Dresden Lighthouse is a prominent tourist attraction in the city. Tourists flock to the lighthouse to see the entire city from the top at a height of 27 meters. The number of visitors to the lighthouse was estimated at about 500,000 during the first two years of its construction only. The lighthouse provides a charming panoramic view of the city as a whole from the top. This view is most charming in the evening hours to see the city fully lit. The lighthouse includes a valuable art gallery containing many paintings and drawings dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
