15 Best Things to Do in Meissen (Germany)

Approaching the city of Meissen in Saxony the first thing that comes into view is the Burgberg rising over the Elbe. Translating to castle hill, Burgberg is where the city’s founder Henry the Fowler put up his fortress against the Slavs to the east in the 10th century.

Now the hill is claimed by a glorious Gothic cathedral and Albrechtsburg, a 15th-century palace. Albrechtsburg, laid out for the ruling House of Wettin, was the first noble property in Germany designed for luxury and style rather than defence.

The name “Meissen” is also eponymous for hard-paste porcelain of the highest quality, manufactured here before anywhere else in Europe and going strong after more than 300 years of production.

Let’s explore the best things to do in Meissen :

1. Albrechtsburg

A masterwork of Late Gothic architecture, Albrechtsburg, in Meissen’s hilltop ensemble of medieval monuments, held as Germany’s oldest “Schloss”, equivalent to a château.

The palace dates to the second half of the 15th century on a spot that had been fortified since the 900s.

The men in charge at that time were Ernest and Albert (Albrecht) of Wettin, joint electors of Saxony.

No other noble residence of the period had this level of sophistication, from the cellular vaulting throughout, to arched curtain windows and the winding staircase tower that distinguishes the facade.

By the 18th century Albrechtsburg was out of favour and hosted the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory for the next 160 years.

Then in 1873 the palace was restored to its Late Gothic glory, and Gothic Revival murals were painted throughout, documenting the history of the building.

2. Meissen Cathedral

Next door, Meissen Cathedral is as pure an expression of Gothic architecture as you could hope to find.

Work started in 1260 and would continue up to 1410. The first thing to do is make for the north wall of the choir where there are two larger than life 13th-century polychrome statues of Holy Roman Emperor Otto I and his wife Adelaide of Burgundy, founders of the diocese of Meissen in the 10th century.

Also astounding is the rood screen from 1260, and in close proximity you’ll find an altar triptych from Lucas Cranach the Elder’s workshop, carved choir stalls and a pulpit all from the 16th century.

In 1425 a new funerary chapel for the Wettins was built for Frederick I, Elector of Saxony.

This is on the west side of the building and houses Frederick’s rich bronze tomb monument.

3. Meissen Porcelain Manufactory

Meissen is a byword for fine porcelain, a legacy reaching back to 1708. It all began when Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland wanted to crack the secret of Chinese porcelain, which had been imported to Europe at great expense for hundreds of years.

He put a team of alchemists, metallurgists and physicists on the case, and by 1708 Meissen’s manufactory was up and running.

Coming to the manufactory entails a visit to the “demonstration workshop”, where a recorded audio-guide explains how each piece is hand-painted and glazed.

You don’t need to be a collector to be awed by the level of workmanship.

Upstairs is a museum with 300 years worth of the finest porcelain in a purpose-built Neoclassical exhibition hall.

4. Burgberg

The climb up the hill that hosts the castle and cathedral from the south is like a journey through time: You’ll clamber past Gothic and Renaissance patrician houses on stairways until you arrive at the Schlossbrücke.

Crenellated on both sides, this Romanesque bridge completed in the 1220s culminates with the Mittlerer Burgtor.

This regal gate was originally Romanesque but after being removed in the 1700s it was rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style in the 1870s, and has mosaics depicting St George.

Head through the portal and you’ll be on the Domplatz (Cathedral Square) and marvelling at the castle, cathedral and monastic buildings.

5. Meissen Markt

At the foot of the Burgberg is Meissen’s marketplace, bordered on all sides by Renaissance buildings.

Your eye will be drawn to the apse and 57-metre tower of the Frauenkirche and the white town hall, which we’ll talk about later.

On the east side you can’t ignore the Hirschhaus, which has a fine Mannerist portal dating to 1642. The south side has a delightful row of pastel-painted Renaissance houses including the Markt-Apotheke (Market Pharmacy).

