This is the north side of Dresden looking back to the old town. The Old Town gets all the attention of the the adoring public because of the Striezelmarkt (and who wouldn’t) BUT the north side of the Elbe is home to Dresden’s longest Christmas market, the Augustusmarkt. Here as you can see they have a big wheel at one end and a small ice rink at the other end perfect for the kids, it makes a great winter evening walk. Also in this view is the Dreikönigskirche, the Frauenkirche, the Residenzschloss and the Hofkirche.
