Görlitz is often referred to as the city of towers. Visit the preserved medieval city towers on a walking tour. On certain dates, it is also possible to visit all the towers in one day. A particularly beautiful view of the city is offered by the 360° viewing platform of the town hall tower. In rainy weather and frost, the town hall tower is not accessible.
