It’s time to rekindle your childhood fantasies of being a princess. While we like to think we are working our way to royalty status, something’s missing. Palaces and jewels perhaps? A knight in shining armor? Definitely. Whisk yourself away to Dresden for a week and your fairytale will certainly feel a little closer to reality. The city is filled with palaces and hosts a fabulous collection of former crown jewels. Waltz around the open-air festivals, concerts, and museums to explore the rich culture of this dreamy setting. Dresden, also called the “Florence of the North,” is full of fine arts, so be entertained by the local talent and consider adding a piece to your fab fine art collection. Soak up the sophisticated culture while enjoying a day courtesy of your “ladies in waiting” at the spa or drift down the River Elbe on a relaxing boat ride as you perfect your Diana wave. End the night with a glass of wine and lose your breath looking over the beautiful landscape all the while keeping your eyes peeled for your knight. He’s out there somewhere and Dresden’s the perfect place to look.
