Altmarkt Galerie

The Altmarkt Galerie is a lovely old building now filled with shops of every description.  Protected as a historic monument it is now the second-largest shopping mall in urban Dresden.

Shops of every description are located in the centre and the first floor alone may be enough to keep you busy for hours. There is an entrance from Postplatz Square handy for those using public transportation, and a parking station for people coming by car. The shopping centre is open from 9.30 – 9pm Closed Sundays.
