The location of your apartment in Dresden

Living like kings at the former Herzogin Garten [The Duchess Garden] is probably best to describe the spirit of life in Residenz am Zwinger.

Der Herzogin Garten, formerly also called Kurfürstlicher Pomerenzgarten [Elector’s Pleasure Gardens] was planted under the Elector Christian I in the years from 1591 to 1592 as a pleasure garden as a gift to his wife, the Elector Sophie. Figs and oranges are said to have been grown in this garden, as well as a variety of plants and flowers. The garden’s name is derived from the Duchess Sophie of Saxony. Opposite the Residenz am Zwinger, the world-famous Bailey of Dresdner is located and its bailey pond that borders on the Semperoper on the other side.

Enjoy modern living on royal grounds at the historical centre of Dresden.

The vicinity is beckoning: Sights to see outside of Dresden’s city limits

Dresden is situated in an impressive cultural landscape. The Elbe River connects our city to many further highlights:

  • The Saxony State Vineyard at Wackerbarth Castle in Radebeul attracts wine and sparkling wine lovers to exciting temptations and tastings (distance from Residenz am Zwinger: about 12 km).
  • World-famous for its porcelain, located in the midst of the Saxon wine-growing region, with romantic historic district alleys and its hill with the castle and cathedral: this is Meißen. The town is just 25 km away from Dresden and invites to a half-day trip.
  • Hiking enjoyment with great vistas: You can reach the Elbe Sandstone Mountains (also called Saxon Switzerland) by express subway or car in about one hour (depending on the destination). Be it discoveries at the Königstein fortress, a trip to the Bastei natural stone arch bridge or a hike to the peak leading through wildly romantic valleys – you should not miss out on this scenery!
  • Active on two wheels: From Dresden, the Elbe bike path, Germany’s most popular bike trail running along a river, leads down the Elbe on a well-developed route to Meißen or up the Elbe in the direction of Saxon Switzerland – past Pillnitz Castle and the historical town of Pirna.
