Tour Dresden

Tour Dresden on a bicycle.

Wind whips through my hair as I leisurely pedal along Dresden's main drag, the River Elbe promenade. It's winter and the entire city is draped in white from last night's snowfall.

As I pause to take in the sights, my bicycle skids on the icy pathway.

"Let's hope it doesn't snow today," says my guide Heiko. "It might be too slippery to cycle then."

I secretly hope otherwise. The German city's baroque buildings are even more stunning capped in white. Some of them contain Europe's most valuable treasures and artworks, earning Dresden the name "Florence of the Elbe".