6. Frauenkirche

In the southwest corner of the marketplace is the Church of Our Lady, first documented at the start of the 13th century.

After city fires in the 15th century the church was extended and redesigned as a Late Gothic hall church.

The exquisite altarpiece is from around this period, although its wings, which had been lost, were replaced in the 1900s.

The church has another valuable altar, crafted in 1480 and brought here from Meissen’s Nikolaikirche.

The tower was struck by lightning in the 16th century, when it got its current Renaissance lines and octagonal shape.

This holds the 37-bell porcelain carillon (the first in the world), installed in 1929 on Meissen’s 1000th anniversary and playing a different hymn at 06:30, 08:30, 11:30, 14:30, 17:30 and 20:30.

Taking up the whole of the north wall of Marktplatz, the town hall is a photogenic Late Gothic building finished in 1478. The building has a high and unusually steep saddle roof, where you can admire its outstanding feature, a row of three highly ornate dormers.

The main portal has a Gothic ogival arch, and above this you can see Meissen’s coat of arms, carved from sandstone in 1865. The doorway on the right led to the Brotbank (a bakery regulated by the town), which is now the Ratskeller, a traditional restaurant common in German historic town halls.

8. Panoramaaufzug Burgberg Meissen

The trek to the top of the Burgberg might be a bit onerous on summer days, so now you can catch a new panoramic lift.

This will carry you in a glass box 33 vertical metres up the slope in 40 seconds flat.

The lift runs from 09:00 to 18:00 and costs €1,00 to go up and is free of charge to come down.

On your short journey you’ll have just enough time to look over the Elbe and its vineyards.

9. Kloster Heilig Kreuz

By the Elbe, a couple of kilometres north of Meissen are the enigmatic ruins of a Medieval monastery.

The complex is from the beginning of the 13th century and switched between the Cistercian and Benedictine orders.

The buildings were secularised in the Reformation in the 16th century and then demolished in the Seven Years’ War in the mid-18th century.

The revered Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich painted the ruins in 19th century.

The site is now in the hands of Hahnemannzentrum, an organisation for homeopathic medicine.

They have planted gardens with roses, honeysuckle, clematis and some 200 varieties of medicinal and aromatic plants.

Also growing in the gardens is the oldest Traminer vine in Saxony, at more than 150 years old.

10. Stadtmuseum

Meissen’s city museum occupies a few of the old town’s historic buildings, like a Neo-Gothic house from the 19th century, the gatehouse on Domplatz by the cathedral and the former Church of St Peter and Paul, which is the main venue.

The Stadtmuseum uncovers Meissen’s history from different angles, chronicling the development of the porcelain craft, displaying religious statues and funerary monuments from Medieval times and the Early Modern Age.

In the old church you can view a fun assortment of objects like a giant wine press dating back to 1788, 19th-century bicycles, sewing machines from the 1880s made at Meissen Biesolt & Locke factory, models of ships that navigated the Elbe and 16th-century pistols.

11. Kirche St. Afra

On the Afraberg hill, a brisk climb up two stairways from the Martkplatz is a church consecrated in the early 13th century and once belonging to an Augustinian monastery.

The Church of St Afra was remodelled in the 15th century, and the Martinsaltar is the thing you can’t leave without seeing.

This was moved here from the Church of St Martin in Weinböhla and was crafted with vivid images of St Martin, St Urban and John the Evangelist.

The early Baroque portal on the south side bears the coat of arms of the Saxon electors, while on the left is a statue of Moses with the ten commandments, and on the right is Paul the Apostle with sword.

Meissen has a winemaking tradition reaching back to the 12th century.

This is the Saxony wine region (one of the northernmost in Europe), with vineyards on the terraced granite slopes of the Elbe Valley from Dresden to Diesbar-Seußlitz, 15 kilometres north of Meissen.

Wineries generally produce dry, lightly fruity white wines using mostly Müller-Thurgau, Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris grapes.

There are also a few reds made with Pinot Noir, which also does well in Meissen’s cold winters and warm summers.

