the Palace Residency is back with a bare-bones framework that focuses on collaborative practices and creating ambitious cross-disciplinary works. Participants are asked to contribute by running workshops, leading projects, sharing skills, performing, and supporting on-site production.

The Carabinierisaal and Rittersaal halls are decorated with paintings, including J. M. Rottmayr’s depictions of the taming of the horse Bukephalos by Alexander the Great. The rooms were used for official receptions and theatre. They also house plastic allegories and armour trophies. The halls are open to the public.

August der Starke flying service

The August der Starke flying service offers sightseeing flights at Dresden Airport. Visitors can experience the special atmosphere of the airport and observe take-offs, landings, and apron movements from an observation platform.

You can hop-on and off at 22 stops to get a closer look at the city’s architectural, historical and cultural highlights. The day ticket includes a city tour for children.

The National Unity Association was a 19th-century African Canadian group that promoted freedom and equality. It is credited with promoting the rights of blacks in Ontario and helped to launch Canada’s civil rights movement. 2 ed., p. 177. The Chatham-Kent Museum and Archives has a plaque in honour of Hugh Burnett, president of the National Unity Association, at Uncle Tom’s Cabin Historic Site in Chatham, Ontario.

Panometer Dresden

One of the highlights of any trip to Dresden is a visit to the Panometer. This unique 360deg panorama combines the opulence of Baroque Dresden with its everyday life. The king and his entourage, famous artists, ordinary citizens, and historically significant scenes are woven into a single picture.

This exhibition venue, a former gas holder built in 1880, serves as an example of how industrial monuments can be used sustainably today. It also shows how art and architecture can be combined to create a successful overall concept.

With the DRESDEN 1945 panorama, artist Yadegar Asisi draws attention to the fatal interdependencies of war. Construction and destruction, splendour and demise, high culture and human abysses are global mechanisms that shape history. This is reflected in the apocalyptic scene of the destroyed city.

Escape Rooms

Escape Rooms, also known as Exit Games, have become increasingly popular around the world. They are a great way to have some fun with friends or coworkers. They involve being locked in a room and trying to solve a series of puzzles. They are a fun and exciting activity that requires teamwork.

The rooms vary from prisons to journalists' offices, but all of them have a unique story. Assemble a group of friends or colleagues to work together and try to find your way out of the room before time runs out.

Everyone was super nice! But it's really hard to find! The lady who answers the phone doesn't work there and is impossible to hear. They really need to fix this!

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Nice

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
