Dresden: Lunch at Coselpalais Grand Café and Tour of the “Historisches Grünes Gewölbe” (Historic Green Vault) in the Royal Palace - Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours





Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours took place from Monday, June 19, 2023 to Thursday, June 29, 2023. 

We spent a day and a night in Dresden, Sachsen.

There were 2 highlights: The tour of the “Historisches Grünes Gewölbe” (Historic Green Vault) in the Royal Palace and Nabucco by Giuseppe Verdi at the Semperoper Dresden.

We stayed at the INNSIDE Hotel/ Dresden, right in the center of historic Dresden and around the corner from the famous Frauenkirche.

We had lunch and a late night snack after the opera performance at Coselpalais Grand Café & Restaurant. The Coselpalais is one of the best-known baroque buildings in Dresden, just next to the Frauenkirche and our hotel. 

INNSIDE Hotel/ Dresden

Hotel INNSIDE/ Dresden is an ultra-modern 4-star hotel with innovative design right in the historic city center of Dresden with the Twist Sky Bar on the 6th floor that allows for great views of the dome of the recently rebuilt Frauenkirche.


Coselpalais Grand Café & Restaurant

The Coselpalais is one of the best-known baroque buildings in Dresden. Badly damaged in the Second World War, it was restored true to the original in an elaborate reconstruction process. The Palais was built in 1762 by the son of King August the Strong of Sachsen and the Countess of Cosel. She was a noblewomen and for many years the official mistress of August the Strong.

Tour of the “Historisches Grünes Gewölbe” (Historic Green Vault)

Dresden has a long history as the capital of the kingdom of Saxony. For centuries the Saxon royals spared no money and effort to furnish the city with artistic and cultural splendor. The baroque and rococo city center, and its wealth of art, gave the city the nickname “Florence of the North”. In modern times, until 1933, when the Nazi regime came into power, Dresden was Europe’s capital of modern art. The allied bombings during the night of February 13, 1945 at the end of World War II wiped out the city. During GDR times very few of the most important historical monuments were restored.

After reunification restauration efforts intensified, and major reconstruction projects, including rebuilding the “Frauenkirche”, were completed. The restoration of the Royal Palace is about to be completed.

At the “Historisches Grünes Gewölbe” (Historic Green Vault) you to get a glimpse into the late baroque world of the Saxon royals. The Green Vault was reopened on the ground floor in 2006. From 1723 to 1730, August the Strong had a series of rooms constructed to represent his wealth and power as an absolute monarch; the full, incredible experience of this late baroque synthesis of the arts is once again available to visitors in the original rooms.
