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.
