The 45 best sights 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.)

We found it on the Google Maps and give it a go! The restaurant itself was underground and it was beautiful, lots painted walls and painted columns! The food itself was not really that great but is pretty good with portions. The lamb shoulder I ordered was pretty bland. We were going to order some dessert but our waitress was no where to be found for 10 minutes. We lost the appetite when she finally shows up!

I've always wanted to visit this famous place, and today I finally had the chance since I was out in the city for some errands and decided to have lunch there. We visited just before 2 PM, and since it was a quiet time with fewer customers, we were able to get seated immediately. The peaceful and calm atmosphere made for a relaxing meal and good conversation. Thanks to that, we didn’t have to wait or make a reservation, which was very convenient. However, after being shown to our seats, it took about 10 minutes before we could place our order. The appetizer (soup) was served approximately 25 minutes later, and the main dishes arrived about 30 minutes after that. Altogether, from being seated to receiving our main courses, it took nearly an hour. Fortunately, we had plenty of time today, but if you’re on a tight schedule, I recommend planning accordingly and arriving with extra time. The staff was polite, the food was delicious, and the portions were very generous. The interior had warm colors and a clean, well-organized feel, which added to the pleasant atmosphere.

This is an old German restaurant in the heart of Leipzig. According to urban legend, it's mentioned in Goethe's immortal Faust. It's advisable to make a reservation, although we were able to find a seat. I really liked the ambiance and service, but the food could have been better.

I went there based on the reviews. Honestly the food portions are huge me & my wife ordered 2 veal schnitzel plates and I believe one was enough with an appetiser perhaps. Now the atmosphere inside was quite chic and the waiters were quite nice however, it was definitely over priced and there was a rusty smell inside that would not make you comfortable to stay for long. Keep in mind you would pay for almost anything. I paid 2€ for tap water for 2 cups !! and 2€ to take the leftovers as takeaway which was completely weird for me !! And to top it off using the bathroom was 0.5€ per visit can you imagine this !!!. I would honestly think there are way cheaper places to try the same dish in Leipzig than this one, definitely a touristic trap!!

The boar steak, the Blauklaut and Knodels were absolutely delicious. Also the atmosphere and themes are breathtakingly memorable. If you are in Leipzig, you must visit here!

Food was cold and overall Atmosphere was below expectations. Price performance wasn't appropriate. Service personel was very kind.

We do not recommend Auerbachs Keller's vegetarian dishes to vegetarians. The main courses were a big disappointment! We were very curious based on the reviews and to try the restaurant. We did not have a reservation on Saturday evening, but after a few minutes of waiting we got a free table. We knew that mainly meat dishes "go" in the restaurant. However, there were some vegetarian main courses on the online menu, so we were happy to try them. The employees were very nice. The soups were delicious (but extremely overpriced - a small cup is 9-9.50 Euros). Ok. So be it! The cellar is nice! But for the 23 Euro vegetarian main courses to be just stewed greens with a little pasta or cream? Outrageous and underrated! German vegetarian cuisine is much more than that! This visit was a bad gastronomic experience and a waste of money for us. There is no service, if the food is bad!

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.

(Translated by Google) Ideally located for tourists visiting J.S. Want to visit Bach's St. Thomas Church. But that's not all.

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)

Nice place

Ein echtes Leipziger Juwel für alle Teeliebhaber und auch alle, die es bisher noch nicht sind - absolut empfehlenswert! 💚☕️

(Translated by Google) One of the best tea shops I've ever seen and visited. I've been a regular customer for years, even though I'm from Erfurt. My first stop when I come to Leipzig is always this beautiful shop. Best wishes from Erfurt. See you soon 🥰 (Original) Einer der besten Teeladen die ich je gesehen habe und besucht habe. Ich bin schon seit Jahren Stammkunde obwohl ich aus Erfurt komme Mein erster Weg ist immer wenn ich nach Leipzig komme dieser wunderschöne laden. Liebe Grüße aus Erfurt. Bis bald 🥰

(Translated by Google) A cute little shop with a very friendly saleswoman. If you are looking for the famous Leipzig larks, you will find them here and can also purchase a small portion of tea. The shop is definitely worth a visit. (Original) Ein niedlicher kleiner Laden mit einer sehr freundlichen Verkäuferin. Wer auf der Suche nach den berühmten Leipziger Lerchen ist, der wird hier fündig und kann dazu noch eine kleine Portion Tee erwerben. Der Laden ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

