Meissen porcelain — the first European porcelain, produced here since 1708 — is the defining reason to visit this Saxon town on the River Elbe, a short distance north-west of Dresden. The medieval Albrechtsburg castle and Gothic cathedral rise above the old centre, and the town sits at the edge of the Saxon Wine Region and within reach of the Saxon Switzerland mountain range.
