Berlin to Gorlitz: Private day trip

Walk through a living archive of world cinema in one of Germany's most beautifully preserved historic cities, where seemingly every corner has appeared on screen.

What to see • The Görlitzer Warenhaus, the Art Nouveau department store that became the fictional Mendl's Patisserie in Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel", its ornate staircases even more striking in person than on screen • Untermarkt square, where Tarantino staged scenes from "Inglourious Basterds" • Demianiplatz, where Kate Winslet filmed tram conductor scenes for "The Reader" • The cobblestone streets where Jackie Chan raced through in "Around the World in 80 Days"

What to do • Collect a self-guided film location tour map from the Görlitz tourist information office and follow in the footsteps of the directors • Simply wander, the city is compact enough that every street reveals another filming location, making Görlitz feel like a living museum of cinema
