From Hentschel
/* What to see */
Before doing anything else, have the hotel staff help you making reservations for the '''Green Vault''', a museum that houses some of the most precious artifacts that the Saxon king collected. Don't miss to see that, but you have to get a reserved spot, and you most likely won't get tickets for the same day (sometimes not even for the next day).
The area around the '''Frauenkirche''' is called the '''Neumarkt''' and has some good shops and restaurants. On the southern end is a small alley called '''Muenzgasse''', at the lower end (towards the river) is a bratwurst stand that has some of the best grilled brats that you can find in Germany.
Up the stairs from here is the '''Bruehlsche Terrasse''. Head towards the left (towards the old stone bridge), and you'll find the '''Royal Palace''', the '''Royal Church''' and further down the '''Semper Opera house'''.
