experience Görlitz
Görlitz is known as perhaps the most beautiful city in Germany and boasts over 4,000 listed monuments, making it the largest area of listed monuments in Germany. The special architecture across four stylistic eras has also attracted filmmakers from all over the world. We are very pleased about this, and are grateful, and proud of it.
But Görlitz can do even more. There is a wealth of special features in our city that we would like to show you-the small shops, the interesting people, the extraordinary events, and fun offers.
