Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Step into Germany’s oldest Christmas market on the Altmarkt, crowned by its towering multi‑tier wooden pyramid and over two centuries of Saxon holiday craft tradition.
Soak up aromas of Dresden Christstollen and mulled wine as your guide highlights the best artisan stalls and the evening plan around the market’s 10:00–21:00 hours.

Stop 2

At the Frauenkirche, hear the moving story of destruction and meticulous reconstruction using numbered original stones, a living symbol of faith and reconciliation.
Interior access varies with services; the guide checks “Open Church” times so photography and quiet reflection fit smoothly into the evening’s flow.

Shift to the intimate Neumarkt market beside the Frauenkirche, prized for evening‑friendly hours, artisan wares, and a relaxed ambiance away from Altmarkt crowds.
This is the moment for meaningful vendor conversations, heirloom‑quality gifts, and cozy seasonal treats framed by the church’s illuminated baroque dome.

Stop 4

A short stroll to Theaterplatz reveals the Semperoper and baroque façades glowing at blue hour, ideal for elegant night photography and a cultural breather.
The square’s composition showcases Dresden’s musical and royal heritage while keeping walking minimal before the final return to Altmarkt.

Stop 5

Return to Striezelmarkt for last gifts and a festive toast—try Feuerzangenbowle—timed just before the market’s typical 21:00 closing on standard days.
Your guide assists with VAT forms, packing fragile ornaments, and shipping options so purchases travel as safely as the memories they represent.
