Our big Trabi tour of Dresden starts at the listed Simmel-Center (Turnerweg/Antonstraße 2A, 01097 Dresden) and heads towards the exhibition centre and the Old Slaughterhouse. Passing the former Yenidze cigarette factory, the Congress Centre and the Erlweinspeicher, the convoy rattles through Dresden's Old Town to Theaterplatz, where you will discover historic buildings such as the Taschenbergpalais, the Semperoper and the Residenzschloss.
At Terrassenufer, you’ll cross the Augustus Bridge, pass by the Brühl’s Terrace and see the historic Procession of Princes. Passing the Palais Curland and the “Golden Town Hall Man,” you will come across the Großer Garten and the glass-walled VW Manufaktur along the way. The Trabi tour takes you over the Albert Bridge through the inner and outer parts of the New Town and into the Prussian Quarter. Here, you will make your first stop at Lingner Castle – including a panorama of the Elbe Valley.
Following in the footsteps of the writers Friedrich Schiller and Theodor Körner, you will continue to the historic village centre of Loschwitz with its famous Dresden funiculars, crossing the Blue Wonder bridge on your way to Schillerplatz.
The next stop, at Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer, offers not only fantastic views of the Elbe palaces and Dinglinger's vineyards, but also another opportunity to change drivers. The convoy rattles on over the Waldschlößchen Bridge to Pfunds Dairy, known as the “most beautiful milk shop in the world.” For the final stretch, you'll drive through the alternative artists' quarter and the outer quarter of the new town.
After about 2.5 hours, the convoy will arrive back at the Simmel Centre in the Erich Kästner district. Here, you can continue your sightseeing tour, for example, with a guided city tour on foot.
