They call it white gold, and men were once imprisoned over it. In a vault beneath Dresden, a young alchemist promised his king real gold, failed, and handed Europe its first true porcelain instead.
Dresden is full of stories like that, and this self-guided walking tour walks you straight to them. Follow the route on your phone as it narrates a city bombed to ash in the last winter of the war, then rebuilt from its own rubble and from old paintings. See the Frauenkirche pieced back together from its scorched original stones. Meet the ruler whose heart, they say, still beats when a beautiful woman passes. Uncover the Green Vault heist that stunned the world.
There is no guide to keep pace with and no fixed departure. This Dresden audio tour runs offline, pausing and resuming whenever you want.
