A Small Part of Munich, Germany

Marienplatz in Munich, or Mary's Square!

When you come out of the subway this is what greets you, I couldn't have asked for anything better.  We were too late to hear the clock chime and see the little dancing people inside the clock so ... we'll have to come back I guess.  Isn't it a pity that I HAVE to come back? j/k

From Marienplatz we headed over to the oldest church

Dresden, Germany in the Winter

DRESDEN, GERMANY

Unfortunately, Dresden is really known for its destruction in WW II.  It was bombed on 13 February 1945 by the American and the British.  The bombing destroyed 75% of the historical center and killed 25,000 people.  It used to be considered the "Florence of the Elbe", and if you go there you can see why.  They have rebuilt almost everything but ... it is still not the original.  They didn't really begin to rebuild until recently due to Dresden being on the Soviet side of the Berlin wall after WWII.

Anyway ... onto Dresden!

When you arrive park, at the Hauptbahnhof for ease (or main train station) and take a tram (NOT a train) into the center of the town.  I believe it is either tram #8 or #9 to get to the historical center, Theaterplatz or Postplatz.

Here is Theaterplatz in all its glory!  

On the left is Katholiches Hofkirche, or Catholic Church of the Royal Court.
