What to expect
The Zwinger in Dresden is a historical area that was originally designed as a defensive feature, with a lower outer wall and a main curtain wall. It was intended to trap attackers and make them an easy target for defenders. Over time, its defensive function became superfluous, and it was converted into a palace or schloss. Today, the Zwinger is a popular tourist destination, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and architectural heritage. Visitors can explore the area and learn about its development and significance in the context of medieval fortifications