(Translated by Google) I've walked past it dozens of times and went in for the first time today to buy a gift for a colleague. Pretty little tea shop with a good selection of different teas. In the end I not only bought a gift but also something for myself. I received good advice and would come back immediately. (Original) Schon zig mal vorbeigegangen und heute zum ersten Mal auch hineingegangen, um ein Geschenk für eine Kollegin zu kaufen. Hübscher kleiner Teeladen mit einer guten Auswahl an unterschiedlichsten Tees. Am Ende habe ich nicht nur ein Geschenk sondern auch etwas für mich gekauft. Ich wurde gut beraten und würde sofort wiederkommen.

(Translated by Google) The tea is good, and the prices are reasonable. But the owner seems incredibly annoyed. They should do online shopping instead. (Original) Tee ist gut, Preise normal. Aber Besitzerin wirkt unheimlich genervt. Sollte lieber Onlinehandel betreiben.

(Translated by Google) Small but very nice. My wife and I have shopped there a few times now. The owner is very nice and super personable. The tea selection is extensive, making it difficult to choose every time 😁. Our tea is almost finished, so we'll be back soon. 😉 (Original) Klein aber sehr fein. Dort haben meine Frau und ich nun schon ein paar mal gekauft. Die Inhaberin ist sehr nett und super sympathisch. Die Teeauswahl ist groß und macht die Entscheidung jedesmal schwierig 😁. Unser Tee ist in Kürze leer, also sind wir bald wieder da. 😉

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!

Pros Pleasant pathways alongside the kanal, sometimes you'll find shady playgrounds and benches. Rawing folks swarm too and fro summertime {boat sup rent is possible} There's a small group - riverboat sightseeing tour alongside the kanal. Cons There's no consistent access to the kanal from every public place! Not every bridge had been connected. Locals know some pathes /shortcuts: they are driving through backyards but this possibilities depend on opening hours. {for Leipzigers: It's worth to overthink the London canal example}

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) Nice place to walk or sit down and have a drink with friends. (Original) Schöner Ort zum Spazieren oder Hinsetzen und was mit Freunden trinken.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant place for a stroll. You can kayak or enjoy a pleasant time with takeaway food and various drinks. There's a bike path along the canal. Tram number 15 is easily accessible from the city center. (Original) Bardzo przyjemne miejsce spacerowe. Można popływać kajakiem albo spędzić miło czas z jedzeniem na wynos oraz różnymi napojami. Ścieżka rowerowa wzdłuż kanału. Z centrum bez problemu można podjechać tramwajem 15.

(Translated by Google) Super fine channel to switch off and unwind. Great for walking. (Original) Super feiner Kanal zum Abschalten und Seele baumeln lassen. Zum spazieren super geeignet.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful district in Leipzig 😄 (Original) Schöner Stadtteil in Leipzig 😄

(Translated by Google) A very quiet and idyllic place on the Karl Heine Canal and a wonderful oasis in the “Plagwitz” district of Leipzig 💚 (Original) Ein sehr ruhiger und idyllischer Ort der Karl -Heine-Kanal und eine wundervolle Oase im Stadtteil "Plagwitz" /Leipzig 💚

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.

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.

Super

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, impressive. You should be fit to climb the stairs and not suffer from a lack of space. My pulse was at 120 ;-) (Original) Sehr interessant, imposant. Für den Aufstieg per Treppe sollte man schon fit sein und nicht unter Platzmangel leiden. Mein puls war bei 120 ;-)

Outstanding monument in the outskirts of Leipzig! It was worth to visit it also from outside!

(Translated by Google) Super impressive object 🤩 We definitely have to climb it 😆 Unfortunately there was no time for it yesterday as we only came here spontaneously 🙂 I hope the checkout staff have been replaced by then, as they were apparently already overwhelmed despite the stress-free situation. ... 🫣 They didn't come across as friendly and it was probably difficult to listen... Still a great day 🥰 (Original) Super eindrucksvolles Objekt 🤩 Das müssen wir unbedingt mal erklimmen 😆 Nur am gestrigen Tage war leider keine Zeit dafür,da wir nur spontan hier her gekommen sind 🙂 Ich hoffe bis dahin wurde das Kassenpersonal ausgetauscht, da die trotz stressfreier Situation, scheinbar schon überfordert waren.... 🫣 Kamen jetzt nicht so freundlich rüber und zuhören ging wohl auch eher schlecht.... Dennoch ein toller Tag gewesen 🥰

