Tour bus highlights Dresden's premier
attraction,
the Zwinger Museum
In 1961, as a college graduate on a grand
tour of Europe with a friend, we chanced to arrive in Berlin on
August 16, three days after the East Germans had closed the border.
We found the city fascinating and after continuing on to Copenhagen
and dropping my friend off so he could proceed to law school,
I returned to Berlin. Having heard of Dresden, I went to the East
German tourist bureau (you could take the train from the West
to Friedrichstrasse in the East) and convinced them I was a student
of art and upon prepayment they gave me coupons for a hotel, meals,
museum admission, and gasoline. This trip was taken in 1998 around
Easter week so that I could show my wife this city, Berlin, and
to visit a friend from graduate school in Warsaw.
