Description:

Head to Meissen to explore a town rich in gothic architecture; while you’re there, visit the factory that produces the legendary porcelain. Tour the city and admire the grand cathedral and castle before traveling through the charming countryside to Moritzburg, a castle in a stunning setting on a pond.

First follow the River Elbe north to Meissen, the “cradle of Saxony” and witness the town’s defining industry in action at the porcelain works. Watch as the world-famous china is created, stamped with the famous crossed blue swords trademark, and made ready for sale.

Meander through the cobbled medieval streets and gaze upon the traditional gabled houses that lead to the tower in Albrechtsburg Castle, then the Meissen Cathedral, which dominates the town center. Learn about the local 1,000 year history from your professional guide.

Continue to the Moritzburg Castle, a truly enchanting setting and former hunting lodge that sits on an artificial island in a pond.