(Translated by Google) We spontaneously visited the Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Battle of the Nations Monument) yesterday and were thrilled. The monument is very impressive and a wonderful sight. The view of Leipzig from the top is absolutely fantastic in good weather; you shouldn't miss it. (Original) Wir haben gestern spontan das Völkerschlachtdenkmal besucht und waren begeistert. Das Denkmal ist sehr imposant und toll anzusehen. Der Ausblick auf Leipzig von oben ist bei gutem Wetter absolut fantastisch, das sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and important monument. On a Saturday the ticket office closes at 2 p.m.! Last entry at 2:30 p.m.! SATURDAYS!! Since I arrived "too late", a viewing was not possible for me. But they supposedly open at 8am. I wonder who gets up so early to visit a monument and museum? (Original) Sehr schönes und wichtiges Denkmal. An einem Samstag schließt die Kasse um 14 Uhr! Letzter Einlass um 14:30 Uhr! SAMSTAGS!! Da ich "zu spät" gekommen bin, war eine Besichtigung für mich nicht möglich. Aber sie machen angeblich um 8 Uhr auf. Ich frage mich, wer so früh aufsteht um ein Denkmal und Museum zu besichtigen?

(Translated by Google) The 91m high Battle of the Nations Monument in Leipzig stands here behind the Lake of Tears for the fallen soldiers. It commemorates the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, which ended with Napoleon's defeat. A visit is particularly recommended at blue hour. (Original) Das 91m hohe Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig steht hier hinter dem See der Tränen um die gefallenen Soldaten. Es erinnert an die Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig im Oktober 1813, die mit einer Niederlage Napoleons endete. Besonders zur Blauen Stunde ist ein Besuch auch zu empfehlen.

The information was interesting, but none of the signage, pictures or captions had English translations. Entrance and audio guide included is 5 euro per person. The overview in the audio is good, but just that an overview. We used Google translate a lot to read captions and the materials on the wall. It could have been so much more interesting.

An absolute must visit if you're interested in Cold War history. The fact that former Stasi station serves as a museum with a lot of the rooms still the way they used to be was surreal. You can rent an audio guide in various languages to interpret the different rooms and the artifacts. There is also a recreation of a prison cell that the Stasi would have used. These sites are so important to remember this history and educate about the dangers of dictatorship.

A very interesting museum about the secret police and espionage of East Germany. Entry is free, and the audio guide costs 5 euros (available in Spanish as well). There are plenty of fascinating facts and stories — and important lessons that should never be forgotten or repeated.

Walk in thinking the visit was free but it is not! It is €5 and if you want the audio guide is included! It helps with the explanation of the items as all is in German but not all is explained. The museum is pretty interesting one, with spies items! The building is a bit hot. There is a bathroom available too!

Interesting small museum that is coordinated by volunteers. The location is incredible, as the original setting of the Stasi headquarters in Leipzig is preserved very well! Most of the information is only in German, although audio guides are available in many languages which provide the main story. If I had to mention an improvement point: maybe make the translated texts available online or in an app. For now, however, Google Translate works well. As is still custom in many parts of Germany, only cash payments are accepted (5 euros per person, including the audio guide).

The history of the building itself is very interesting, for what purposes it was used. Unfortunately, the museum itself is done in an old-fashioned way: a lot of text on the walls. The entrance fee was 5€, including an audio guide with very long and detailed explanations.

A fascinating experience. I know there may be people that would say the exhibition style is too low-tech, but I say they should not change a thing as it perfectly channels the drab banality of the DDR and administrative cruelty that the offices were used for. Multi lingual audio guides are great

I know it's crematorium, cemetery but worth a visit. Looks like a castle and some of the graves are incredible. Beautiful forest, park and pond. Just respect the peace of the place.

Beutiful, magical, Disney-like palace. It’s a very bizzare composure - palace is like from fairy tale, but at the end of it there is a crematory. And all of that in beutiful surroundings of a park that in fact is cementary (but the one for wealthy people I believe). But all in all it’s a must to visit while in Leipzig.