Wine taverns and bistros are plentiful in the old town, while the Weinfest celebrates the grape harvest at the turn of October and invites winegrowers from around the region to showcase their latest wines.

On the fairground the Elbe there’s a live music stage with music for all tastes.

13. Schloss Proschwitz

The oldest privately run winery in Saxony, owned by a member of the historic House of Lippe, is hardly five kilometres from the Burgberg in Meissen.

Wine has been produced on this parcel of land since the middle of the 12th century.

The vines at Schloss Proschwitz grow on the south-facing slopes on the right bank of the Elbe, making up for the high latitude, and you’ll be able to tour the estate, soaking up picturesque vistas of Albrechtsburg and the cathedral.

The 18th-century Baroque palace is rented for events, while there are concerts in the park in summer.

On a typical day your main motive for coming will be to visit the winery shop and try a glass or two at a table in the shade of chestnut trees.

14. Meissen Siebeneichen Zoo

This animal park is in three hectares of forest not far from Siebeneichen Schloss, which while noteworthy is currently empty and awaiting redevelopment.

The zoo has 85 different species and about 400 animals in total on its three hectares.

Kids will have fun making friends with the tame ponies and rabbits, and there are lots of other farmyard animals like chickens, horses, goats and pigs.

In the aviary are birds of prey like long-eared owls and snowy owls.

And although the park concentrates on mountain and domestic animals there are also exotic species like kangaroos, turkeys, porcupines, parrots, sika deer and alpacas.

15. Meißner Fummel

Meissen has a pastry with EU geographical indication that has been baked in the town for over 300 years.

The Meißner Fummel is a strange delicacy with a back-story.

The pastry is made from dough rolled wafer thin.

When it is baked the Fummel inflates like a balloon, except there won’t be anything inside.

The shell of pastry is then dusted with icing sugar, and the flakes enjoyed as a treat with coffee.

So what’s the point of what is essentially an air pocket? Well, the Fummel was invented by the 18th-century Elector August II the Strong for court carriers to carry with them.

This was done to make sure that they looked after the important documents they delivered by coach between Dresden and Meissen.

The pastry is so fragile that the utmost care would be needed to prevent it from breaking.

'Expensive in every way': What travelers should expect this summer

Summer travel in 2024 will be "expensive in every way," said Katharine Nohr. And she should know.

She's planning a two-week adventure to Europe in June, which starts with a marathon flight from Honolulu to Zurich, where she'll speak at a conference. Then she's hopscotching across Europe – to Vienna, then on to the Olympics. Nohr made plans to be in Nantes, France, to watch a soccer game, in Lille for basketball, and in Paris for gymnastics, boxing and swimming.

Check out   Elliott Confidential , the newsletter the travel industry doesn't want you to read. Each issue is filled with breaking news, deep insights, and exclusive strategies for becoming a better traveler. But don't tell anyone!

All told, it'll set her back five figures despite her best efforts, which include flying economy class and staying in the lowest-priced hotels. 

"The trip is pricey, even with my efforts to economize," said Nohr, an attorney from Honolulu. "But it's a once-in-my-life adventure." 

Flying cars are coming! Here's how they could change the way you travel.

'Flying feels different': Here's how air travel has changed recently

Summer travelers are pursuing exciting, expensive vacations

Nohr is part of a wave of travelers who are making big plans for this summer. The itineraries are exciting – and expensive. 

Pretty much every barometer of travel intent is up for the summer travel season. Inflation and unemployment are low, and consumer sentiment and curiosity are high, fueling an unprecedented interest in travel. 

"Bookings are rising," said Susan Sherren, who runs Couture Trips , a travel agency. "Unfortunately, hotel, tour and air prices are not falling. So if you plan on hitting the road this summer, make sure you are willing to splash some cash."

Travel companies say they're overwhelmed with summer reservations.

"The travel economy is booming," said Joe Ialacci, owner of Yacht Hampton Boating Club , a company that rents yachts in Sag Harbor, New York. He's seeing a 40% increase in rentals this summer compared with last year as Americans shift some of their vacation dollars to domestic destinations.

