Rick Steves was in Dresden to research his new book, and I was his guide!!
It was amazing to guide such a famous travel expert through Dresden's streets, soaking in his enthusiasm for my city. He had been here earlier of course, when he first wrote the book. But this was for his new edition and we carefully went over every line in his older one to see what had changed. And is Rick thorough! When you read the book, know that he himself has walked every inch of that route and examined exact details of what you will see. Throughout the day, we chatted about Dresden's historical and architectural marvels, as well as its art treasures. Rick was fascinated by the city's commitment to continuous revival and transformation. Walking out of the Old Masters Gallery, Rick turned to me and asked in all seriousness: would it not be right to say that Dresden is the cultural heart of Germany? It was music to my ears. His enthusiasm for travel and discovery has infected millions of travellers through the years, and it was incredible to see the city through his eyes. I can't wait to see how Dresden will be featured in his new book, knowing our day together played a part in it. Do leave a comment and tell me what you think about Rick Steves' book.
