The 33 best photo spots in Leipzig

Beautiful church with stained glass windows. We had the pleasure of attending a musical showcase with the Thomanerchor Leipzig. This was such an amazing experience. When visiting remember to also look up at the domed roof and admire the small intricate designs.

Bach's church where he worked and lived, and is buried. This is a must-see If you are in Leipzig. The interior is beautiful with stained glass and various carvings and ornamentation. The church and connected buildings are very large. I saw a couple school groups here.

Seeing Bach's church was the reason we came to Germany and it didn't disappoint, at least according to my Bachophile son. It was easy to buy tickets at the door and you could easily see the whole thing in 30 minutes. But very contemplative and it's fun to imagine history's greatest composer walking those same steps. I'd recommend bringing some headsets and Bach albums (although the museum next door had ample samples) as it was silent when we were there. There's a few interesting artifacts from Bach.

I visited this church in March, 2025. I was deeply moved to visit this church, so rich in history and positive energy. Moreover, I felt the timelessness of Bach’s notes resonating throughout the space. It was truly thrilling! 💖

Beautiful church with excellent comprehensive guide in English. Don't miss the Bach artefacts in the small room on the right of the main entrance. Interesting stained glass and contemporary Bach organ. For those following Martin Luther, there's a window of him with Frederick the Wise and Melanchthon.

st. thomas church (thomaskirche) in leipzig is famous for its music. it's where j.s. bach worked for 27 years and is buried. it's also home to the legendary st. thomas boys choir (thomanerchor) – try to catch their weekly performances (motets) if you can. it's a beautiful, historic church and a must-see for any music fan in leipzig

This is one of the must see places in Leipzig. The place is temple for music and prayer. The art work and high gothic domes and the vibe is positive. It’s great to see that this was a great place for Leipzig music history.

Haven’t been to a concert yet so will update this weekend but our first experience of the organization was one of getting an issue resolved with our tickets. The staff responding online as well as the staff on the premises both worked hard and efficiently to get an issue with our seats resolved. Very impressed. Having now attended one concert at the Grand (Grosse) Hall I can attest to its great acoustics. Appearance is a matter of personal taste but I also like its appearance. Some of the artwork on display may dismay—indeed distress—some folks but I’m happy to see tribute paid to more than just the august members of the elites of classical composers and performers.

Wonderful venue with brilliant acoustics. The organ is magnificent.

It was the fulfilment of a long-held dream to perform in this famous and iconic hall

It is a nice concert hall with a great vibe. The full bar service is great, too. It is beautiful to look at in the evening, and it is within walking distance of the city center.

Listened to Lord of the Rings here. The seats were good, There were plenty of bars and the drinks we pre-ordered worked well. The queues for the Garderobe were long, both before and after the concert.

One of the best orchestra in the world. I came to Leipzig mainly to have one experience with Gewanhaus Leipzig Orchestra. Under the baton of Maestro Andris Nelsons, Bruckner symphony #8 was so affection. The acustic and layout of the concert hall is nice.

I had heard many positive rumors about the excellent acoustics of Gewandhaus and the outstanding performance skills of the Gewandhaus Orchestra, and it truly lived up to the expectations. I could feel the vibrations of the sound with my body, and the artists' playing skills were exceptional as well. Thanks to this, I had a wonderful end to the year. (reference : It is located in the city center, and it is within walking distance to the tram station, making it convenient to get around even without a car.)

Leipzig Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to – just go! The area is massive and beautifully designed, with tons of space to explore. The animals are surprisingly close, and there’s an amazing variety – I saw species I’d never even heard of before. There are plenty of spots to grab food or a drink along the way, which makes the whole visit super chill. The highlight for me was the tropical hall *Gondwanaland* – a huge indoor rainforest with its own climate. It’s seriously impressive and makes the whole experience feel really unique.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool. All of the exhibits are wonderful. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit the zoo. Easily one of the best zoos in the world.

Beautiful zoo with a rich variety of animals and habitats! Especially Gondwanaland was amazing giving you the feeling of actually being in the jungle!( don’t forget to get on the little boat trip, super cheap and worth the experience). Love, Greece!!!🇬🇷❤️

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

Zoo Leipzig is a great place to visit with kids. The grounds are very clean with almost no smell, and there are nice play and climbing facilities for children. A fun and family-friendly zoo experience!

