Dresden is especially magical during the weeks before Christmas. Its historic Old Town fills with festive lights, decorated streets, traditional wooden stalls, seasonal food, hot drinks, local crafts, and generations of Christmas tradition.
Before diving into the festive heart of the city, enjoy panoramic winter views from Bastei Bridge in Saxon Switzerland.
With around 4 miles (6 km) of walking split into two relaxed sections, this tour is ideal for families, couples, and travelers looking for an easy winter day filled with Christmas atmosphere, beautiful scenery, history, and great food.
Along the way, your local guide will introduce you to the history, culture, and landscape of Saxony before your day takes you from dramatic sandstone scenery to the festive streets of Dresden.
Winter gives Bastei a completely different atmosphere - quieter trails, crisp air, dramatic rock formations, and beautiful views across the Elbe Canyon. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and capture some memorable photos before continuing to Dresden.
Lunch is à la carte, so you can choose your own main course directly from the restaurant menu rather than receiving a fixed group meal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and we’re happy to accommodate other dietary requirements.
A small snack pack and water are also included for the day.
Your guide will introduce you to the city and its history before giving you time to immerse yourself in its traditional Christmas atmosphere.