An absolutely stunning piece of land. Great for a walk, lots of hydrangeas and other flowering plants, a pond, willow trees, and a beautiful calm atmosphere. The pathways are very wide and flat, so quite accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. It's absolutely worth a visit.

Nice place to have a stroll. It's right next to the völkerschlachtdenkmal as well so lots to see around there. It's a beautiful cemetery and quiet, it also has toilet facilities near the entrance.

Most beautiful cemetery I ever saw.

Large area to walk around, nice and quite. Different birds to observe and occasionally hares.

Beautiful regular park. It is quite place with a lot of historical monuments.

Our visit was completely free. I found the museum very comprehensive and informative. There were lots of interesting exhibits and plenty of space. The information was displayed in German and English. Such a good museum for fre can't be anything less than five stars. Thanks for the experience!

It’s a nice museum to visit during your free time. If you visit Leipzig, you cannot miss it. It’s for free and offers a good understanding of the background history behind the city we now see. It also happens to be the old city town hall. You’ll find some interesting elements and tons of information in both German and English. The tour lasts 30 to 40 minutes I’d say. The museum is located in the middle of the city center so it’s close to other local attractions, restaurants and even the university. It’s a must!

This has some great exhibits, be prepared for a long stay. The employee had great English but they could be more polite when I mess up my German speaking.

Outstanding historic museum describing the life in East Germany between 1945 and the fall of Berlin's wall. Impressive and touching at the same time. The museum is well furnished, with no entrance fee. The descriptions are available in both German and English, a must. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Great museum to visit, lot's of history. Ticket is cheap and audio guide is included. Very friendly staff. Free locker for luggage storage. We spent almost 2.5 hours. Most interesting things were wedding ring of Martin Luther's wife and the original portrait of Bach.

The only place where I was able to find souvenirs was there.

A wonderful museum about post-war east Germany. English translations on most of the plaques, and very informative displays. The current (temporary) Ukrainian Photo exhibition is also very powerful and moving. Best of all, entry and bag storage is free. If you need to kill a few hours, this is a great place to do it. I loved my visit and learned a lot.

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.

I love the historic buildings in this square. Some are over 400 years old. From Friday through Sunday, the street comes alive with food and street performers. I loved the energy and vibe!

The Marktplatz in Leipzig always has something going on. While I visited this year, the Weinfest was happening. Also, from this central place you'll have a great point from which to decide to go to any place in Leipzig.

One of the best in Leipzig. You can do enjoying yourself with nice surrounding you. I spent like 1 hours here. The weather also nice during summer.

Great bars and eateries. Lovely buildings. Great beer. Could have done with a police presence to curtail a particularly aggressive individual smashing bottles two nights in a row in the same spot. Otherwise splendid.

🏙 Marktplatz Leipzig, The heart of the city. Surrounded by historic buildings and lively cafés, Leipzig’s market square has been the city’s vibrant meeting point for centuries. Here, history, culture, and everyday life come together in perfect harmony. ✨

I had the opportunity of visiting the Markt area during Weihnachtsmarkt and you can't get any better than this. The area is bustling with people, several food shops (of course you can try the traditional Glühwein), and much more.

Leipzig is beautiful! I was there at the end of May 2024. Live music on Marktplatz, food, beer. Awesome time.

A best place in Germany to spend time with family. And one of the best for a day trip from Leipzig. It definitely do require to spend a full day to see the park completely. One less attractive thing is the less number of activities for the small children under 7 years and specially under 3 years. Park is very large and have very nice scenic views. One of my favorite ride was red rollercoaster. Those who love slushy drink will get a lot here and you need a full day to sit on all rides. Enjoy your visit

We went there today and I should say I’m quite disappointed because I was having high expectations. I knew they opened yesterday but there was too many technical issues which they should check before opening we went to pyramid one first it wasn’t working and small roller coaster weren’t working after we spend some time other side of the park they worked but it shouldn’t even happen. When we finished we went to souvenir shop my bf wanted to buy souvenirs we waited in the queue for payment then they said they system got broken. We couldn’t buy the souvenirs as well. Overall I’m disappointed, I don’t think I would visit there again.

