Guidebook author and travel TV host Rick Steves is America's most respected authority on European travel.

Saxony, part of the former East Germany, remains a secret to most travelers. On this episode, Rick visits the two great cities of the region: the capital city of Dresden, with the opulent palaces and art treasures of the Wettin dynasty, and Leipzig, with its Bach heritage, a massive monument to the day Europe beat Napoleon, and museums remembering its communist heritage.
