Highlights
Görlitz is Germany's easternmost town, and film crews call its untouched old town Görliwood: almost 4,000 listed buildings, unbombed since the war, have stood in for Paris, Warsaw and the Grand Budapest Hotel. This self-guided audio tour lets you explore that skyline at your own pace. There's no physical guide and no app to download — everything runs on your smartphone, with a short audio story and an interactive quiz at each of the 9 stops. Start anytime, pause whenever you like, and walk the route in your own time. Audio and text are available in 7 languages, and the tour comes with a free eSIM so your map and audio work the moment you arrive, with no roaming charges.

Itinerary
View the unique sacred architecture of The Holy Sepulchre complex, a late-Gothic replica of Jerusalem's holiest shrine built in 1504, from Heilige-Grab-Straße.
Marvel at the imposing stone fortifications of the Kaisertrutz Bastion, a 1490 artillery fortress on Platz des 17. Juni that once guarded the old west gate.
Discover Kaufhaus Görlitz, Germany's best-preserved early-20th-century department store, famously featured as the lobby of Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Stand in the expansive open space of the Upper Market Square, once a mandatory stop for merchants on the medieval Via Regia trade route, to admire the historic Baroque facades.
Admire the Schönhof, the oldest Renaissance building in Germany, now home to the Silesian Museum's exhibits on the region's shared German-Polish-Czech history.
Look up at the Old Town Hall's Renaissance tower and grand external staircase on Untermarkt, adorned with a figure of Justitia holding her scales.
Wander through the Lower Market Square, lined with grand merchant houses from Görlitz's medieval trading heyday and framed by the twin spires of Peterskirche.
Marvel at the twin Gothic spires of the Church of St. Peter and Paul, home to the famous 'Sun Organ' with its sun and moon motifs above the pipes.
Finish at the Altstadtbrücke, the footbridge across the Neisse River that links Görlitz to its twin town of Zgorzelec, Poland, marking the end of your walk.
