The appropriately named Grosser Garten (Great Garden) is a relaxing refuge during the warmer months.
The centerpiece of the park is the Summer Palace, a Baroque masterpiece from the 17th century. It is one of the earliest examples of Baroque architecture in Germany.
The area around the palace has been a public park since 1814. Now the biggest park in Dresden, it is home to the Zoo Dresden and the Botanical Garden where visitors can explore a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers. From April to October a miniature train rides around the park.
