WHY GO?

A stroll through Görlitz is like a journey through time through half a millennium of European architectural history: around 4,000 restored architectural monuments span the spectrum from the late Gothic to the Baroque to the Renaissance and into the Art Nouveau period.
It’s also the backdrop for many Hollywood films - come and see where Quentin Tarintino and Wes Anderson made their movies. The tour takes you over the border into Poland, back and round through the cobbled streets, and next to centuries old churches, where we will visit the famous Silesian Christmas Market.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?

• St. Peter’s Church: The parish church, built in the 15th century, towers over the Neiße Valley and is hard to miss with its mighty pair of towers and its elaborately constructed copper roof. An architectural masterpiece.
• Old Town Bridge: The Görlitz Old Town Bridge has been around since 1298 connecting Germany with Poland.
• Astronomical Clock: The market square is adorned with a sundial clock, with a face whose eyes watch you as you move
• Görliwood: In recent years, the city has become a popular filming location for many film and television productions, such as Wes Anderson's “The Grand Budapest Hotel”, Quentin Tanrantino's “Inglourious Basterds”, and “Monuments Men”
• Schlesischer Christkindelmarkt Görlitz (Christmas Market): One of the best Christmas Markets in Saxony, the market has an ice skating rink, steam train, picture book cinema and puppet theatre on the stage
