There are differences between the German cities of Dresden and Würzburg. Dresden is the state capital of Saxonia, has four times more inhabitants and offers much more historical splendour. The local dialect also stands out from the Franconian dialect spoken in Würzburg (Bavaria).

And there are things that connect Dresden and Würzburg. Both cities are situated in charming river valleys with a mild climate. And both have universities whose physics faculties are worldwide leaders in the field of topological materials.
