Enjoy life, breathe culture and good food in the centre of Germany

The town of Meissen is internationally famous for the production of Meissen porcelain, the first European porcelain to be manufactured since 1708. Just a few minutes' walk from the magnificent manufactory, you can stay in the holiday flats in an absolutely central location, just around the corner from the picturesque vineyards of the Elbe Valley, where you can go on wonderful hikes. The famous Moritzburg Castle with its lakes and forests is just outside the gates of Meissen.

Only 25 km from Dresden, 30 km from Freiberg, close to Coswig and Radebeul, Meissen Cathedral and the famous Albrechtsburg Castle greet every visitor from afar. It is considered to be the oldest castle in Germany. Since 1543, the princely school has also been located on the castle hill, in the former grounds of the St Afra monastery. Even today, famous piano concerts are held here and in the neighbouring castles under the direction of piano manufacturer Thürmer. You can also visit Proschwitz Castle near Meissen, where the Prince zur Lippe produces selected wines and excellent distillates. The old town is also picturesque, where you should definitely stop off at the Vincenz Richter wine restaurant, located in a clothmaker's house dating back to 1523, on the market square. And in the many antique shops, many a tourist has found a really good piece of Meissen porcelain at a favourable price.
