Dresden - The New Center

In my third day in Dresden I crossed the bridge to the new part of the city. Guided by my host I went in the center of the Old Town, near the train station and visited a nice mall they have there, like three streets big. After a nice smoothie we headed towards the New part of the city, but with a little detour. We stopped in a nice park which was crossed by a very tiny train specially used to transport tourists. At one end of the park there was this amazing building, like the Grand Hotel Budapest, used, as I could judge by the technological equipment placed around, for night shows. 

After the park we went to the new part of the city and I discovered that it is just so different from what I have seen of Dresden. Nice, hip people, old building, lots of colors and pubs, and small, cozy places to have a nice lunch. There were no many places to visit there, but for a park with green grass to sit on and a photo exposition documenting how Venice was reinforced to get through the war. Actually, those were some impressive photos which really taught me something about WWII.

In the New Center there were also a lot of nice small boutiques with genuine products, handmade or home made by locals. The locals being hip young people who opened their own businesses. So I did not spend much money on that day either, because the food I had with me and the walk was free. Also, window shopping is the cheapest way to shop by not spending money and of just dreaming of things and how good they would suit you.

On my last day in Dresden, until I left with my Blablacar ride, I stopped in the Old Center and had a nice cup of coffee, cheap, actually, listened to music being plaid on a piano placed in front of the cathedral and enjoyed just sitting in the wind. Also, the tram tickets are not that cheap, something like 2 euros for one ticket, but, as I said before, while in the center, you just do not need transportation. I used my tickets to get by tram to the place where I had to get into the Blablacar ride. So, these being said, just enjoy cheap, folks!
