Turn the wasted travel day into the highlight of your trip with stops at Moritzburg Palace, Elbe Sandstone Mountains and Litomerice on your journey from Dresden to Prague.
Fantastic trip, with amazing stops and an even better guide. I've seen things I would have never seen in my life otherwise, and our guide was clearly knowledgeable and had a good spirit and sense of humor, which made everything worthwhile. I would say the price was just right for the trip. :)

We will stroll around Moritzburg Palace to admire the gorgeous views of one of the most magnificent examples of Baroque-style architecture in Germany.
What we'll do
During the tour we walk around the Moritzburg Palace grounds admiring the garden and the park views. We do not enter the palace but we get a close-up look. On the steps of the palace is also a chance for everyone to find out if they have what it takes to be a fairytale princess by trying on Cinderella’s shoe.
About Moritzburg Palace
Moritzburg Palace is named after Duke Moritz of Saxony who built a small hunting lodge here in the 16th century. The king August II the Strong had the current Baroque-style palace built in the 18th century as his country seat.The palace is surrounded by a stunning park and gardens area. Ironically, none of the plans (and there have been many) for the garden have been fully finished, and the work with them is still continuing.
Take in the breathtaking views of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains at one of its most famous sights - the Bastei Bridge.
What we'll do
The whole area of Elbe Sandstone Mountains offers incredible views. We visit one of the must-see locations - the Bastei Bridge . The bridge was built when the area became popular to visit in the 19th century. From the Bastei rocks and the Bastei Bridge you have a wonderful panoramic view over the mountains and surrounding evergreen forests.

Both countries have designated the area as a National Park, in Germany the Saxon Switzerland National Park and in Czech Republic the Bohemian Switzerland National Park.The mountains here are not very high, the highest peak is the Děčínský Sněžník with 722,8 m on the Czech side. These sandstone mountains are millions of years old and eroded down by wind and water.
We discover the beautiful city of Litoměřice, known as the Garden of Bohemia by visiting the historic city center.
What we'll do
We visit the city center that is a mix of charming and colorful Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque style buildings.

We found out about this tour in Dresden and decided to travel with them to Prague. Great way to travel to another city, seeing those sights you would normally miss if you were using public transport. I highly recommend this tour.

This tour beats any boring bus or airplane ride. Our guide was full of local knowledge and has a nice sense of humor too. Many interesting stops on the way. I can highly recommend using Sidetrip to travel between Dresden and Prague (or vice versa). Thanks!
