Saxon Switzerland National Park is known for its sandstone rock formations along the Elbe River in Germany. This day trip from Prague includes a walk across the sandstone Bastei Bridge, which offers views over the Elbe Canyon. The tour stops at the ruins of the medieval Neurathen rock castle and several scenic viewpoints among the rocks. After about a 30-minute drive from the park, the tour continues to Dresden, a city with notable historical landmarks. Travel is by modern minivan with onboard Wi-Fi and air conditioning, seating up to eight guests. In Dresden, the tour visits the Royal Palace, the Frauenkirche church, and the Zwinger gallery with its collection of old master paintings. Note that the Zwinger’s Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister is closed until February 28, so the Royal Palace is visited instead during that time. The trip lasts about 9 to 10 hours and includes lunch at a local German restaurant with options for vegetarians, vegans, and those with allergies. Lunch comes with a drink of choice. Guests also receive bottled water, snacks, tea, and coffee during the journey. Walking equipment is provided for the visit to the park. The afternoon allows free time to explore Dresden independently before returning to Prague.