I went to Leipzig zoo with my family (kids aged 12, 15 and 16) with the very reasonably priced family ticket. The breadth of animals is brilliant and they were all housed in appropriate and spacious enclosures. We all loved the tropical area, a particular highlight was the giant otter feeding. It was a very busy day in the Summer holidays and some areas did feel quite busy but we still had a fantastic day, definitely one of the best zoos I have ever been to. There was only one issue and that was the number of people smoking all over the zoo, particularly in busy areas where there are lots of children it would be much better to have designated smoking areas and ban smoking in other places

This amazing monument is a powerful reminder of the past and history. You can really feel the strong emotions when you’re there. Be prepared for lots of staircases—there are more than 350 steps, and some of them are in narrow, tiny hallways. It’s definitely not for claustrophobic people, but there’s an elevator that takes you up part of the way, though it doesn’t reach the top. It’s a great place to visit during the summer or spring when the weather is nice!

A stunning monument that witnessed through its history empires, kingdoms and republics coming and going…. A must see by everyone who loves history! Fabulous views to the city as well as relaxing beautiful park!

Great experience with a rich history. I chose a non audio self tour and would highly recommend this. It's a place of reflection and would rather go undisturbed. The staircase to the top is steep though. Just so you know 😉

If you had only one thing to do in Leipzig, please visit this place. This monument is the tallest in all of Europe and it commemorates the war that broke Napoleon. No tickets required

This intense and impressive monument is a MUST SEE if you are in Leipzig. The scale is stunning and is reminiscent of the Mines of Moria in Lord of the Rings. There are multiple lifts but if you want to get to the top viewing area, you have to use the stairs and it is a little walk. No bad, but most people emerged a little winded and sweaty. The sweeping views of Leipzig are great and, if you go on a sunny day, you can see many miles/kilometers in every direction. Highly recommended.

A really impressive monument. It really makes you feel the enormity of the event being memorialized much like the World War I monument in Kansas City. There was a feeling of heaviness about the monument and it made me feel retrospective. A very nice visit. A stroll through the cemetery nextdoor is also warranted.

It's really a great memorial of history and the way the people looked at history more than hundred years ago. The museum isn't very big and informative, but the battle miniatures are quite interesting.

An absolute must see if you are visiting Leipzig. The beautiful ceiling alone is worth the trip. There are interesting displays on the role the church played in the demonstrations in 1989.

Very pretty church inside, and amazing cold-war era history to it. In fact I think one of the Stasi has been working in the Church since the wall came down judging by his manner when I visited a few weeks ago. OK so I was taking a photo (apologies as I never realised that taking a picture of a building that is dedicated to a make-believe figure is disrespectful, and I don't remember seeing Thou Shalt Not Take Pictures In My Holy Buildings in the commandments when Charlton Heston brought them forth from high upon a Hollywood hill somewhere), but this guy was just plain self righteous and rude. Be polite, and treat us mere mortal sinners as human beings. We make mistakes so why not forgive us our trespasses. Hmmm....where have I heard that phrase before?

This church is deeply intertwined with history, offering a unique glimpse into the past. A must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and cultural heritage!

If you're visiting Leipzig, St. Nicholas Church is an absolute must-see. While it's historically and religiously significant, it's also an incredibly meaningful place in the history of music—making it especially memorable for those who love music and the arts. I’ve visited two years in a row to attend performances during the Bach Festival, and each time was a rich and unique experience thanks to the world-class music and the special atmosphere that only this venue can offer. Located right in the city center, the church is easily accessible and surrounded by plenty of other attractions and dining options within walking distance.

For a people like mine, who have long yearned for recognition and self-determination, the story of the Peaceful Revolution that began here is incredibly moving. To think that these very walls, once a place of worship, became the cradle of a movement that brought down a regime without a single shot fired... it's a powerful reminder that change, true change, can sprout from the most unexpected places.

While it feels strange to “rate” a church, I choose to do so in order to help maintain awareness of the importance of this church both as a place of worship and with its important place in music history. This is, after all, the church where Johan Sebastian Bach’s masterpiece, the St. John Passion, was first performed. During his many years of tenure in charge of the liturgical music for all of Leipzig’s churches at the time, Bach would have performed, directed the choir and written music for this church on numerous occasions.

It’s a highly historical place for the German reunification. It’s the place where protests were located and German people in the GDR gathered to stand up against the socialist regime. It’s a must see when in Leipzig! It’s free to visit but 3 Euro for pictures. It’s wonderfully renovated and colourful. Sometimes you even have the possibility to listen to concerts.

Lots of good restaurants including Tills Tunnel

Premium shopping area. Traditional European look and well displayed shops, not so wide but good enough space corridors.

Very well decorated for the Christmas season. Cafes/Bars available to sit an watch the day pass by. Not a busy place but very pleasant

Very beatuful structure but important is down stairs restaurant. This is very old wine house Gothe came here many years and write Faust here and desciribe wine house open evening

It's an amazing shopping destination and has a beautiful interior design

Absolutely brilliant. I came on a recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed it.

