Über Ihre Reise

Journey from Dresden through Saxony's cultural treasures to Görliwood—Germany's answer to Hollywood, where over 100 films have transformed medieval streets into cinematic gold. This route connects porcelain-making heritage in Meissen with Görlitz, named Europe's best film location of the decade for hosting Oscar-winning productions like The Grand Budapest Hotel, Inglourious Basterds, and The Reader. Görlitz's remarkable survival through WWII left 4,000 historic buildings intact across 500 years of architecture, creating the most versatile film backdrop in Central Europe—standing in for everywhere from Paris to New York.

Stopp: 2 h 30 Min - Eintritt nicht inbegriffen

Reiseroute Stop in Meissen auf privatem Tagesausflug von Dresden

Discover Meissen, the "cradle of European porcelain" perched dramatically above the Elbe River, where cobalt-blue crossed swords have marked the continent's finest china since 1710. The hilltop Albrechtsburg castle—Germany's oldest, built in 1471—dominates the skyline alongside the Gothic Cathedral, their spires visible for miles across the river valley. Augustus the Strong established the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory here after alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger accidentally discovered the formula for "white gold" while trying to create actual gold, ending Asia's centuries-long monopoly on porcelain production. 

Gorlitz

Fühlen Sie sich frei, in Ihrem eigenen Tempo zu erkunden und zu entdecken

Stopp: 2 Stunden - Eintritt nicht inbegriffen

Reiseroute Stop in Gorlitz auf privatem Tagesausflug von Dresden

Step into Gorliwood, the nickname earned by Germany's easternmost city for hosting over 100 film productions since the 1950s, including three Oscar-winning movies that made this UNESCO-protected medieval gem Europe's film location of the decade. The Grand Budapest Hotel filmed primarily at the Görlitzer Warenhaus Department Store, whose Art Nouveau architecture became the iconic hotel lobby, while Quentin Tarantino turned Untermarkt square into a bloodbath scene for Inglourious Basterds starring Brad Pitt and Kate Winslet, filmed at Demianiplatz for The Reader, winning her Oscar. Gorlitz's 4,000 historic buildings spanning 500 years remained miraculously intact through WWII—the RAF never bombed this far east—creating Central Europe's best-preserved architectural ensemble. Follow the Walk of Gorliwood through streets that doubled for New York, Paris, Berlin, and Frankfurt, with film-themed shop windows displaying original costumes and props.

Amazing driver experience

Our driver, Ibrahim, was wonderful. He drove us from Amman airport to Petra. Our flight was one hour early and he was already waiting for us when we got to the exit of the airport. He was helpful, professional and friendly. We would definitely love to have Ibrahim again and highly recommend him!

Awesome experience! Highly recommend!

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Touring through Tuscany

We had the same driver for our 2 day trip in tuscany. I was able to develop my own itinerary so I could go where we wanted and see the things we wanted. Marco was fantastic!! He opened doors for us and made sure my mother was able to get in and out of the car easily. He had water in the car for us. He was early picking us up both days and brought us as close to the towns as he could. He told us which way to go to enter the cities and then sent me his location so we knew how to get back to him after traveling the streets. Im so happy I decided to get a driver to take us through Tuscany. It took all the worry and anxiety of driving through this region I had never been to and didnt know where to park. Money well spent!

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Know more about your day trip

Yes, the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory offers tours where you can watch master craftsmen create the famous blue-and-white pieces. You'll see the production process from molding to hand-painting. The on-site museum displays historical pieces and explains how European porcelain-making began (tours must be booked separately from Daytrip).

Gorlitz is approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Dresden, about 1.5 hours by car. Meissen lies just 25 kilometers (16 miles) from Dresden, making it a convenient first stop. The route connects three significant Saxon cities through scenic countryside and along the Elbe River.

You'll have 2.5 hours in Meissen to tour the porcelain factory or castle hill, then 2 hours in Gorlitz to explore filming locations. The total round trip from Dresden takes approximately 9 hours including drive time and stops. This pacing allows meaningful exploration without feeling rushed at either destination.

The 9-hour itinerary is comprehensive but manageable for travelers interested in both culture and cinema. Your private driver ensures comfortable travel between locations with rest breaks as needed. The diverse experiences at Meissen and Gorlitz keep the day engaging. Stop durations can be adjusted after booking to match your energy level.

Key sites include the Gorlitzer Warenhaus department store used in The Grand Budapest Hotel, Untermarkt square from Inglourious Basterds, and Demianiplatz featured in The Reader. The city's 4,000 historic buildings have doubled for locations across Europe in over 100 productions. Self-guided film tours help identify specific shooting locations throughout the old town.

Meissen is known as the cradle of European porcelain, home to the continent's oldest porcelain manufactory established in 1710. The hilltop Albrechtsburg castle, Germany's oldest, dominates the skyline alongside the Gothic Cathedral. Augustus the Strong founded the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory after the formula for white gold was accidentally discovered.

This combination pairs Saxon porcelain heritage with Gorlitz's film location fame. Meissen offers cultural history and traditional craftsmanship, while Gorlitz provides cinematic connections through locations from The Grand Budapest Hotel and Inglourious Basterds. Together they showcase Saxony's diverse cultural treasures from historic crafts to modern cinema.
