Dresden, on the one hand the baroque art and culture city, on the other hand a young city with numerous scene attractions has quite certainly a very high entertainment value for all age groups. It is perfect if you are a typical city-hopper but also should you like to install yourself somewhere for several weeks: the experience-hungry are guaranteed superb entertainment for all occasions. A search for Dresdens representative of world - cinema can surely be narrowed down to but one special filmtheater, the Ufa Kristallpalast. It might have the right to boast some of Germanys most exciting architecture: the asymmetric, glass-front extends towards the sky, a disputed work of art created out of concrete and a great deal of glass. What the big screen offers here is, however, nothing particularly out of the ordinary. The repertoire includes Hollywood Mainstream, once a week a surprise film and the odd Independently made film. Similar program can be watched in the two other multiplex cinemas of the city, the Bofimax and the UCI Kinowelt. All three have got some reputable taverns and cafés in direct proximity. Somewhat smaller is the Schauburg, yet this is perhaps the cinema with the biggest cult acclaim. It is situated directly in the tavern quarter and is a good starting point for a post-movie evening-out. Here one gets commercial and lesser-known or classic films. The Casablanca, the Kino am Hauptbahnhofor the Programmkino Ostall show films of similar genres. For those who love the theatre, Dresden is a veritable melting pot: the Schauspielhaus shows modern productions of classic pieces and other well-known plays. In the TIF-Theater in der Fabrik, however, things tend to be a little louder and more risqué. Modern pieces address the problems of modern society and the distinctly out of the ordinary. The Schlosstheater captivates audiences with its beautiful backdrop, the Dresdner residence castle. This stages programme is, more often than not, original and alternative. If you prefer to laugh in a more cordial fashion, you should rather head for the Komödie Dresden, the Kabarett Herkuleskeule or the Theaterkahn Dresdner Brettl. Local comedians will surely make you laugh with their Saxon wit. Dresdens nightlife has its roots in one main area: the district of Dresden Neustadt. Nowhere else in Dresden will you stumble across such a concentrated mass of bars, inspired taverns and Cafés. Houses dating from courtly times with colourful, daubed walls and graffiti-decorated buildings characterise area where the bars and a handful of clubs have made their home. The Scheune Café, for example, is the perfect prelude for an evening out. This establishment covers all eventualities: the ground floor offers delightful Indian cuisine and guests return later on to dance the night away on the upper floors to alternative and electronic music. You can get your hands on inexpensive and delicious fodder to suit both large and small appetites in the Pizzeria Al Capone, Café Europa or indeed Café Reale. When visiting the likes of the Blumenau or Raskolnikoff Restaurant, its usually better if you are early, otherwise you are likely to remain standing! Here, it gets crowded at the drop of a hat, as these well-publicised taverns are two favourites amongst Dresdens party-goers. Why not move on to a few cocktails in Mona Lisa, the Studiobar or the plushy Déjà vu? Or perhaps a glass of a wine into the Leonardo, the cosy cellar of Die 100or in the Italian Alimentari? For the more serious night reveller, dancing is next on the programme! Whether you are looking for an alternative experience in the AZ Conni, a fun evening in the funky Down Town or something with a bit more style, in Schleuder Bar Room. There is something suitable for every taste and budget. Fans of Brit Pop should stop off at riesa efauor the Brit-Parade. If you prefer a stunning open-air garden party (in the summer months) you should venture towards the Saloppe. Guitar music prevails in the Star Cluband in the Groove station (directly beside Down Town). Untiring Techno fans should stop by in the Strae Eand note the dates of their annual Boundless Party, in the Showboxx or in the Kühlhaus. The Alter Schlachthof, however, stages alternating Techno-Parties, expertly mixing the big names with newcomers. One can experience summertime nightlife of another type altogether with the Nachtskaten: view Dresdens most beautiful buildings right across the city as part of a large group on roller skates!
