From Hentschel
/* Neumarkt and Downtown */
Walk through the gate and back into the old city, and head back towards the church. Along the way is the '''Fuerstenzug''', a 300 ft long mural entirely made of porcelain that shows all the ancestral portraits of the Wettin Dynasty, the ruling family of Saxony in these days. The creator of the mural has a cameo in the procession, it is the last figure depicted.
==== Steam boat ride on the river ====
Right in front of the '''Muenzgasse''' exit to the river, there is a '''historic steam boat fleet''' (https://www.dresden.de/en/tourism/attractions/sights/city_region/saxon-steamship-company.php) that offers excursions up the river. With some luck, you may get same day tickets if you're early, otherwise reserve for the next day. Make sure to get a trip on one of the old steam ships, not the more modern diesel powered ships. A trip up to '''Pillnitz castle''' (and back) gives you some nice views of Dresden along the river and takes about 3 hours or so.
