To find one of Dresden’s best-kept secrets you’ll have to leave the historic Old Town district and venture into the newer part of the city, where a secret art passage called the Kunsthofpassage holds some of the city’s best architecture, design and shopping.

In the Kunsthofpassage visitors can enjoy a coffee while rainwater-powered music plays in the background, or buy one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry to wear to an outdoor film screening that evening. In other words, this hidden artist community has something for everyone.
