Görlitz in one day

Más información sobre el libro

'For many, simply the most beautiful city in Germany' is Görlitz’s advertising slogan, and it’s no exaggeration. Having blossomed into one of the largest and most important trading centres in Central Europe in the late Middle Ages, Görlitz fortunately escaped serious destruction in the Second World War. As a result, the city has a remarkable and virtually unrivalled concentration of high-quality historic buildings, ranging from Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance to Baroque and Art Nouveau. This self-guided walking tour of the city offers a variety of impressions of Görlitz and allows the visitor to experience its 950-year-old history at first hand in just one day. Besides its many sights, Görlitz has an excellent selection of restaurants and bars, which this guide points out as you explore the city.