It’s a very beautiful passage with many restaurants, boutiques, & saloon.

Great spacious hall architecture. Biggest collection of Käthe Kollwitz Graphics. Fabulous collection of Leipzig's artists. On the old fashioned side when it comes to Contemp Painting Curation.

Incredibly impressive modern building—an absolute must-see, even just for the architecture. The museum itself is worth visiting for the experience of the space alone. Be sure to take the lift; it’s remarkably spacious—perhaps the most generous elevator I’ve ever seen. The art collection is small but thoughtfully curated. However, one puzzling aspect was the display arrangement: smaller paintings hung directly above larger ones made it nearly impossible to appreciate the finer details. Hopefully, the museum will reconsider this presentation to better showcase the works. Still, a memorable visit in a truly striking setting

Nice building and exposition. Especially I liked its inclusivity. There were several paintings that had their versions of the painting designed to help people who are blind or have low vision understand theirs composition.

Superb collection of paintings and sculptures in a beautiful and stylish building of concrete, glass and wood. The people working there are the most helpful and friendly I have ever seen in any museum!

I thoroughly enjoyed this museum. It was pleasantly uncrowded, and the exhibitions were thoughtfully curated.

A fine (though not great) collection of mostly German artists from 16th century to present day. Staff is friendly and helpful and the permanent exhibition is free to see.

Marvellous building and atmosphere. Two big permanent collections with free entrance. A must while visiting Leipzig.

I think this is the most majestic Rathaus in Germany Stunning

Impressive building with a great Tower that can be visited at 14.00 daily, the guided tower tour costs 3 euro for adults. A cool place with a great view of the city👍

Very beautiful new town house! Don’t miss some info board about what happen there in 89

Leipzig New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) is the seat of the Leipzig city administration since 1905. It stands within the Leipzig's "ring road" on the southwest corner opposite the city library at Martin-Luther-Ring. The main tower is, at 114.8 meters, the tallest city hall tower in Germany. In 1897 the architect and city building director of Leipzig Hugo Licht was awarded the job of designing it. The foundation stone of the New Town Hall was laid on 19 October 1899 The town hall features as a backdrop in the Alfred Hitchcock film Torn Curtain. The Deputy Mayor of Leipzig and his wife and daughter, who committed suicide as American troops were entering the city on 20 April 1945.

Came here for research purposes. Conducted pressure measurements from the top of the tower. The town hall in itself is beautiful from both the inside and the outside. Sadly the paternoster lift was out of order. The view from the top is great.

This town hall looks like a small historical fortress in the middle of a modern city. Monolithic and at the same time figuratively elegant. I was always impressed and pleased whenever I met old buildings that still play a role in the new era, instead of just decaying and withering. This is a very beautiful building.

Standing majestically at the southwest corner of Leipzig's Old Town is the New Town Hall, Neues Rathaus, in the style of the German Late Renaissance. Completed in 1905, this massive building occupies the site of the 13th Century Pleissenburg, with parts of the old castle being incorporated in the 115 meter high central tower.

I absolutely loved the temporary exhibition on futuristic matériels and design for living through an apocalypse. So much hope for the future expressed, despite where we seem to be going. The permanent collection is great too, what I saw of it. Lots of beautiful ceramics…probably other things I missed. We happened on a ceramic market on the ground too, which was a special bonus. I was amazed by the quality, diversity and volume of works available for purchase. So many beautiful things!

The museum visit was free. The number of exhibits exposed is huge, but you have to be really passionate about this to stay and look at each one.

Amazing art objects from Antiquity until modern times through 3 different exhibitions. Such an impressive collection! There is a written guide for each exhibition which is available in different languages which is quite helpful because most explanations are in German. Free admisison to the permanent exhibition which is a plus.

The musical instrument exhibit is really spectacular, tracing Western instruments chronologically over several hundred years. Many of the signs are in German so expect to use a translation app. The entry fee is cash only. Spent about 2 hours here but you could easily spend more if you desired. If you are a music student, current or past, this is a must see in Leipzig.

