Dresden at a glance
For groups Dresden works well because the old town is walkable and the Neustadt takes over for the evening. People travelling in come by train or via the airport north of the city.
For private groups Dresden is easy: everything is walkable or a short public-transport ride away, and after the event the evening continues around the corner.

The right group event for your occasion
Every group is different — and every occasion has its own demands. Here's the right event idea for your specific group event in Dresden.
Corporate Outing
A day out of the office that actually brings the team together. Popular in Dresden: GPS City Rally through the old town or Crime Escape Challenge on location.
Team Event
Want your team to actually know each other better after the event? You need a format that forces real collaboration.
Christmas Party
Instead of a boring restaurant dinner: a programme your team will still remember in January. A hosted Christmas Quiz that involves everyone.
Stag / Hen Party
A great daytime programme and then the party at night — that's the plan. Our group events are perfect as a daytime activity.
Milestone Birthday
30, 40, 50 — a milestone birthday with 20 to 80 guests needs more than just a table and buffet. A hosted group event loosens up all generations.

For sports clubs, school classes or student groups: active group events that engage younger participants too and exclude no one.
