Dresden: Culture and history for the whole family
This family's experience:

Activities: We looked at the Residenzschloss, especially the Pferdebadewanne (horse bathtub). We saw the Fürstenzug, the procession of Wettin rulers, on the exterior

Highlights: The Jungs (boys) were fascinated by the Pferdebadewanne. We enjoyed learning about the 35 rulers from the House of Wettin ✨
