4. Dresden
Dresden sits in a wide, gentle bend of the Elbe, with the hills of Saxon Switzerland to the south-east and the vineyards of the Elbe valley to the north-west. For two centuries it was the showpiece of the Saxon electors, above all Augustus the Strong, who turned it into a Baroque capital of palaces, galleries and festivals, so that the city was known as Florence on the Elbe. The Zwinger, the Semper Opera and the Frauenkirche were its crown, and the skyline painted by Canaletto in the eighteenth century was among the most celebrated in Europe.