I visited this museum for the ethnographic collection with a group of South and Southeast Asia scholars. I have not seen the Applied Arts section, which I hear is great. The ethnographic section was rather disappointing, as it is (as of September 2024) in the process of being converted into a sort of meta-museum and a post-colonial guilt trip. Instead of having the ethnographic collection on display they now have rooms full of woke posters about how sad it is that many artefacts were acquired immorally and unfairly. I'm not saying that these details should be suppressed and forgotten. I'm all for bringing them out into the open. But... on the one hand, their presentation should not take the form of one-sided self-flagellation but also acknowledge the tremendous contribution of ethnographic museums to preservation and knowledge dissemination. How many of those collection pieces, whether fairly or unfairly acquired, would by now have been lost to war, decay and deliberate iconoclasm, and how many would have been sold unscrupulously to private collectors on the black and grey market, if they hadn't been carried to those bad-bad colonial museums? And on the other hand, an ethnographic museum is not the place to house exhibitions addressing colonial guilt. That is like closing down a library and converting it into a guilt trip because it used to house many works by ancient Greek authors who had slaves to cook their dinner (so let's forget about their timeless philosophy and plays), by people like Rudyard Kipling brimming with the white man's superiority (so let's forget about his astute psychology and engrossing narrative), etc. No, please let's keep the library and find a different venue to address the questionable moral background, and even there, let's address it with a fair view of the entire context. That said, there were still a few rooms of the old, actual, ethnographic collection, which was great to see. They included a village hut from India, built on the site by authentic artisans invited for the purpose, with many of the materials also brought from the region of origin. Other materials were sourced locally, for instance cowdung for the wall plaster came from a German organic cattle farm, where the craftspeople first made a visit to check if the material is really suitable for their purpose. I hear that there used to be several other traditional buildings in the museum, presumably built with the same devotion and care, and enjoyed by countless children and adults as tangible reminders of how other people live and settings where they could hear about other cultures. Too bad that they are gone.

Very impressive collection of the musical instruments, not only European, with some very curious specimens. "Sound laboratory" was also very cool, though a bit skewed to various simple percussion instruments. Maybe the only disadvantage is the lack of English translation for a big part of exhibits.

Amazing museum with plenty of exhibitions, which vary in their complexity. From ceramics to musical instruments, and even both combined! That's a challenge for you: find a ceramic violin :)

I am not sure if I will return. Ambience is great. Food is good. I ordered a chicken pasta, a beer flight, and pretzels with Bavarian butter that was served promptly. However, the servers are very unfriendly. That’s why, the 3 stars. There is a need for the management to train the staff on basic etiquettes.

We were tourists from UK, the staff were welcoming and did their best to help on food and beer options. Found all were really helpful. Really helped that their English was better than our German language. Food is excellent, so on same level as the beer. Also so easy to get to, on the public station.

Deceptively large pub / restaurant, housed in an old railway station, which is well worth a visit, even a detour, if you’re in or around Leipzig. Home to the famous reinvented gose beer, which should bee tried and can be easily worth a flight of the house beers. Main meals are large and very tasty, pork knuckle especially recommended. Service is excellent, friendly and accommodating. We went twice during a week in Leipzig. Seek it out!

Bayerischer Bahnhof offers good German food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The fish dish stood out with its vibrant sour notes from the confit lemon slice. The Goze, a beer from Leipzig, was also excellent. The vibrant food and drink are a refreshing change from the typically heavy German fare.

Amazing level of service and generally friendly atmosphere even for english speaking tourists. Before we left we already knew we will come back there one day again. Food was absolutely on top. Not even mentioning the price, which is lower than some other restaurant and you can clearly tell the quality here is few levels higher.

I came for the Original Gose beer but the food looked great as well. The main building is impressive with a good sized beer garden

We were recommended this place by a local and glad we tried it out. It does seem to be very popular and so booking is recommended, although we arrived on spec, the staff were friendly and managed to find us a table near the bar. The beer is very refreshing and compliments the menu very well. The food is good quality, plentiful and a good price. The service we had on the evening was fast and friendly too.

We love the museum— informative, fun, beautiful— especially the room where you could compose a song and the orchestra room. The young lady staff member inside the museum was lovely. The only downside was when we purchased the ticket. The old lady was incredibly grumpy and rude. How can you put a person like that as the first tourist touchpoint!?!

The museum isn’t very big, and that’s exactly what makes it so enjoyable. What makes this museum especially fun are the interactive elements. You’re not just a spectator, but also a participant. There are installations you can try out or listen to, which makes the experience more vivid and personal. For anyone who loves classical art and culture, this place is truly worth a visit.

Such an amazing venue to learn about the timeline of one of the best composers of all time. The house is quite big with detailed description of Bach's musical stories. Interactive listening session is available inside. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Bach's music!

We enjoyed our visit very much. The museum is light, bright and well laid out. The exhibits are engaging and varied and we learnt a lot about Bach and Leipzig. I couldn't ask for more from a museum.

Amazing museum definitely recommend for Bach and music lovers in general!

Wonderful, not to be missed museum on J. S. Bach's life and musical career. And it was free with English audio guide! The highlight for me, and I suspect other classical music lovers was the original and only remaining organ that he sat and played at next door St. Thomas church (which also must be seen). Quite sublime to think about.

Brilliant. A great overview of the great man and his stay in Leipzig. Definitely recommend the audio guide as it adds a lot of context to the exhibits and it's not too wordy. Highly recommend a visit here.

