Meissen in Germany has become famous all over the world for its porcelain. You can encounter not only the most exquisite ceramics, but also an elegant town that looks back on more than 1,000 years of history.
The late-Gothic castle of Albrechtsburg is well worth a visit on its own. Perched high above the Elbe River, it was Germany's first castle to be built solely as a residence. Today it houses a number of fine museums and collections, in which porcelain – the town's great passion – plays an unsurprisingly prominent role.
Meißen is truly beautiful and I wish I could do a bit more than a short walk. It reminds me some cities from the Czech Republic and Poland. Enjoy this walking tour of Germany, Meissen - city of porcelain.
