Why Kunsthofpassage matters

In Dresden's Neustadt you will find a chain of courtyards, each decorated with a different theme. One has a wall that makes music when it rains, another is covered with mosaic. Small shops, galleries and cafes make it a nice detour after the baroque centre.

Talking points

  • Each courtyard has its own artistic theme
  • There is a rain-activated musical facade
  • Small shops and cafes fill the area
