Transferring on a Germany tour from Herleshausen to Dresden on Day 1. Then, tour guide has us for a day in Dresden on Day 2. On Day 3, tour guide suggests a day in Meissen, Grossenhein and Zabelitz.
Is this practical? Should I just spend day 3 in Meissen?
Need help fast.
Don't get me wrong, I like both Zabeltitz and Großenhain a lot, but they are not recommended for a first time visitor in the area. Definitely spend all your time in Meißen - plenty to do there. Castle Albrechtsburg plus cathedral, the porcelain manufacture, the picturesque old town with Frauenkirche and lots of cafes, restaurants, shops. Don't miss the local wine (several shops and wine bars in the old town).
I have not been to the other 2 but twice in Meißen as day trips.
My suggestion is spend day #3 in Meißen as it is considered "Die Wiege Sachsens" (the birthplace, cradle of Saxony)
