Getting TO/AROUND: It's an easy day trip from Dresden to Goerlitz. The train journey takes about 1,5 hours via Bautzen. If you buy a "Sachsen ticket" for 27 Euro, up to 5 people can travel on it and it's valid on public transport in the cities too.

So, if you had time you could stop in Bautzen on the way back or do as we did, take a train to Zittau and return from there to Dresden.

Getting TO/AROUND: Goerlitz is one of those cities that actually have trams. They currently have two lines running. Both go past the railway station and run through the city center. We did check out the end station Königshufen. But you could also go number two line to the "hill" Landeskrone. If you have a Sachsen ticket, then you can use the tram for free.

We were there on a Saturday and the trams only run every 20 minutes.

While we were figuring out what to do, we were surprised by a vintage tram. If you want to ride on that one, then you have to hire the whole carriage in advance. (picture 2).
