IMPORTANT: waitstaff did not speak English, so make sure you've brushed up on your german and/or polish before you go. And don't be surprised by that, Gorlitz is not a foreign tourist spot... its where the Germans go to get away. Stay in Gorlitz and walk across the walking bridge by the big church along the river. They have free Wifi... so yes after dinner we walked to Poland for free internet and Zywiec :-) Grab a table with a view of Germany, order pierogies, 2 Zywiec and enjoy your afternoon or early evening for next to nothing. The euro will go a long way, and if you're extra thrifty walk up the street in poland to the little liquor store and buy some vodka to take back with you. Glad we found this spot so I could make my american polish relatives jealous :-) read more

Piwnica Staromiejska - Pierogies und bier! - Pierogis Near Me - Zgorzelec, DS

An easy international excursion from Goerlitz Germany. (Cross the pedestrian only bridge, turn left, and descend a small staircase). Prices are outrageously good since it's in Poland. I had Pirogis which were just ok and my wife ordered Chicken with mushrooms which was better. I also had a large beer, she a hot chocolate, and we ordered dessert of an old Polish apple cake and an Irish Coffee. All of that came to 87 zloty or under $20 USD. It is the only convenient Polish restaurant for pedestrians in Goerlitz and I would stop in again given the chance. read more
