Dresden by Lantern Light – Out and About with the Mysterious Night Watchman
Experience Dresden by lantern light and join the night watchman on his evening stroll through the Old Town.
When night falls, the night watchman’s hour begins. The sound of his horn echoes through narrow alleyways, and the light of his lantern pierces the darkness. With his halberd in hand, he protects honorable citizens from vagabonds and shady characters, even in the darkest corners.
Listen to eerie tales and spicy anecdotes from across the centuries, right in the heart of Dresden’s historic Old Town. At the end of the tour, the night watchman will be happy to pose for photos with you. It’s the perfect way to end your day – our true Dresden highlight!
