The Best of Saxony and a Touch of Bohemian Charm – Full-Day Tour from Dresden

Discover some of Saxony’s most beautiful towns and landscapes in a single day, including a short excursion across the border into the Czech Republic.

Our tour begins in Dresden. Crossing the Waldschlösschen Bridge and travelling through Dresden Heath, we reach our first destination: the beer town of Radeberg. We make a brief photo stop directly outside the famous Radeberger Export Brewery.

We then continue via the main road and motorway to Bautzen, the historic capital of Upper Lusatia. Your approximately 45-minute stay begins at Cathedral Square. Explore the romantic old town with its medieval lanes, the impressive Cathedral of St Peter, the distinctive Reichenturm tower and the famous Bautzen mustard shop. Enjoy the unique atmosphere of one of Saxony’s most beautiful historic towns.

Our route then follows a scenic country road offering magnificent views of the Upper Lusatian Highlands towards Sebnitz, the gateway to Saxon Switzerland. We make another photo stop at the historic market square. As we continue, we pass the long-established Deutsche Kunstblume Sebnitz artificial flower workshop and experience the spectacular landscape of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

Travelling through Saxon Switzerland National Park and past Bad Schandau, we finally arrive in Hřensko in the Czech Republic, the fourth stop on our tour. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing lunch break. Sample traditional Bohemian cuisine, a Czech beer, a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Afterwards, there will be time to browse the numerous market stalls offering souvenirs, regional specialities and a range of other goods.

Please note: All travellers require a valid national identity card or passport to enter the Czech Republic. Guests of other nationalities should check the applicable entry requirements before travelling.

When bringing dogs across the border, the relevant EU entry regulations must be observed. In particular, every dog requires a valid EU pet passport and valid microchip identification.

After the lunch break, we return to Germany. Our final destination, Stolpen Castle, can already be seen from a distance, rising majestically above its distinctive basalt rock. We make one final photo stop at the historic market square and enjoy the view of the impressive castle complex.

With many wonderful impressions and memories, we then begin our relaxing return journey to Dresden.

Tours usually depart from Pirnaischer Platz in Dresden at 9:00 a.m. After a varied day featuring several stops and a lunch break, we expect to return to Dresden at approximately 5:00 p.m.

The exact return time may vary slightly depending on the selected tour, traffic conditions and the itinerary on the day.

Our day tours are deliberately kept small, with a maximum of six guests. This creates a personal and relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of opportunity for individual questions and shared experiences.

Regular breaks are part of every tour. For all scheduled stops, we choose locations where restrooms are nearby so you have the opportunity to freshen up or take a short break in comfort.
Smokers also have the opportunity to take a smoking break, but please keep your distance from non-smokers.

The tours take place in a comfortable Peugeot Traveller with Business trim.

The vehicle accommodates up to six guests and provides a relaxing travel experience, even on longer day trips.

Yes. Our day tours usually include a relaxing lunch break at a regional restaurant or traditional inn.

Unless otherwise stated, food and drinks are not included in the tour price and must be paid for individually at the venue.

Admission fees are not automatically included in the tour price unless this is explicitly stated for the selected tour.

Where an attraction charges an admission fee, the relevant information will be provided directly in the individual tour description.

The concept behind TAGESTOUR-DRESDEN.de combines comfortable travel by vehicle with independent exploration of the respective destinations on site.

At the individual stops, you will therefore need to walk short distances. Depending on the destination, the routes lead along cobblestone streets and market squares, gentle inclines, and, in some cases, stairs and steps.
Please note that many of the restaurants, pubs, and historic buildings visited are not accessible. In particular, access to restrooms is often only possible via stairs or steps.

Our tours are therefore suitable for guests who are able to walk well.

We recommend comfortable clothing suitable for the weather as well as sturdy footwear. Depending on the season, sun protection or rainwear may also be useful.

For trips across the border into the Czech Republic, you will also need a valid national identity card or passport.

Our tours can generally also take place in changeable weather.

If exceptional weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances make it impossible to operate the tour, you will be informed accordingly.

You can book each of the tours offered as an exclusive tour—just for you and your companions—or as a group tour.
To do so, select “Exclusive Tour” separately in the booking form when choosing the number of people. A maximum of 6 people and 2 dogs can then travel with you.
In addition, we offer customized VIP tours. Please feel free to learn more under Tours / VIP TOUR and
the packages offered there: S, L, and XXL
