These are some of the worst photos you can show of Dresden.

Try some image search instead. It’s called „the Florence of the Elbe river“ for good reason. There are almost no big cities in Germany today that are comparatively beautiful (Münster maybe, but it’s smaller). Some impressive art has been collected there.

This is geek‡ tourism, which doesn’t follow the typical expectations for tourist photos. My idea of fun is visiting a sewage treatment plant: preferably shown around by an engineer that is excited by it all and shows you the wet wear.

At the end of the article the writer says “let’s not forget that Dresden is also one of Germany’s biggest attractions with a beautifully renovated city center and surroundings which are a sight to behold. Vineyards line the River Elbe, the porcelain town of Meissen and the Saxon Switzerland National Park.”

‡ using the meaning of geek from last century, not the modern pop culture version.

Edited: minor changes.

It looks like a business park in $anywhere. Could be Rotterdam, Liverpool. …
Yo. But a bizpark with signs reading: 'Vee arr hiring!' Not so common, these days.
