British and American visitors may, understandably, feel distinctly uneasy about coming to Dresden, but the extensive and now largely complete rebuilding of the city centre offers some reassurance that the devastation has been overcome if not forgotten.

The city skyline has been meticulously restored to its late 18th century appearance, and the area around Theaterplatz, the Zwinger (the old royal palace) and the Opera is magnificent.

Dresden is well worth seeing.

Trains from Dresden Airport to Hauptbahnhof are frequent and fast (it's only 9km out of town).

The city's public transport system is excellent, combining regular buses, trams and an overground (S-bahn) service.
