Dresden has several areas of interest depending on what you're looking for. The inner Altstadt is home to historic architecture such as old churches and museums, while the inner Neustadt is where you'll find bars and clubs. Shopping is concentrated along Prager Straße and in the Altmark-Galerie. Certain parts of the city, such as Pieschen, are known for less savory activity like prostitution. The city is noted for being clean and tidy, with efficient public transportation. It is also relatively affordable by German standards, making it potentially appealing for those on a budget. However, the airport is frequently criticized for being inadequate. Demographically, Dresden skews older. Multiple reviewers point out that it feels like a "mausoleum" for younger people, so if you're under 40 and looking for a dynamic scene, it may not be the best fit. There's also local political discontent mentioned (e.g., Pegida), though how much that affects daily life will vary depending on your perspective and expectations.
To increase honesty, reviews are anonymous. You can only add one review per city or it replaces/edits your old one. Reviews with URLs or emails are removed. If you're writing about data being wrong, please don't do it here as it'll be removed here.

Rent is cheap by German standards. Clean and tidy city, good public transport.
Like the rest of East Germany, it’s full of old people. If you’re under 40, don’t come here. Dresden is a mausoleum.

Old Bricks like chuches, museums and other important buildings: (innere) Altstadt.
Bars & Clubs: (innere) Neustadt.
Shopping: Prager Straße + Altmark-Galerie.

The airport is a joke.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.
The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.

@josh_works: "My wife and I are in Buenos Aires right now. Starting this whole nomad thing felt 100x easier once I joined Nomads.com and saw other people just... doing it."
@melissawashin: "I gave my two weeks notice last week, and I'm flying to Portugal in two weeks. It's important to say (for the ninth time) that joining Nomads.com was the best decision I made to best inform and prepare myself for this decision. So thank you a million times over!"
@zackyoung: "You're going to be lonely sometimes and that's okay. One way I combat this is by being a part of Nomads.com and meet up with other remote workers."
