Quite far away from nearly every place in Germany
In a nutshell
A gem to be discovered
Organ music in St. Peter and Paul
King_Golo Says: St.Peter and Paul is located directly next to the river Neisse on a small hill overlooking the river. You've got a good view over Zgorzelec from here.St.Peter and Paul is famous for its organ, so if you're lucky and hear it, go in and listen!
Shopping in an art nouveau building
King_Golo Says: Görlitz is Germany's only city that has preserved a beautiful art nouveau style shopping center from the early 20th century. It's located at Marienplatz and doesn't look too impressive from the outside - not comparable with other art nouveau gems to be found in Prague or...
King_Golo Says: Görlitz's centre features some wonderful old houses, many of them located at the Oberer Markt (Upper Market Square). The lower market with the impressive houses around the townhall is beautiful, too, and should not be missed.
King_Golo Says: The Dreifaltigkeitskirche (Trinity Church) is interesting due to the five different architectural styles used when building it. It was started as a romanic church, but later parts in gothic, baroque, renaissance and art nouveau were added. The woman at the desk next to the...
Hotel Silesia: Goelitz Best Kept Secret :-)
DAVENTURE Says: Goerlitz is the most eastern town of Germany you can get, in fact - half of the town in literally in Poland with the border in the middle; this hotel has the clean feeling of a business hotel with all the trimmings of a family run concern.I was very impressed how I was made...
Patrizierhaus St. Jonathan: Good food, giant servings
King_Golo Says: St.Jonathan sells very good food at reasonable prices. The servings are huge! Any kind of pork steak will be fine

Obak81 Says: There are hourly trains to Cottbus operated by the LausitzBahn. The trip to Cottbus takes 1 hour 20 min. (approximately).Inside the trains it is possible to buy coffee, tea, and a variety of sodas and candy.
Obak81 Says: The trainstation in Gorlitz is an old building with several shops and travel info in the main hall. If you are taking the a train to/from Poland this is also here that you will probably shift trains. The station is serviced by the Lausitzbahn and connections are available to...
King_Golo Says: Don't ask me, why these fellows have placed a cow on their balcony, but I thought it to be a nice picture...Admirable at Marienplatz opposite the shopping center
King_Golo Says: Görlitz is actually a two-parts city. The other part of the city belongs to Poland and is called Zgorzelec. If you have your passport or ID with you, it should be no problem to visit Zgorzelec as well - that is, unless you need a visa. There are some nice areas, too,...

Further east isn't possible...
Görlitz is the easternmost town in Germany. It's a border town to Poland and would probably be the furthest hinterland possible, were it not for it's wonderful city centre. The town survived the war...
