Leipzig is a very popular destination for city breaks because it has a well-developed tourism infrastructure.
On your first visit to Leipzig, you’ll be amazed at just how green this former industrial hub of the GDR really is. Within the city’s nearly300-square-kilometerarea, history meets commerce—Leipzig has something to offer everyone.
Among the must-see sights in this Saxon city are the Gewandhaus zu Leipzig, the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, and the Panoramatower for a panoramic view. You should also, of course, take a stroll along the Barfußgäschen. The city is also home to one of the oldest universities in Germany, as well as the oldest colleges of commerce and music. Leipzig’s great musical tradition is primarily due to the influence of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Johann Sebastian Bach.
Discover Leipzig, enjoy the famous “Leipziger Allerlei,” and listen to the world-renowned St. Thomas Choir.
