Europe's historic porcelain capital. Albrechtsburg — a late Gothic castle and the oldest of its kind in Germany. The Meissen Porcelain Manufactory, founded in 1710, produced Europe's first hard-paste porcelain.
Visit the porcelain manufactory before 11am for the best hands-on experience, then climb to the Albrechtsburg for the vaulted ceilings — the combined ticket is excellent value — and end with local Meissen wine on the Elbe terrace.
