Dresden hosts a variety of monuments, the most popular is the Dresdner Schloss – the residential castle erected 800 years ago that personifies Saxon culture and architecture.

Dresden hosts 37 theatres with dominating Opera Sempera. A great many events, film and music festivals take place here, like the International Dance Week, the International Medial Music Festival CYNETart, Dresden Contemporary Music Days, just to mention a few. The Dresden curiosity is Pfunds Molkerei – the dairy products shop that was entered onto the Guinness World Record Book. Unfortunately, taking pictures in the shop is impossible you have to see it with your own eyes. The city hosts the Volkswagen car factory, too.