The park not very good. Old, cracked. Atrractions old and not designed to ride well because you got a lot of shaking. Hurricane would be so good, but ot was shaking so much i was hitting my head over and over again all over the rollercoaster.. Its not so cheap for this kind of park also. But if you wasnt anywhere but here your first park, it ok

The biggest issue in our opinion is the price. 90€ for two tickets, 5€ parking, 30€ two meals of frozen food, a mini waffle 3,50€, two slushies 15€. If you'd cut everything in half we still wouldn't rate it super high, but then it becomes much easier to stomach. There simply isn't enough "love" in the park. The attractions aren't very modern, many going back as far as decades ago. That in itself would be fine, if there would be new attractions to make up for it. I think the park is decent for families with children though, since they do have mostly attractions for that demographic. Adults are probably going to have a hard time (only 3 roller coasters) All in all this makes it a very tough sell, because you have many alternatives that are either priced much more competitively, or ones with a better reputation, being bigger and better. The big highlight was the pyramid. That was definitely worthy and beautiful to look at. Unfortunately the fact that you had to pay to get dried after the water slide of the pyramid left a bitter aftertaste. After all the expenses paying an additional 3€ just to get dried because the water slide completely left you wet and cold is just pure greed. Another positive experience was the castle rollercoaster, that one is beautiful, fun, although a little short. However that wasn't the most egregious thing that happened during our visit. We paid a decent bit more because of the Halloween season, despite that some of the Halloween attractions required additional pay? We've visited many amusement parks and we are aware of the cost of food, drinks, mini games where you can win plushies, there is plenty of that here in Belantis as well, but the fact that you have to pay additional money for seasonal attractions is extremely scummy behavior. Our last point, before coming to an end is about the logistics. We got lost multiple times with the entry to the attraction not being close to the attraction or for whatever illogical reason on a completely different side, quite far away from it.

Honestly, I was told to lower my expectations when coming here. As a result, I came to the park with very little expectations, but all my fears were for nothing. The park is very open, and there is nice theming for most of the attractions. I especially like the pyramid water ride, it’s quite unique. Staff is very friendly and even spoke English! (Was not expecting that to be honest). Pricing is on point too. Food-wise they can still improve. We took the pasta, and the adult portions seemed like they were meant for children. (They weren’t, we checked). Still, we had a great time here. I hope they try to water their grass a bit more, it would make a big difference and make everything seem a bit more green. Fun park though.

Pleasantly surprised by this amusement park! It has a great variety of roller coasters for the whole family and not crowded at all - despite a public holiday and a beautiful weather. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the Halloween theme. The only area for improvement could be the food offering. It was unfortunately too poor quality for such a price and too little variety. But overall highly recommend it as a one-off family experience.

I like this amusement park. My kids love this. If you visit here more than twice, I recommend you to purchase annual ticket. Annual tickets also provide discounted price for food in the restaurant.

Nice place for a walk. Most of the animals are far in the distance. We didn't see much. The farm animals were easier to see. However there was supposed to be riding, but there wasn't. Kids were sad about it, but had fun on the playground.

amazing place. mostly you ll see deers and pigs and owl maybe

Really nice place to walk and relax without streẞenlarm! The animal enclosures are well kept and huge. The WC is super clean and accessible. With a changing table available as well.

Made for an enjoyable, brisk winter walking spot. Would have been nice to see a few more animals but understandably many were sheltering from the cold! Not sure about keeping the owls in such small cages, seemed inhumane

Wildpark Leipzig is a fantastic destination for nature lovers and families, offering a variety of attractions and activities to enjoy. One of the standout features of this park is that it is free to enter, making it accessible to all visitors. The park itself is quite large, with multiple hiking routes that allow visitors to explore the beautiful surroundings at their own pace. Opposite the entrance there’s a small car park. There were sign present for bike to not to enter inside park however I have seen many people ignoring it and going inside with their bike The park is accessible by public transport. However, There’s only one bus route right at the entrance of the park and frequency is less compare to tram. After entering the park on left side you will get a spacious area dedicated to children's play, providing a great space for kids to have fun and burn off some energy. While entry to the park is free, it's worth noting that there are additional charges for certain activities such as camel rides and pony rides. However, these experiences can add an extra element of excitement for those interested. One of the unique aspects of Wildpark Leipzig is the opportunity to observe and interact with various animals. During feeding time, which typically takes place between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm, some animals like minks and otters can only be seen in action. This creates a special experience for visitors and adds to the park's charm. To further engage with the animals, you can purchase feeding boxes from vending machines in the park. These boxes allow you to feed various species of rams and goats, and they cost exactly 50 cents. Just make sure to bring exact change to use the vending machine. A visit to Wildpark Leipzig wouldn't be complete without exploring the deer and bison enclosures. These majestic animals are a must-see. The park also features several owl enclosures, although some visitors may find the cages to be relatively small compared to the size of the birds. However, seeing these magnificent creatures up close can still be quite fascinating. In addition to the animal exhibits, Wildpark Leipzig boasts a tranquil pond where you can spot a few small tortoises. These gentle creatures add a touch of serenity to the park's atmosphere. If you find yourself needing a break or a bite to eat, there are several restaurants conveniently located in the park, opposite the children's play area. This allows you to relax and recharge before continuing your exploration. Overall, Wildpark Leipzig offers a wonderful experience for visitors of all ages. From its free admission to the opportunity to interact with animals and enjoy outdoor activities, it's a great place to spend a day immersed in nature. Always my wildpark visit ends by looking at the sunset at near by Cospunder see which you can get to pretty easily using public transport or by driving your own car.

