    Although Görlitz is a small city and very easily walkable you may be tired after walking the cobbled streets :-). An alternative is to take the tram back to your hotel, the railway station or wherever. For a visit of the Landeskrone hill south of Görlitz it is a must.

    An excellent route to explore the city is the tram which runs from the Landeskrone hill (foot) via railway station through the 19th century district (and shopping street Berliner Strasse) to the Holy Sepulchre - Heiliges Grab (final stop Königshufen).

    Single-Trip-Ticket 1.10 Euro
    Four-Trips-Ticket 3.50 Euro
    Day-Ticket 3.00 Euro
    Day-Ticket for 5 people travelling together 6.50 Euro

    It's an easy day trip from Dresden to Goerlitz. The train journey takes about 1,5 hours via Bautzen. If you buy a "Sachsen ticket" for 27 Euro, up to 5 people can travel on it and it's valid on public transport in the cities too.

    So, if you had time you could stop in Bautzen on the way back or do as we did, take a train to Zittau and return from there to Dresden.

    Goerlitz is one of those cities that actually have trams. They currently have two lines running. Both go past the railway station and run through the city center. We did check out the end station Königshufen. But you could also go number two line to the "hill" Landeskrone. If you have a Sachsen ticket, then you can use the tram for free.

    We were there on a Saturday and the trams only run every 20 minutes.

    While we were figuring out what to do, we were surprised by a vintage tram. If you want to ride on that one, then you have to hire the whole carriage in advance. (picture 2).

    There are hourly trains from Dresden that stop in Görlitz and take about an hour but this was a family outing and my new father-in-law was out to show his new and intrepid son-in-law that he knew a thing or two about off the beaten path places. I had to admit he did. It was a scenic ride from Dresden passing beautiful pastoral scenes as well as medieval looking gems like Bautzen (maybe next time). No, this Trabant is not his car, but it is a very typical old car of the former East Germany.

    There are some bicycle paths that pass through Goerlitz and also into Poland. Bicycles are also the only means of transport that are allowed on the Old Town Bridge.

    From Goerlitz you can take a train to Wroclaw in Poland. The journey would take around 3 hours.

    Görlitz is easily accessible by railway. It is located on the route Dresden - Wroclaw.

    Regional trains take about an hour from Dresden and run every hour.

    When arriving by train, have a closer look at the train station building. It is a pre-World War I Jugendstil (art nouveau) architecture. In the main hall, the art nouveau ornaments and the general impression are well preserved.
