Meißen, Dresden: 8 reviews and 18 photos

  photogenic Meissen

Meissen is a perfect example of why the former East Germany is such a great place for exploration. Dating back as a settlement to 968 and the perfect Gothic cathedral to 1260. Its an extremely well preserved medieval city and charmingly without the number of tourists you would find in a comparable West Germany city. Since its only 27 km from Dresden, Meissen is well worth some exploration for its magnificent Gothic buildings and the wine growing region surrounding it. You can reach it by train or boat and can easily be done as a day trip. Though I've never spent the night I've seen some lovely night photos and it seems well worth it if you have the time.
