#1 Take a Stroll Along the Elbe River<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the most charming and photogenic places to visit in Dresden is none other than the Elbe River itself. Walk along it until you find yourself at the point where the Old Town meets the river, aka Br\u00fchl\u2019s Terrace, also known as \u201cThe Balcony of Europe\u201d. The terrace is named after Count Heinrich von Br\u00fchl who was an adviser and dear friend of the King of Saxony, Augustus III. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
