Old Market

Dresden's main square is a pulsating centre of social and cultural life as well as a popular shopping area - you can either visit the lively outside market or one of the many boutiques located in this area. So, if you're a shopaholic, be sure to visit this place!

Every advent the Altmarkt turns into a huge Christmas market with stands selling sweets and mulled wine, various amusement rides etc. It is a truly charming place to visit during the Christmas season and you can buy lovely Christmas decorations here. However, there are usually large crowds of people here at that time.