Prices aren't the only thing trending higher. People's expectations for their summer vacation are also higher than at any time since the pandemic, said Sangeeta Sadarangani, CEO of Crossing , a multinational travel agency headquartered in London. 

"They're embracing the unknown," she said.

And one of the great unknowns is travel prices. How much higher will they be?

What will prices be like this summer?

It depends on where you're going. There's good news if you're traveling within the U.S.: Flights and hotels are a little less expensive than last summer . But they're rising elsewhere. Here's the breakdown:

• Airfares are mixed. Domestic round-trip airfares for summer will peak at $315 a ticket, according to the travel platform Hopper . Flights to Europe are cheaper, too. They've fallen 10% from last year to $882. But flights to South America are up 2% and flights to Canada have risen 7%. You'll pay an average of $708 to fly south of the border and $419 to head north.
• U.S. hotel rates are down. Domestically, they're about the same as last year at an average of $206 a night.
• Car rental prices are rising. Average domestic car rental rates are up only 3% this summer to $42 a day on a four-day rental, according to Hopper. 

But you can avoid the high prices with a little strategic planning, experts say.

What to avoid this summer

American travelers are becoming more predictable in their summer vacation choices, said John Lovell, president of Travel Leaders Group . Immediately after the pandemic, they embarked on "revenge" vacations to far-flung locations. Now they're returning to more conventional vacations.

"We continue to see U.S. travelers heading back to the more traditional locations across Europe this year, like London, Rome, Athens and Munich," he said.

There are places that will be exceptionally busy – and exceptionally pricey – this summer.

• Paris during the Olympics. The Olympic Games are in Paris this summer. Rooms are more than double the normal rates , which is typical of the Olympics. Paris is already crowded with tourists during the summer, so you can probably imagine what it will be like with the Olympics. Zut, alors!
• Taylor Swift is touring Europe this summer. Prices will be higher and the crowds will be denser. "If you aren't planning to attend one of her concerts, I recommend planning around those European cities when she's there," said Betsy Ball, co-founder of Euro Travel Coach . (Want to know if your schedules overlap? Here's Taylor Swift's concert schedule .)
• Other big summer events. Even if you steer clear of Taylor and the Olympics, you're still not out of the woods. There's the UEFA Euro 2024 football tournament in Germany in June. There's the Tour de France in July, which begins in Florence and finishes in Nice. France is also hosting the Paralympic Games in August and September in Paris, Nice, Marseille and Bordeaux.

Air travel smells worse than ever. Here's how to fix it.

Pay less to fly: New strategies for finding cheap airfares now

When is the best time to book a 2024 summer vacation?

Because this is going to be a busy season, the sooner you book, the better. Hopper recommends buying your plane tickets two to three months before your departure for domestic flights, and for international – well, it's probably too late to get that rock-bottom fare. If you're reading this in April, you can still find something for late August or early September, according to its airfare experts.

As always, you can save money by booking a flight for midweek instead of on the weekend – and, of course, by keeping far, far away from the big travel holidays like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day. 

Also, if you're going overseas, remember the holiday calendar is different there. For example, half of Europe shuts down in August for summer vacation. It's worth a look-up, otherwise, you could face some real disappointments.

Strategies for traveling better during the summer

One tactic that consistently works is splitting your getaway into two sections. Take that required summer vacation with your family somewhere less expensive during the high season. Then, wait until shoulder season for the big trip. 

That's what Ross Copas, a retired electrician from Tweed, Canada, is doing during the summer of 2024. It's a road trip across the northern U.S. by motorcycle – New York to Washington state, and then back east through Canada. 

Then he's heading to Amsterdam in September for a 23-day European river cruise. He said the late-summer getaway will be costly, but he doubts fares will fall anytime soon. "So price be damned," he said.

Actually, that's pretty smart. I took the same cruise on Viking River Cruises many years ago, and it was worth every penny.

