Highlights
The guided tours take visitors on a journey through the eventful history of the Palace of Culture and provide exciting insights into the elaborate reconstruction that has made the house what it is today : a living place of encounter, music, knowledge and architecture. It shows how versatile the Palace of Culture is used as the home of the Dresden Philharmonic, as the location of the Central Library and as an open space for culture and the public. Particular attention is paid to the architecture of the house. The Palace of Culture symbolizes that Dresden has more to offer than just Baroque splendor; as an outstanding example of the Mid Century architecture of the former GDR, it tells of another chapter in the city's history of clean lines, new ideas and the courage to modernize. The guided tours bring this architectural quality to life and show how carefully tradition and contemporary use have been combined.

About Dresden
Dresden, on the Elbe in Saxony, is a baroque city of domes and palaces rebuilt after the Second World War, with art museums and river views.
Dresden grew rich under the Saxon electors, notably Augustus the Strong, who filled the city with baroque palaces and collections. The Frauenkirche, whose great stone dome dominates the skyline, was destroyed in the bombing of February 1945 and rebuilt, reopening in 2005. The Zwinger, a baroque palace of pavilions and courtyards, and the Semper Opera House stand close together in the old town.
Top-ranked sights in Dresden: Dresden Frauenkirche, Dresden Christmas Market (Dresdner Striezelmarkt), Dresden Castle (Residenzschloss).