It was my first time in town, so I took a leap of faith and went to Leipzig Oper. And what a surprise I had! The opera, Die Reise Nach Reims, was magnificent. Everyone, and I mean everyone, acted and sang beautifully, making the whole play an exceptional spectacle. My sincere congratulations to everyone who was part of it. It made it memorable, and I have been to some opera houses, so I know what I am talking about.

Every visit to the Leipzig Opera becomes an unforgettable memory. The performance of Norma was powerful and moving, with singers who brought great emotion to the stage. The ballet was graceful and captivating, adding beauty and depth to the experience. The orchestra played with excellence, and the conductor, Yura Yang, led with energy and passion that lifted the entire hall. Everything was well produced and beautifully presented. A truly memorable night that I would gladly recommend to anyone visiting Leipzig!

Excellent architecture, environment and decoration. It’s a pleasure to visit the Oper Leipzig every time. Clean space and ready for you to relax and enjoy.

We had a wonderful time at Wagner's Das Rhinegold. The beautiful and powerful live orchestra makes all the difference. A recording cannot do it justice. The dancing was great.

Nice place with large spaces in the architectural style of 60s. I enjoy it as well as the spectacle.

This is a wonderful place for a good cultural experience! Nice atmosphere, comfortable seats, and warm temperature. Tickets are often sold out. So you should look for them in advance. Tickets with Leipzig Pass cost quite affordable.

A wonderful place to explore different cultural and musical events. Other tourist attractions are nearby.

Amazing place! We went for the Monet exhibition and, although it was not my favourite immersive exhibition ever (just recently saw an amazing show on Aboriginal art in Melbourne that was more immersive, explaining more about the art throughout the show), we still enjoyed the experience a lot. We had to wait to get in for an hour, though, because we missed the entry time by 5 minutes.

We saw Origins. It was a very interesting and beautiful show.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and the place was nearly empty. I was hoping to see at least some interesting architecture, but there was hardly anything worth looking at. Honestly, it felt like a waste of time. I was expecting more.

Tropical Christmas Dinner: can highly recommend the show. Food was plenty with good options also for vegetarians. After Show DJ was ok but could have played more crowd pleasers. Definitely a good choice for a corporate Christmas dinner.

I visited the Van Gogh exhibition here. The multimedia presentation was really impressive, a work of art on its own! The whole setup was great, nothing that I have ever quite experienced anywhere else before. Not expensive as well, only 11 euros admittance. Definitely worth the visit.

It’s basically a Digital Blasphemy-esque screensaver that’s been divvied up into shorts and played on different TVs as you walk through a haunted house maze of rooms. If you can find it, you get to the end and there’s two warehouses that have the screen playing on all four walls and sometimes the floor. They give you pillows and stuff to lay on the ground but it’s not projected on the ceiling so that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Plus none of these surfaces are cleaned- including the VR goggles later, those were gross. Basically you just need to come up with a designated hand holder and everybody else in the group get pretty baked and go to this. But if you’re looking for anything actually science, this isn’t it. It’s a gorgeous piece of art, but it’s all about how it’s displayed in the space rather than as a screensaver you could buy and play between YouTube videos. And the girl that let us in (late), although gorgeous, literally grunted by way of letting us know we could enter now. Not a very warm welcome. Though it’s very hot throughout the exhibition- so pick up the map at the front desk and use it as a fan. As an IT person it was ok. The one part that really bothered me was the poor rendering on the water in Section 7. It moved up and down rather than to and away from shore. And when it started raining- the water surface was not affected. Continuity matters. No photography allowed.

This was an interesting place to visit. I found the price to be expensive for what it contained. When we finished we did ask ourselves, “is that it?” It was interesting to see and fill in our otherwise empty afternoon. However, I would not go out of your way to see it.

The museum is smaller compared to the ones they have at Frankfurt or other big cities. However, everything feels lifelike with a very good effort to tell a story through them. Even after hours of exploring, I wanted to stand still and absorb more in.

I'm still amazed by this exhibition and it is 5 hours after I left. The quality of the presented taxidermy is insane, the design of every exposition as well. Free entry, 100% recommend. I'm so happy we found out about this museum in Leipzig, 10/10 experience, thank you! ❤️

Beautiful collection of stuffed animals and detailed texts about their histories as well. There is also a geological section with rocks and minerals from different ages and a section with stone and bronze age human history. Parking is available and the restroom is on the main floor, just after the reception desk. A ticket is 2 euros, I definitely recommend checking the place out if you're visiting the city!

