Bunte Republik Neustadt

Bunte Republik Neustadt translates as “Colourful Republic of New Town” was begun as an “independent state” of Dresden. Much like Shoreditch in London this part of town is the creative and cultural “trendy” driving force of the city, full of bars, restaurants, cafes, clubs, street art, graffiti etc.. And also much like Shoreditch in London the house and flat prices in this area are soaring high!

This shot was taken during the 3 day Bunte Republik Neustadt festival in early June each year which is really worth visiting for small, friendly and carefree attitude.
