About this Tour
On the digital TripleAP scavenger hunt with Vega, Cosmo and Cupcake, you and your children will discover Dresden's magnificent old town — the baroque “Florence on the Elbe.” On your own and at your own pace. If you need a break along the way, want to eat a curry sausage or want to enjoy Brühl's terrace for longer, then go ahead! The aim of the scavenger hunt is not only to guess the answer, but also to spend a nice and entertaining day with your children. And maybe learn something about Dresden's history, art and Baroque architecture along the way.
The route: Your scavenger hunt starts at the Gottfried Semper Memorial between the Albertinum and the Academy of Arts. The GPS map on your smartphone takes you through Dresden's Baroque heart — across Brühl's Terrace to the Frauenkirche, past the princely procession to the Hofkirche, to the magnificent Semper Opera House and through the breathtaking Zwinger. You'll end up at the historic Old Stallhof in the residential castle. The perfect place to recharge your batteries after your tour and discuss your shared experiences. Which stations do you stop at along the way? Well, there must also be a bit of surprise.
Start and meeting point: You will receive an email with your personal access link directly after booking.
