isitors who enter the Altmarkt- Galerie in Dresden, under the roof of the historic building that was formerly the Intecta department store and was integrated into the Center as part of the 2011 exten- sion, find a very special culinary highlight waiting for them. On two levels and covering nearly 900 m², an event space has been created in which a team some twenty strong put on a real celebration of indulgent con- sumption: the Viba-Erlebnis-Con- fiserie & Café is making more and more of a name for itself as a go- to venue for people from Dresden and Saxony and visitors to the city and region from around the world. V THE WORLD OF NOUGAT AND CHOCOLATE IN DRESDEN’S ALTMARKT-GALERIE It’s a place where every visit is meant to be an experience, whether it’s to enjoy a cup of cof- fee with home-made desserts or a bowl of nougat ice cream, to browse and perhaps buy in a shop full of presents or have fun with friends and family. One special attraction is the courses in which visitors can take their part in making confectionery an experience. These give visitors a chance to try out the craft prac- tised by Viba’s confectioners and are a complete blast for young and old alike. A variety of try-it- yourself courses offer insights into how to handle the ingredients and into the art of making choco- late, nougat and fillings. And anyone who finds that the refinements of the confec- tioner’s craft give them an appe- tite can give themselves a treat in the restaurant, which has space for 80 guests and offers lots of home-made specialities. Visitors are spoiled for choice at break- fast, lunch or dinner, or indeed at any time of the day. And the culi- nary delights are matched by the glorious view of the Frauenkirche and the Old Market.
