Long before Dresden even became a city, everything started in Meissen. That’s why the town was dubbed “The Cradle of Saxony”. So we will start with an extensive walking tour through the old town of Meissen.
Meissen is a very ancient old town with narrow alleys and enchanting buildings from medieval and renaissance times. On a walk through Meissen you would think that time has stood still. This historic treasure is nestled up against the steep castle hill with the imposing gothic cathedral over the wide curve of the river Elbe. From up there you have a unique view over the scenic landscape with vineyards, the river and a maze of red roofed burgher houses. Enthroned above it all are the cathedral and the Albrechtsburg. It is regarded as being the first castle to be used as a royal residence in the German-speaking world.
Here Europe’s first porcelain manufactory was founded. We will visit its present site after a short walk of 20 minutes, or be comfortably go by bus.
A short individual snack break is possible during the walking tour or during the visit of the porcelain manufactory, where you can eat from real Meissen porcelain plates.
At the Porcelain Manufactory we will arrange the visit and a guided tour through the Demonstration Workshops. There you can watch how Meissen porcelain is made, formed and decorated. The Demonstration Workshops offer unique insights into the artisanal techniques employed by Meissen’s craftsmen and -women to create its delicate porcelain
After the visit of the manufactory we drive back to Dresden.
