2Görlitz: A Hidden Architectural Gem
Often called “Germany’s most beautiful town,” Görlitz is a hidden gem located on the eastern border with Poland. The town’s stunning architecture spans several centuries, including Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau styles. This well-preserved town has earned a reputation as a popular filming location for Hollywood movies, thanks to its timeless beauty.
One of the highlights of Görlitz is its meticulously restored old town, which is filled with elegant townhouses, beautiful churches, and impressive public buildings. Strolling through the town’s squares and streets is like walking through an open-air museum. The town’s Altstadtbrücke (Old Town Bridge) offers scenic views of the Neisse River, which forms the border between Germany and Poland.
