Dresden: Zwinger Museum Entry Ticket

15.Zwinger Museum Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,436 reviews · from $18

Review of Dresden’s Zwinger museum ticket, with Old Masters, porcelain, instruments, practical tips, access details, and value advice.

“Prices for tickets to Zwinger are incorrectly indicated on the website and in the application. Children under 17 are free, from 17 to 18 - 10.5 euros, from 18 - full price. Fix it please. Because it really spoils the mood - when you come to the museum with tickets in the app, and it turns out that you don't actually have half of the tickets, you need to buy them.”