With hotel rates rising in some places this summer, this is the right time to consider alternatives. Monica Fish, a writer from Glen Rock, New Jersey, is headed to Ireland to catch one of Taylor Swift's performances. She said hotel rooms in Dublin are overpriced, if they're even available. But Fish found an affordable vacation rental. 

"We just had to book it farther in advance than we normally would," she said. 

Go ahead, follow the crowds this summer

I think it's fine to follow the crowds this summer. I'll be doing it. I'm planning to rent an apartment for a month in Switzerland with Blueground, a long-term apartment rental company. Then I'm crashing on a friend's sofa in Spain, then heading to Sweden to see other friends and visiting my brother in Finland. Yes, travel writers know people everywhere . 

But don't follow the crowds off a cliff. There are places even I won't go. I might take the four-hour train trip from Zurich to Paris in June to check out my favorite patisseries, but I wouldn't go anywhere near the City of Lights during the Summer Games in July unless I made a reservation a long time ago.

And Taylor Swift? Puh-leeze. I'm more of a jazz guy.

These Are Going to Be the Most Popular Travel Destinations in 2024

A lready thinking about where you want to travel in 2024 ? If you’re hoping to hit the hottest travel destinations of the year, Expedia Group is here to help. The one-stop travel site—alongside Hotels.com and VRBO—just released Unpack '24 , a travel trends analysis for the coming year. In addition to detailing the projected top 10 most popular international destinations of 2024, the site also revealed 10 “dupes” for travelers looking to perhaps spend a bit less, as well as those hoping to be surrounded by fewer fellow tourists. Additionally, they revealed 10 affordable cities where the world’s biggest musical acts are set to perform, as well as where to travel if you live a sober lifestyle.

“At Expedia Group, we have extensive first-party travel data that we use to enhance and curate experiences for our travelers across Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo,” Jon Gieselman, president of Expedia Brands, says in the report. “These insights shape our travel forecasts, revealed in Unpack '24, enabling our travelers to be the first to discover and book the most desired trips before they become well-beaten paths.”

Ready to ignite your travel bug? Ahead, discover the most popular travel destinations of 2024.

The Top 10 Travel Destinations of 2024

Expedia Group predicts that travelers are most likely to jet set to destinations popularized in fan-favorite TV shows and movies. According to the report, “More than half of travelers say they’ve researched or booked a trip to a destination after seeing it on a TV show or in a movie. In fact, travelers say TV shows influence their travel decisions more than Instagram, TikTok, and podcasts.” With that in mind, they reveal that the top 10 travel destinations of 2024 are as follows:

• Thailand - Featured in White Lotus , Season 3—which has sadly been pushed to premiere in 2025
• Romania - Featured in Wednesday , Season 2—which has not yet set a release date
• Malta - As seen in Gladiator 2 , which is set to premiere on November 22, 2024
• Paris - As seen in Emily in Paris
• Scottish Highlands - Featured in Outlander
• London, Bath, and Windsor, U.K. - As seen in Bridgerton and The Crown
• South Korea - Featured in Squid Game —the Season 2 release date has yet to be announced
• Florida Keys - As seen in the series Bad Monkey
• Australia - Featured in Baz Luhrmann’s Faraway Downs series, as well as the film Furiosa , which is set to premiere on May 24, 2024
• Greece - as seen in the films Argylle (set to release in 2024) and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3

The Top 10 Travel Destination Dupes

Dupes have long been lauded in the beauty and fashion categories, and now the concept is making its way to travel. “1 in 3 of those polled say they’ve booked a dupe,” the report reveals. “But what do these less obvious alternatives offer besides potential savings? They’re often less crowded, tend to be a little unexpected, and can be every bit as delightful as the tried-and-true destinations.”

Intrigued by the idea of booking a stellar vacation for a fraction of the price? Check out Expedia Group’s Top 10 Travel Destination Dupes, below, which are listed as the original destination of inspiration and the dupe that mirrors it.
