I say Dresden is not worth visiting not because it is actually not worth visiting-I think every place is worth visiting-but because it probably isn’t worth visiting given the time constraints of one’s trip. Dresden was spread out and had few noteworthy attractions. I remember a wonderful Raphael painting in an otherwise dull art museum, a pretty river, a fantastic outdoor food market, and little else. Dresden seemed like a good place to live-visually nice, very peaceful-but not so much to visit. If you have lots of time though, it’s not a bad stop on the train between Berlin and Prague.