A very atmospheric place to be with a number of options to spend your time on and a number of animals to see. A good and mostly free alternative to the city Zoo.

Great zoological park in the south of Leipzig which will cost you nothing at all👍🏾😱 Here you can watch deers, goats, elks, foxes and other small native European animals. Don’t expect lions and those other special like animals. You can find them in the real zoo in Leipzig. 🦉🐗🐐🦌 You can also buy animal food from machines there for just one euro. If you want to chill and have a meal, then checkout the small “Russian” bistro in the park. This one was built during the socialist era when East Germany was a country on it’s own. There is also another small place, where you can have the typical German Bratwurst and other stuff, and a big restaurant, where you might have to pay more.

A palace with a small garden in front. There is a restaurant inside and a small Café where you can get wine and coffee to go. I didn’t see that the facilities were open to the public.

Quite a nice complex, that's well kept, with a kafeteria on site, however it is missing a bigger garden. If you are not interested in a museum it's a 5 minute visit and photos.

Nice and small cafe, dogs are sadly not allowed inside but in summer the outdoor seating is very nice! The garden cafe opening times are 14-18 (wednesday-sat) and 12-18 (sundays)

Firstly I think that It’s tourist attraction, but if you don’t have plans to make a picnic or get married here, you can skip this place :D

We only got to see the smaller garden, but it was beautiful…

Wonderful place to have a coffee. Really nice place and good coffee.

Neat place for a short break, some cake and a coffee.

The police control sabotaged my flight, and that of 10 more people flying to Tirana. I waited one hour and didn't make it. Probably the reason Wizzair will stop flying to Tirana.

DHL cargo base. But a few pax transfer operation continue. Turkish airlines. Sun express. Pegasus.

Everything went smoothly at the airport until passport control. I politely asked the officer if he could speak English, and he looked at me and said, “But this is Germany” Yes sir, it is Germany—at an international airport where people from every corner of the world arrive. I didn’t know that speaking a second language at the border was considered a security threat. Maybe the biggest obstacle here isn’t the passport, but basic hospitality. Other than that, smooth airport, decent facilities. Just beware of the “English is forbidden” policy at passport control.

I fly from this airport on a regular basis and each time I'm amazed at how rude and inconsiderate the security check staff is. For some reason, it is assumed that those in charge have to yell directions in German and not even once consider that the person they're dealing with is a foreigner. This time it was a woman who thought they had the right to talk to me in a manner that is far from professional and considerate. I like this airport in the sense that it's extremely convenient and easy to navigate but I end up upset each time because of how I'm being treated as a foreigner. This is absolutely unacceptable.

One of the elevators from the train station did not work, but there was no signage of malfuction. Also the moving sidewalks did not work. Check-in and boarding were smooth, but security check slow. This seemed to be because most of the flights are to holiday destinations, and many of the passengera are inexperienced fliers.

This is a constructive feedback for the management: Coming with a car is a disaster. No intuitive signs directing to the airport itself. The google maps shows that the airport is in the middle of the highway. And the signs for departure shows different directions than the arrivals - which actually, both (arrivals and departure gates) are in one small building without any walls in between. It would be very helpful for the people to have bigger and simple signs to orient themselves to got in the airport. There is no need of two different routes for arrivals and departures, when both are in one 300-400sq/m building.

