In Görlitz, an eastern German town of about 50,000, you'll explore a remarkably well preserved historic centre with over 3,500 architectural monuments spanning 500 years. As you move through the streets, you'll notice medieval buildings that escaped the Second World War bombings, late 19th‑century squares and ornate Art Nouveau houses that together give the town a distinctive character.
Along the way you'll pass the Schönhof, the oldest civil Renaissance building in Germany and a former brewery, noted as one of the town’s most splendid structures. You will see St Peter and Paul Parish Church, built between 1425 and 1497, which is the largest church in Saxony and whose towers are visible from the old town. If you choose, you may climb the Reichenbacher Turm’s 165 steps to the top of the fortification tower for a great view over the city. The experience will highlight Görlitz’s architectural variety, and you’ll have a taste of the local beer as part of your visit.
