Information for tourists
On June 4th and 5th, 2009, you might have the chance to see Barack Obama in Dresden! The US president and (probably) his wife will admire the historical beauty of the city. There might also be an opportunity to meet Obama – don't miss it!
Welcome to Dresden!
It is clear that every state visit of that importance must be very well secured. If there will be special security measures in the hotel of your choice, please check directly with that hotel. The police has started to inform hotel and shop owners about the necessary safety measures.
