The Palais Summer has started again. It is a cultural festival taking place in the park of Japanisches Palais in Dresden from August 1st to August 25th. The focus of this festival is on art connected to the awarding of the Canaletto award. But even if you say „I’ve visited the old masters gallery the whole day long – I cannot take anymore art“  you don’t need to worry. It’s not like that. There are some paintings of local artists exhibited somewhere at the side of the garden. What is much more interesting is the programme that is going on during these days. There are piano nights, audio drama nights, you can take part in some yoga courses (at various times during the day), watch movies or join some painting performances such as nude painting in the park – where else can you get this if not in Dresden?!

And what is best: all these events are for free! You can even get blankets or deck chairs there, in case it gets cold at night.

So why not spend a day or two in Dresden and visit the Palais Summer?!

On their website you can get more information and also find the whole programme: http://www.palaissommer.de

The Great Garden is more than just trails and meadows. Dresden’s first baroque building, the Palais, is situated right in the center of it.  It hosts the botanical and the zoological garden as well as an open air theatre for concerts and theatre. Of course, it’s perfect to overcome your spring tiredness. Try this summerlike activities there:

1. Minigolf! Not only fun for kids and families. Rent equipement for €2 and battle your friends.

2. Rent a boat! And paddle to the hidden angles of the park.

3. Make love between the high weed! Watch out for the long blades of grass and throw yourselves in it. You can really get lost in there. If you really need an adventure. Try this.

4. Have a beer! Beergardens are supposed to be typical German. Alright. The Great Garden offers you several possibilties to try the different kinds of Germany brewed beer. Traditional kitchen and adequate music is available as well.

5. Let your hair wave in the wind! Hop on the small park train. It’s fun. It’s much faster than you would think. Don’t get impressed by the age of the other „travellers“. They just don’t know what they’re doing there.