I was almost tearing up inside. The taxidermy is impeccable- the animals are shown in their ecosystems, interacting with each other, interacting with manmade items, running, hunting, hiding, copulating… there is also extensive visuals for geographical explanations and stones. And it is free! This kind of knowledge should always be free in my opinion. I would love to visit here again, and again, and again..

The Natural History Museum has several exhibition rooms. One of my favorite rooms was the "Big Mammals", where various stuffed animals are showed. In addition to animals, the museum explains a bit of geology and how urbanism affects the flora and fauna environment. The musero is very quiet and lonely. They could promote certain recreational activities to make learning more dynamic . Finally, it would be great if they could also put signs in English.

Nice little collection of stuffed animals and with informative note boards. Ideal for younger children as well I would guess, as time to stay can easily be adjusted or shortened if needed.

Very friendly staff! My daughter loves it here, we go at least twice a month for years alreay.

Just to the opposite corner of new Rathaus, lies truss great piece of architecture with mighty fillings and central tower. By the time I reached there it was late evening. Could not go inside and I don’t know General public permitted. The building has a great frontage to enjoy its marvellous features.

The Reichsgericht was the supreme criminal and civil court in the German Reich from 1879 to 1945. the building was designed by Ludwig Hoffmann and Peter Dybwad, and construction was completed in 1895. It is designed in the Italian renaissance style and features two large courtyards, a central cupola and a large portico at the entrance. The rich decorative gable and sculptures are by Otto Lessing. After the reunification, the former Reichsgericht building was renovated and became the seat of the Bundesverwaltungsgericht (Federal Administrative Court).

Stunning building with impressive architecture and great historical value. It is open to the public, yet surprisingly not very crowded. It is definitely worth taking a look inside to appreciate the history and atmosphere. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable.

Still not helping against Child kidnapping, withhelding, violance, robbery, and further crime!!

A Must in Leipzig for Historians and photographers

Impressive building 👍

Awesome architecture.

Really nice punk venue. Beer is cheap and music is good. Bring cash, though

Coolest place in Leipzig that I know of. There's a biergarden, live music, drinks and a small food stall. Too bad they only accept cash, I couldn't buy anything.

One of the best places in Leipzig to enjoy live punk, oi and hardcore music in a relaxing atmosphere.

Nice place, but not that easy to find for the first time. Good and small place for the concerts, I had the feeling of home party

Very cool place. Went to their brunch buffet once. Food was great and cheap!!

Chill cool place! But the queue and “donations” break a bit the mood. I am okay even to pay for it but if it’s written donation and you don’t give the right amount or don’t give it at all, they don’t let you :(

Whenever I go here I come home with 3-4~ new glasses 😂. It's an great place to party if you're tight on cash. The people there are all friendly because whenever I go alone I end up with some new group of friends.

The review is not about Asisi himself, the son of Iranian parents – his works are brilliant. But a panorama like this without an elevator? I don’t know what the full bus of retirees thought when they arrived just as I was entering. The whole point is to see the artwork from above – that’s how the artist intended and designed it. You don’t really experience it properly from below. I’m glad I didn’t bring my mother – she would have struggled with all the stairs. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful piece of work, although I found Asisi’s installations in Berlin and Dresden even more impressive.

I didn’t have a lot of expectations for this visit. however as it is a building that catches our eyes, it was one of the chosen ones for the nachmuseum. the exhibition is incredible, and all gets even better when you get into the central building and you have a video mapping presentation of a beautiful painting. I really enjoyed the experience and recommend the visit :)

Truly beautiful, enough parking space, tickets can be purchased at the counter, I didn’t have to wait so long before buying the ticket. I went on a Sunday during the time when NY9/11 was showing and it was indeed beautiful. The yearly compilation of different stories that have happened throughout the years, the build up to the moment , the sound effect and lighting… AMAZING TRULY. First time entering one of those and I look forward to another one.

I'm not usually one to visit Art exhibitions, but this place was incredible and worth every dollar of the entry price. Highly recommend if you're ever in Leipzig.

I visited during the Christmas holidays. It was raining and they only had the indoor part of the venue open. The exhibition is quite limited. The panoramic view of the New York City was great but not that immersive. It's a decent experience, nothing to rave about.

Great exhibition space giving an intense impression of the topic. We had been in Asisis latest exhibition about 9/11 and the message and logic were impressive and very emotional.

What an experience! Enjoyed it more than I expected. Great visuals accompanied by great background music. And the theme (Carola garden) was presented very intriguingly, to the point that you start experiencing it as if you're there.

This museum covers a great deal of former East German history since the end of WW II. It includes the peace prayers movement experienced in Leipzig in the late eighties right before the DDR government opened access to the West for their people in Oct 1989. I highly recommend this museum to anyone who wants to gain a further understanding about what life in East Germany was like under the Soviet regime.

