They used the motor the whole time, the sails were basically decoration.
It felt like we just went in circles. We didn't see any new sights/views or go far away from where we started. No information was given about what we were seeing.
The captain was super friendly at first, but when we tried to ask questions, he seemed annoyed. Then, he was friendly again at the end when making jokes to explicitly ask for tips, which we found very uncouth.
You can't bring any drinks, not even water, as they want to sell you drinks.
The seats are not cushioned and were uncomfortable.
It was nice to be on a boat, but for $40 a ticket, it did not seem worth it.

We were unable to go inside and the courtyard was a huge construction site. However the buildings were still a beautiful sight to see, even if only from the outside.

Gorgeous building! Visiting here is a must if you are in Dresden. I am sure it would be amazing to see a show here. I recommend going on a guided tour at night. The only disappointing thing is the tour is advertised as "Behind the curtains" but you do not go backstage and cannot even see the stage due to a huge fire-safety door.

Beautiful cathedral. In the back they have a small gift shop. You can get audio guides or you can pay 8€ to go into the treasury but we thought it was too expensive so we didn't. There was a choir practicing while we were there which was a pleasant surprise.

Great view of the city. Nice place to get the black forest cake with coffee or have a cocktail. Their meals are quite expensive though. We were able to get a seat without having a reservation. Would recommend after taking the cable car up Schlossberg.
