About Görlitz
Görlitz is Germany's easternmost town, home to about 56,000 people, and it sits on the Neisse river opposite its Polish twin, Zgorzelec. The town was spared major destruction in the Second World War, and the Upper Market Square, laid out around 1250, is the largest square in its historic part. A pedestrian bridge crosses the river, and from the far bank you get a different view of the old town. The homes sit close together around the centre. Eating out is fairly cheap compared with Dresden or Berlin. Landeskrone, the local hill, rises about 200 metres above the town.
Is Görlitz right for you?
- Best for
- Couples and old-town browsers who want day trips into Poland
- Not for you if
- You want serious mountain walking, since the local hill, Landeskrone, rises only about 200 metres above the town.

Görlitz villa holidays: questions answered
Can you walk from Görlitz into Poland?
Yes. A pedestrian bridge crosses the Neisse from the old town into Zgorzelec, and there are no border controls between the two banks. The tram does not cross the river, so walking is the simple way over.
Is Görlitz worth visiting for its architecture?
Yes, because the town was spared major destruction in the Second World War. Görlitz was the primary shooting location for The Grand Budapest Hotel, and The Reader and The Book Thief were also filmed here.
How long is the train from Dresden to Görlitz?
Around an hour. Regional trains run frequently on the route. Berlin is slower, at three to four hours by train with at least one change.
Are Görlitz homes suitable for large groups?
Not really. Homes here are mostly small and sleep up to about four people, so groups of six or more will struggle to find a single home that fits.
