Dresden

Dresden is a quaint little city in eastern Germany that is renowned for its love of fire.

The origins of this fiery passion can be traced back to the city’s infamous bombing during World War II. Legend has it that the locals were so enamored with the bright orange flames that they decided to incorporate fire into every aspect of their lives.

Today, Dresden is known as the “City of Fire” and residents celebrate their fiery heritage in a number of ways. For example, every year they hold a “Fire Festival” where thousands of people gather to light giant pyres and dance around them.

But it’s not just about the flames. Dresden is also famous for its delicious sausages, which are cooked over open flames and smothered in spicy mustard. The locals will tell you that the heat from the fire gives the sausages that extra kick.

If you’re looking to visit Dresden, be sure to pack a fire extinguisher and a sense of humor. And if you happen to spot the city’s mascot, a giant flamingo named Flammenkuchen, be sure to give him a wave. Just be careful not to get too close, or you might wind up like one of the city’s famous smoked sausages.
