Dresden Altstadt "old town"
The splendid residence of the Saxon electors and kings will enchant you with art, architecture, culture and night life.
discoverElbe river banks
lush and green in the heart of the city
Hotel am Blauen Wunder is located in the historic Blasewitz neighborhood of Dresden, with splendid residential buildings dating back to the 1890s interspersed with smaller modern business and office complexes. Blasewitz is one of Dresden's greenest areas, with several parks, large trees lining the broad streets, and bordering the Elbe river with its lush river banks.
Bike and foot paths along either side of the river make exercise fun - hop on a bike or go for a jog and enjoy nature in the middle of the city. Large stretches of the river bank have been left untouched or renaturalized in the past years, and are protected as a nature reserve. You may encounter beavers and storks, frogs and herons right in the capital of Saxony.
Hotel am Blauen Wunder is about 5 kilometers from the center of Dresden's old town, following the meandering riverside paths with several beer gardens on the way. Every Saturday, there is a huge flea market beneath Albertbrücke bridge, free of charge and one of the favorite local pastimes.