Wow! Garten Zaun Exhibit is more than one would expect. Excellent information & presentation. German & often English. Gets into the political & cultural aspects of having a garden. I spent 3 hours (!) here…went for fresh air & food in order to dive into the second half of the museum: dictatorship & democracy!! Again…amazing presentation & information (can download self-guided App). The space is like IKEA!!! Around each corner MORE great information. Highly recommend. And it’s free!!

Absolutely huge (maybe even too?) exposition - you need at least 2 hours to go through, but it contains a lot of stories and artifacts. Free entrance, lockers and toilet.

Nice free museum. Would get 5 stars but an employee didn't let me take a picture of a certain wall sculpture and I didn't understand why.

Very interesting museum covering life in a divided Germany. I’d recommend 2 hours for a visit. Whilst it’s great that the museum is free, I did not appreciate the interactions with staff in the last 30 minutes of our visit. Their official hours state they close at 6pm, yet we were herded through the last few exhibits by staff at 5:45pm, and outwardly told to leave at 5:50pm. One older employee kept looking at her watch and verbally scolded me for daring to still be there. Very rude and off putting. Change your hours if you don’t want visitors there until 6pm. Standing outside, I saw her practically fly out of the door at 6pm on the dot, racing to wherever she so desperately needed to be! 😂

The temporary and permanent exhibitions both were very interesting providing an interesting view on how Germany mindset was shaped the major events in their recent history. The temporary exhibition was about gardens during the DDR period (but it changes every month, so it might be a different topic by now).

Visited soon after completing a city tour. Perfect followup adding extra context and detail to the tour. This museum is a must visit. Thankyou Leipzig for putting on such a thought provoking and comprehensive exhibit. And it's free!

This park is so beautiful that every corner csn offer you different type of things. So calm and peaceful. Loved it.i went their when it was fall.. So colorful. I recommend everyone to go there if someone vidit leipzig.

Very, very large park. Fairly the largest park I’ve ever set foot on. And from its hugeness, there are a lot of activities actually. From street music and food trucks, and a lot more! But on its own, just Mother Nature herself, whatever season it is Clara-Zetkin-Park is tremendously beautiful.

Great park, lots of spots to sit. There is a restaurant with toilets

Beautiful park especially during the autum, the reflections are unbelievable!!

This park is enormous and has a lot of path. There are 2 restaurants / Biergarten within vicinity. Many people do sports (jogging, cycling), picnic, playing with ball ⚽️, playing music, etc. especially at night. When i visited on mid June on the other part of the park and it was full of colorful flowers 🌺

That park it is amazing. It Gives the feeling that you are on a different planet, with the 3 river united together, the XIX century bridge, little lakes, cute cozy restaurants, free music bands flashing their undiscovered talent... everything it is so marvelous, magical.

Large, flat as normal for Leipzig, some nice natural spots but mostly city park vibe, just larger. Good places for ice cream, etc. Generally great for a relaxed time with friends. River runs through it, allowing watching the boats. Has big events like the eco festival that I attended there. Could use more benches.

Went there for the photography exhibition. Great re-use of old Baumwollspinnerei. Galleries where young people have a “whatever, I dont care” attitude. 🤣 Very hipster if thats your vibe.

Since galleries are gathered in one place, you can see a variety of exhibitions here. It's very big, and the people are all friendly.

Expected more from this place. It's rather empty, quiet and not as many stores and firms as shown on Google maps. The craft supply store is amazing.

Galleries with eclectic art pieces. Easy to get to by tram, s-bahn, or regional train. Access to free WC when we were there.

If you're not an art fan, do not come to this place 😂 So many tiny + big galleries! Free of charge, beside one big gallery that asked for 4 euros. It was a bit disappointing that few of the galleries were close or open but didn't welcome visitors. The place is just beautiful. Take your time and try to see as much as you can before 5pm. I was exhausted but satisfied.

The Leipzig Cotton Spinning Mill was once one of the largest industrial complexes in Europe for processing cotton. Today, it is an important center for contemporary art, housing numerous galleries, studios, and creative spaces. The industrial charm of the historic site attracts artists and visitors from around the world.

A really cool concept, a lovely space being used as an artist village. Einen Besuch ist es wert. The 45 minute tour is also worth it, especially if you'd like to get an overview before you start exploring yourselves.

Nothing about this art is holy or divinely inspired. There is a dark, cold, inhumanness to each silhouette. Their giant size making them all the more imposing. Like something from a nightmare. Who decided this was appropriate for a house of God?

