Don't miss this amazing collection! You need to reserve tickets and entry is every half hour. Some tickets are held back and sold for that day, when the box office opens at 9 AM. There is usually a line, so you need to get there early. More

The historic green vault was amazing. It is definitely worthwhile to reserve your tickets in advance on their website. Be sure you pick a time that you will be able to make, as they are strict about only allowing you in during the time period purchased. You do have to pay to check your coats/bags first. The audio guide is... More

Although a paradox, the money spent by August II and III on these treasures and the amount for tickets (includes audioguide), the treasures are phenomenal blending of precious metals, materials, and jewels. More

Your jaw will drop from the treasures displayed at this museum. Go early in the morning and take your time to take in all of it. More

We reserved tickets months ahead for the Historic Green Vault and were not disappointed. The included audio guide gives a nice explanation of selected items and of the rooms in general, enough for most visitors.

If you go to Dresden, don't miss this. Not only the historic Green vault, but also the new one is outstanding. As a matter of fact, we liked the latter even more.
