Most tourists will come to the Elbe valley in order to see the historical center of Dresden, the valley itself, and the medieval town of MeiÃen with its world-known porcelain manufacture. While these attractions undoubtedly constitute the must-see list for the first-time visitor, there are more places to see:
Dresden architecture
is diverse and not restricted to the historical center.Medieval historical center
of Pirna is somewhat less-known yet no less interesting compared to MeiÃen.Narrow-gauge railways
in Freital and Radebeul are still operated by steam locomotives with authentic old cars. These railways are among the most easily accessible narrow-gauge railways in Germany.The Japanese-style chateau in Pillnitz is very special compared to Saxony's typical baroque palaces.
