Excursions

Palaces, porcelain and vineyards — the finest day-trip destinations around Dresden, all easily reached from our hotel.

Welcome to your excursions

Discover Saxony — from the hotel

Around Dresden, the Saxon Elbland awaits with palaces, manufactories and vineyards. From our hotel right on the Elbe you can reach the finest destinations in next to no time — by car, S-Bahn, historic narrow-gauge railway or, in true style, by historic paddle steamer.

We’ve put together four favourite destinations for you: the „Weißes Gold“ (‘White Gold’) in Meissen, wine & sparkling wine at Schloss Wackerbarth, the fairy-tale Schloss Moritzburg and the royal summer residence Schloss Pillnitz.

We’re happy to advise you at reception on travel, tickets and opening times — and to plan your day out entirely to your wishes.

Tip: several destinations combine well — Wackerbarth, Moritzburg and Meissen all lie in the same Elbland north of Dresden.

Putten-Reihe der Manufaktur Meissen: vom klassischen weißen Porzellanputto bis zur vergoldeten Tattoo-Variante

Meissen — Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (State Porcelain Manufactory)

Porcelain & old townapprox. 30 min from the hotel

Europe’s „Weißes Gold“ (‘White Gold’) up close: in the show workshop you’ll see step by step how a work of art is created from kaolin by hand — and discover the full variety of Europe’s oldest porcelain manufactory in the showroom. Plus the Albrechtsburg and a romantic old town.

Symmetrical garden axis at Schloss Wackerbarth: two rows of imposing cone-shaped yews flank a broad stone staircase, drawing the eye directly towards the baroque Belvedere with its clock and cupola. In the background, vineyard terraces rise steeply beneath a blue summer sky – one of the most iconic views of the Saxon State Winery.

Radebeul — Schloss Wackerbarth

Wine & sparkling wineapprox. 25 min from the hotel

Europe’s first experience winery, set among vineyards and Baroque elegance: a tour of the glass-walled manufactory, the view from the Belvedere over the vines to the Elbe, and a tasting of Saxon wines and sparkling wines to finish.

Frontansicht von Schloss Moritzburg vom Schlossteich: barockes Jagdschloss mit gelber Fassade, vier Kuppeltürmen und Spiegelung im Wasser

Schloss Moritzburg

Baroque palace & Cinderellaapprox. 30 min from the hotel

The Baroque hunting lodge on its island in the lake — with the world-famous Federzimmer (Feather Room) and as the original filming location of „Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel“ (‘Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella’). Four round towers, a warm-yellow façade mirrored in the water and a spacious park: a fairy tale for the whole family.

Prachtvolle Lindenallee im Schlosspark Pillnitz mit perfekter Zentralperspektive: Der breite Kiesweg führt schnurgerade auf das barocke Bergpalais zu, dessen zartrosa Fassade mit Säulenportikus, Rundbogenfenstern und blauem Mansarddach den Fluchtpunkt der Komposition bildet. Die mächtigen Lindenstämme beider Seiten spannen ein natürliches Blätterdach über die Achse – ein klassisches Bild barocker Gartenkunst und höfischer Repräsentation.

Schloss & Park Pillnitz

Palace & gardenapprox. 25 min from the hotel

The summer residence of the Saxon kings between the Elbe and the vineyards: Baroque chinoiserie, magnolias in bloom in spring, Dresden’s only Classical domed hall — and, especially atmospheric, arriving by historic Elbe paddle steamer.
