    The Augustus Bridge is one of many bridges that connect the north bank with the Old Town of Dresden. But it's probably the only one with perfect views of all of the old town, not to mention the great views over the River Elbe. From afar, the bridge looks magnificent by day and beautifully lit up at night. Close up, it's not so nice because of renovation work that cover virtually all of the bridge.

    (Translated by Google) It deserves 5 stars, but is currently (autumn 2020) closed due to construction work, the tram lines diverted, the Theaterplatz stop is no longer available. In GDR times it was called "Dimitroff-Brücke", but they came to terms with this name and said that August the Strong would always have ordered "the one with shout" when he crossed the river when he saw a pretty girl. like the new name of the bridge. Incidentally, the arches were much narrower back then, you can still see that in Belotto's vedute under the name Canaletto in the Alte Meister painting gallery, but more space was needed for the ships, so they had to be rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century - but one tried to come close to the old view, and whoever does not know that, hardly sees it either! (Original) Sie verdient 5 Sterne, ist aber derzeit (Herbst 2020) wegen Bauarbeiten leider gesperrt, die Tram-Linien umgeleitet, die Haltestelle Theaterplatz entfällt. Zu DDR-Zeiten hieß sie "Dimitroff-Brücke", aber man arrangierte sich mit diesem Namen und meinte, August der Starke hätte bei der Überfahrt mit seiner Kutsche beim Anblick eines hübschen Mädchens immer geordert, "die mit ruff", was so klang, wie der neue Name der Brücke. Die Bögen standen übrigens damals viel enger, das kann man noch an Belottos Veduten unter dem Namen Canaletto in der Gemälde-Galerie Alte Meister sehen, aber für die Schiffe brauchte man mehr Platz, so musste sie Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts umgebaut werden - wobei man sich bemühte, der alten Ansicht nahe zu kommen, und wer das nicht weiß, sieht es wohl auch kaum!

    Augustusbrucke (Augustus Bridge) is the main crossing over the Elbe River, linking the historic city centre (south) to Innere Neustadt (north). You can walk this bridge or take a tram conveniently while sightseeing in Dresden. Historically, there seem to have been bridges located at this location since the 12th century. However, the present 9 arch sandstone bridge was constructed between 1907-1910. It is a simple and functional bridge, not a decorative structure like much of what you see in the buildings around Dresden. In this manner, have a look at Augustusbrucke if you are particularly interested in bridges or simply make use when crossing the Elbe River. If walking, stop midway and admire the attractive Bruehl Terrace, Palace buildings and church domes of the old city.

    It’s so nice to walk along this bridge, especially in the evening, because you have an amazing view of the architecture and the river. There are also musicians a long the path.

  • 5/5 Akira R. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a beautiful and large stone bridge over the Elbe River. The main buildings of the city are clearly visible. If you are crossing the bridge from the old town, please do not turn around until you pass the middle of the bridge. There is a beautiful view past the halfway point. Then you will understand why Dresden is called the Florence of Germany. At last tram go through the this bridge, so please take care.

  • 4/5 Carlos U. 10 months ago on Google
    The central position of this bridge connecting north to south is a must visit when in Dresden. Well worth the walk. I think the only disappointment is that the river looks to have shrunk a lot over the years. Shame it’s not and proper looking river.

    Augustusbrücke, also known as Augustus Bridge, is a famous historic bridge in Dresden, Germany. It spans across the Elbe River and connects the old town on one side with the Neustadt district on the other. The bridge was originally built in the early 18th century and has undergone several reconstructions due to damages during wars and floods. Augustusbrücke is an iconic architectural landmark, featuring an elegant Baroque design with statues and sculptures adorning its sides. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Dresden skyline, including the Dresden Castle, the Zwinger, and the famous domes and spires, while walking across the bridge. The Augustusbrücke remains a beloved symbol of the city's history and beauty.

    Still under renovation but a great bridge to see all the old buildings. It's a pity that only one side of the road is open to public. Can't take photos from another side.

  • 5/5 Sankynymous (. 4 years ago on Google
    The shortest and most scenic bridge among all in Dresden. Unfortunately it's in construction but still you can walk cross the bridge and enjoy the view. In the night of New year Eve you can see the beautiful fireworks all over the city. It has a nice Biergarten just the end of the bridge with amazing view of Elbe River. At night it's the most live place.

    (Translated by Google) Emblematic bridge of the city that connects the historic center (Altstadt) with the modern and more alternative part (Neustadt). It has been undergoing restoration for about two years and the works still need to be completed, so at this time it is better to look for an alternative route. When the works are finished, it will be a unique place to enjoy the wonderful views of the city (Original) Puente emblemático de la ciudad que conecta el casco histórico (Altstadt) con la parte moderna y más alternativa (Neustadt). Desde hace unos dos años se encuentra en restauración y aún le falta para concluir las obras, por lo que en este momento es mejor buscar una ruta alternativa. Cuando estén las obras finalizadas, será un lugar único para disfrutar de las maravillosas vistas de la ciudad

    (Translated by Google) They have been building the bridge for 4 years, which is why the infrastructure is limited. However, it was also necessary and the first results of the 4 years of work have been really nice. My little personal highlight is that the crane was decorated with a Christmas tree including a chain of lights during the Christmas season. Its location made it possible to see it for miles. Thanks for that! (Original) Seit 4 Jahren bauen sie jetzt an der Brücke, weshalb die Infrastruktur eingeschränkt ist. Allerdings war es auch notwendig und die ersten Ergebnisse der 4-jährigen Arbeit sind wirklich schön geworden. Mein kleines persönliches Highlight ist, dass der Kran in der Weihnachtszeit mit einem Tannenbaum inklusive Lichterkette geschmückt wurde. Durch seine Lage konnte man ihn Kilometer weit sehen. Danke dafür!
