🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Berlin Central Bus Station (ZOB) → Görlitz Bus Station (Am Bahnhof)
💡 Book online 2 weeks ahead for €10 fares. The stop is a 10-minute walk from Alte Seilerei—head straight down Bahnhofstrasse, then left on Brüderstrasse. No luggage storage on the bus, so keep bags under your seat.
Dresden Airport (DRS) → Ferienwohnung Alte Seilerei, Görlitz
💡 Use Görlitzer Taxi GmbH (+49 3581 88990) for fixed-rate airport transfers—costs €110-130. Ask for a 'Firmenfahrpreis' (company fare) to avoid meter surges. Drop-off is directly on Alte Seilerei lane, but note the cobblestones: small wheels struggle.
Görlitz Railway Station → Stadthalle (5-min walk to Alte Seilerei)
💡 Buy a single ticket from the driver (cash only) or use the VVO app. Get off at Stadthalle, walk east on Demianiplatz, then right onto Alte Seilerei. The tram is unreliable after 21:00—switch to walking (15 mins) or a night taxi (€8 flat).
Dresden Airport (DRS) → Görlitz Railway Station (Bahnhof Görlitz)
💡 Buy a Sachsen-Ticket (€24) for up to 5 people at the airport DB machine. Change trains at Dresden Hauptbahnhof—platform 3 to 4 is a short walk but no lift, so pack light.

Top Attractions in Goerlitz
💡 Cross the Neisse footbridge from the bastion to Poland for an even better perspective—you don't need a passport, just walk. Best at sunset when the old town glows pink.
💡 Visit mid-afternoon when the sun cuts through the stained glass rose window. The carved stone altars inside are worth a close look. Free guided tours in German happen Saturdays at 2pm—ask at the tourist office for English sheets.
💡 Go early morning (around 8am) to avoid crowds and catch the best light for photos on the cobbled streets. Look for the Wendische Haus on Neißstraße—one of the oldest houses.
💡 Take the bus line 12 from Demianiplatz to 'Landeskrone' stop if walking feels long. The tower entry costs €1, but the walk and views are free. Bring binoculars—you can see the Königshain hills on clear days.
💡 Buy tickets at the tourist office on Obermarkt. Wear sturdy shoes—some floors are uneven and damp. The tour takes about 45 minutes and is well-marked with info boards. Go early to avoid queueing.
