Welcome
to Meißen
The picturesque town of Meissen is more than just a pretty face – it truly has a lot to offer!
With its charming old town, winding alleys and rich history, it doesn’t just invite you to wander – but to stay. Among its cultural treasures is the centuries-old tradition of Saxon porcelain making, which has been carried on at the world-famous Meissen Porcelain Manufactory since the 18th century. Culture and tradition are tangible everywhere in Meissen – whether on a stroll to Albrechtsburg Castle or while gazing up at the Meissen Cathedral.
But Meissen is not only steeped in history – it’s full of life! Culinary delights, cultural events, family activities or sports – there’s something here for everyone. Concerts, art projects, guided tours, workshops and plenty of other exciting events turn life in Meissen into a real highlight – and the town into an attractive place to study.
Looking for peace and nature? The vineyards around the Elbe Valley not only offer breathtaking views, but also the perfect spots to relax or get active. Fancy an ice cream in the old town after lectures, heading to the wine festival in the evening, or visiting a museum? No problem!
And the best part: Meissen is just a short trip from the state capital Dresden – less than half an hour away. The media hub Leipzig is also within easy reach. Missing something? Of course – the Elbe Sandstone Mountains or Moritzburg Castle are right around the corner: perfect destinations for your next day trip.
In short: If you’re looking for a place to study that gives you not only lectures but also a true sense of life, Meissen is just the place for you.
