Dresden Riverbank

I fell in love with the grandeur of Dresden, on the Elbe River in Germany. One aspect I love about the city is that on side of the river, the bank is built up with the buildings and cobblestones of old Dresden (largely rebuilt after the war), whereas the other side of the riverbank is in its natural state! I can't remember seeing that in any other major city. There's people walking and riding bikes and there's a grassy beergarden where you can buy a weissbier and take in the view. Beyond that is Neustadt, the edgy, gritty part of the city with great bars and nightlife.
