Dresden Town Hall Tower: Finally open to visitors again!
Great joy in Dresden: The town hall tower is finally open to visitors again after being closed for twelve years. The high-rise, at around 100 meters the tallest building in the city center, attracts not only locals but also tourists from near and far. From now on, city explorers can climb the viewing platform at a height of 68 meters and treat themselves to a fascinating view over the city all the way to the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The platform was closed for a long time because there was no escape route.

The first tours begin on July 1st and are offered for groups of up to five people. These take place regularly on Thursdays to Mondays at 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. and include a special offer with a historically dressed tower guard who offers visitors a unique opportunity to climb up and take photos. The entry price is fair at nine euros for adults and six euros for reduced tickets, and children under six are even allowed to go for free. Tickets can be easily reserved online or by telephone.
