I love market halls and seek them out wherever I travel in the world. This one is one of the worst…read moreI have ever visited. It's not worth your time nor effort to seek it out, and I hate that I wasted precious travel time finding this place. It's basically a dying market hall, more than half of the stalls are boarded up and closed. There are a couple of vendors selling Chinese-made knick nacks and that's about it. They do have a cleanish toilet (you have to pay to use it) but that's the only positive thing I can say about this place. What a letdown.

I am always on the lookout for markets in other countries, I will admit I am somewhat addicted to…read morevisiting them to see what local delicacies they offer. When I noticed Dresden had a market and a mere ten minute walk from my hotel, I was ecstatic! Finding the market was not too difficult as walking the main pedestrian "walkway" will run you right into the indoor market. Once inside I was excited to see the first few stalls offering delicacies from not only Germany, but Russia as well. That is where my excitement ended as most stores only possesed chotchkies and various overpriced mass produced goods. At one end is a fairly good sized market which is great if you need to pick up any food or alcohol at a affordable price point. Other than that, you can be in and out of this market in under an hour sadly. Was it worth it, possibly, but I would not suggest going out of your way if you are a market fanatic as there is not much to explore sadly.

We visited this store yesterday and really liked it. The store isn't very large, but it has lots…read moreof attractive and clever items for the home; especially kitchen items. Everything is very colorful, too. What drew me into the store, however, is the selection of beautiful cards. The owner couple are incredibly sweet-natured and we had a delightful conversation with them.

This is a great little bakery and cafe. We came here after going up the side of the mountain with…read morethe Schwebebahn and viewing the city from above. It was the afternoon and we were in need of some coffee and delicious cake. The place is fairly small and it was quite packed but we did get to manage to find a small table. Our server stopped by quickly and we got some Latte and apple juice of the kids. We all go to choose some cake. I got myself a real Dresdener Eierschecke and my mom got some Apple Crumb Cake. The kids got some fresh made cookies. The Eierschecke was one of the best ones, I have ever had. My son is a very very picky eater but he ate more than half of my cake, because it was so delicious. The prices are pretty standard. Great little place and awesome variety of home made fresh cakes, cookies and buns. It's also just a couple feet from the Schwebebahn, so the location is perfect.
