Görlitz

Germany's easternmost city has one of the best-preserved historic centers in Germany, with over 4,000 protected monuments spanning Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture. The medieval old town is anchored by the Untermarkt and Obermarkt squares, the Peterskirche church with its rare 17th-century Sun Organ, and the Kaisertrutz fortress. Located on the Lusatian Neisse River which forms the border with Poland — the eastern half of the historic city is now the Polish town of Zgorzelec. Görlitz survived World War II largely undamaged.
