    • The Nikolaiturm was once part of the city gate and dates back to 1348. This barren little street was very close to the Peterskirche and I only wish I had had more time to walk past the sentinel-like structure and into the oldest recorded settlement of town that features the Nikolaikirche and Nikolai Friedhof. Another thing to look forward to along with perhaps a Christmas market this December! 

    • In a town like Görlitz all you have to do is walk away from two or three main areas and you're literally on a street with not a soul in site. This was just off Bruderstrasse so if you want some peace and quiet, it's never far off.

    • Zgorzelec can be viewed from the upper terrace of the Peterskirche but it would be a nice place to make an excursion to if you had your passport with you. I unfortunately didn't so had to content myself with this birds eye view of the Polish twin city of Görlitz. The bridge that links the two was destroyed after WWII but with it being after reunification, it's an easy stroll and worth doing even if you can't make it all away to the other side!

     Görlitz looks like a great place to discover! I love these type of off the beaten path places with those quiet picturesque streets! Maybe some day I can put Sachsen and Görlitz on my travelmap :-))