Remarkable, beautiful, unique, It's remarkable how the processes of ongoing restoration and construction impact the atmosphere in the St Peter's Church. Other churches are dominated by a hushed reverence or a meditative stillness. Only children dare break the subdued silence. Here, the artisans are at work. They make conversations, they communicate about the run of the cables, their tools and bustle create a very relatable tapestry of sound. Where other places of worship are sometimes sterile, seemingly devoid of life and warmth, merry even slightly forbidding, here, the fact that you can see a very day-to-day life unfolding invites you to a very different, very humane meditation.

Beautiful building and amazing gathering place

Lutherenkirche or peterkirche is situated between two streets, Reimanstraße und Schletterstraße. And fairly 25 meters walk from Café Waldi. This is what I believe a neglected church in Leipzig. It's dirty and a dumpster is widely open in front of the entrance. I personally like this church and it's minute Gothic descriptions. Nothing much to say about this.

Beautiful church. At the moment it undergoes serious renovation, but the toilets underneath the entrance are ready and really unique for a church!

Medieval Kirche! Very impressive one. I would suggest to be here when the bells are ringing! Very reminiscent!

Very nice church architecture with some surrounding gardens

This is very well decorated clean and a well maintained place with really good shops and nice theaters We really like the glass and metal construction and regularly visit this place. Thanks

The most artistic restaurant in leipzig.its just like a work of art. I have not eating here before but I work for Lieferando and I did alot of pick ups from here.thats enough to tell me it's highly sort after. There a difference between eat food and eating food with a culture. Try Ma Loa Hawaiian poké. This Hawaii in Europe.

Insanely beautiful place.... constantly reminding me to be an aunt and the proud citizen of the country this place belongs to

A great shopping center with a great selection of shops and interesting architecture.

Nice place must visit veey good decorated

Great place to shop eat coffee and cinestar for movie

Amazing place for all kinds of shopping. You will get all the famous and popular brand shop here.

LOVED the food! I got their cheese burger menu and it's one of the BEST vegan burgers I have ever had! Perfect flavours and made so fast that i only had to wait for 5 mins! The fries are my personal favourite - they are extra crispy and have some special salt on them <3 We will definitely come back to try more burgers and also their milkshakes!

Taste of the burger was ok, patty definitely too thinly sliced for the price and the fries were just terrible. They served me the last batch of fries which was drenched in fat.

Edit to reply to owner: the burger definitely wasn't browned on the outside. Pink through and through. The staff member barely had it on the grill for a minute. But that's the benefit of plant-based food. Even undercooked, it's still safe! Fast service and the burger was pretty good, but I don't think it's supposed to be pink? It looks raw and totally uncooked!

Fries were best fries I’ve had in Europe. Very well seasoned and perfect crunch. Vegan currywurst was excellent. Had reasonable prices.

Vegetarian menu with many burger options, both chicken and meat. The beyond meat is the best one we tried! The sauces and toppings are completing it for a true burger experience. Extra plus for the cajun fries - delish!

kinda a bummer that such a good vegan bistro is located at the train station, the vibes are very train-station like. Delicious, good price and worth visiting!

Ordered The Big Vince Meal, From Their Birthday Week Offers. All Under 9 Euro. Everything Was Good 😊 But Order Preparation is quite slow since it's just getting started.

Beautiful place, very peaceful and offers a lot to see. You can also pay a small fee and visit the greenhouses, where you can see plants from different ecosystems (tropical, Mediterranean, mangroves) and of course don't forget the butterfly house.

Stunning place and so well taken care of. Enjoyed the butterflies as well as the greenery. My partner and I just got engaged there, and it will always be a special memory 💜

For only €3 student entry this is an experience that you must go to whilst in Leipzig. All of the greenhouses were beautifully maintained and we got to see a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis which was a very special moment.

The hothouse where the butterflies are is quite small, and quite warm (especially since we visited on a summer day) but you can see the butterflies up close. I kind of expected more variety, but anyway, you do get to see some beautiful creatures.

A pleasant afternoon activity 😊 would highly recommend 👌

Beautiful butterflies and exotic tropical plants in the glass house as well as some interesting cacti and succulents. Also had some cool plants for sale if only I'd not been flying so couldn't bring any home. Maybe a little expensive at €5 since quite small area but I guess you don't get a lot for €5 these days.

Small botanical garden with number of different plants. No ticket for outdoor areas, indoor places need ticket (adult 5 euros, children 3 euros)

Great place for shopping. And a train station is there.

Nice place

Very beautiful and enjoyable place

Loved the independent Leipzig vibe (whether real or manufactured, the place is so nice that I just don't care). Wonderful cafe in the garden. Smiling people throwing glances at each other. Made me feel historical for a moment. Definitely worth revisiting.

Extensive artists with high global approach and potential to blue chip art. Gallery Eigen+Art belongs to top art galleries in Germany

Loved it
