Dresden - the Jewel Box of Germany
Over the 400 years as a residence of the royal family (between 1485 and 1918), the city of Dresden was embellished with many unique architectonic treasures, having gained nicknames as a “Jewel Box” or Elbflorenz- “Florence of the Elbe” (Dresden is developed on both sides of River Elbe).

Despite the massive destruction of the World War II bombings, Dresden managed to rebuild itself into a thriving cultural centre. With an impressive number of over 13 000 listed cultural and historic monuments, Dresden is today one of the richest, if somewhat underestimated, cultural destinations in Germany.

Apart from the historic jewels of Dresden, for example Dresden Castle, Pillnitz Castle and Zwinger Palace, the religious buildings such as Hofkirche, the Dresden Cathedral, or Dresden State Art Collection (Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden), the city developed also an interesting modern side. The Transparent Factory - a Volkswagen assembly plant, or the controversial UFA Kristalpalast Cinema are the most recognizable examples of Dresden’s modern architecture.

Dresden is also, as it has been in the past, one of the major industrial centres in Germany. To the traditional optical and food processing sectors, modern times added new branches, rapidly developing in Dresden, amongst them pharmaceutical and high-tech industries. The excellent transportation infrastructure of Dresden and the surrounding area made it an attractive location for many large companies, such as GlaxoSmithKline, Siemens and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.).
