Zgorzelec

Among the cities of Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Zgorzelec stands out for sharing a historic urban area with Germany’s Görlitz across the Lusatian Neisse. The river has marked the Polish-German border here since the post-war settlement, while both banks still form a closely connected cross-border centre in the historic region of Upper Lusatia. The pedestrian Old Town Bridge, opened in 2004, directly links Zgorzelec with Görlitz’s preserved old town. In 1998, the two municipalities adopted the title European City Görlitz/Zgorzelec, reflecting their cooperation across the river.