Good Airport Need to more English board because systems is older

Convenient, functional, and quieter than Frankfurt's. There are many shops, including a supermarket. Many hotels are just a few steps away, including mine. I arrived there at 9pm from Berlin, and have no problem to find my hotel. The city is very walkable. I leave early a few days later, for 11am flight home from FRA - Frankfurt airport, again, all is well.

Europe's largest train station and one of the best as well. All the train platforms is on one level but food and drinks option on several levels, you really can find anything from cafe's to Indian to your fav American chains.

The station is huge with lots of shopping options however in the whole station there is no option for a traveller who is in need of charging his/her mobile phone... There are many USB points in an area with high tables I the middle of the retail area, however they are all broken! 😞

Beautiful and clean train station, with lots of shops, restaurants, and supermarkets - definitely worth visiting!

Great Old Leipzig Central Station Fun Fact: It’s the biggest Oneway Train Station in Europe.

The bigest train station in Europe by area used. I was even lost for 10 min when I first time here. All facilites and shopping mall are good.

Pretty fun place for friends! Nice selection of food while you still wait for your ICE. The washrooms are really clean!

I was very happy that I could visit and try the coffee here with my classmates before leaving Leipzig. This is the best coffee shop in Germany I think with lots of history and nice vibe. Cannot recommend enough!!!

Great food, don’t pay attention that it’s a tourist place, you can actually eat delicious food here, at least while their current chef is at place. My respect to that particular person— the chef - all the dishes were fresh and exquisite. Once more, I never expected that, but please keep it as long as possible!

Amazing historic cafe to visit if you're ever in Leipzig. Great coffee choices and traditional German food. The waiters were very courteous and even let me practice my (rather bad) German. Highly recommend

A quaint place, beautifully renovated inside (including a museum and showrooms, with coffee tables set as in the good old days). There is in- and outdoor seating. Service can get overwhelmed by many customers – the area is as busy and touristy as it will get in Leipzig. Hence not exactly quiet, and lots of commotion outside. It's worth a visit for the historic flair, notably within. The prices are commensurate with the location. A decent place in terms of coffee and cake.

A very poor experience when we visited one evening whilst in Leipzig, resulting is us quickly leaving. When entering there was no welcome or attempt by the young staff members to engage with ourselves or any of the other customers. We found a table and menus however could not order as the staff were too busy watching videos on their phones behind the counter. A massive shame and disappointing experience.

good coffee and cheesecake. service is very good. the coffee museum upstairs is also interesting

A super old coffeehouse, worth a visit for the experience.

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

Nice place

Very beautiful and enjoyable place

Really beautiful

Awesome

Super!

Beautiful place

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.

What an experience I could tell you it takes you through the whole of his life and I learned a lot. There are some amazing things to listen to and see. So I really advise you when you're in Leipzig to visit this museum it's worth the money about 10 euro for a regular ticket.

This museum is very human. Mendelssohn lived in such a large apartment yet the way the museum presents his story makes it feel humble and delicate. Definitely worth a visit for 2 hours at least to take in all the details. One hour is too short I’d say.

Great museum with interactive multi-media installations. We used the audio guides at points of interest that made learning the history of Mendelssohn and his house much more intimate. Don't skip the interactive digital orchestra on the ground floor, it was incredible! Also check out the well-kept garden behind the house.

As a history and classical music lover, this place was on my wish list of what to see in Leipzig. My friend who lives in Leipzig told me it's a really nice fun place and that she went there there at least two times before. Well, she wasn't lying. First impression was a beautiful serene atmosphere, two very kind cashiers who perfectly answered all our questions and well functioning lockers for backpacks. The ground floor was a place for rather interesting conducting simulator which we all really enjoyed and then we went to the upper floors. The whole museum is beautifuly interactive, full of drawers with exhibited objects inside so they don't disturb the authenticity of Felix's floor. One can see there his death mask, replicas of his and his wife's clothes, his painting, a lock of his hair and even take three recipes that Felix himself liked to eat. Then there is Fanny's floor which is slightly more dreamy. It again shows some of the objects she used, a room witha wall full of her compositions a very cute room with a short movie about her life which is really well and beautifuly done and probably a high-light of the whole museum (at least for us silly girls), a room with the Biedermeier clothes which you can take on, then take a picture through a special camera and then download the picture for free on your phone. Well, long Story short, it's a beautiful interesting place with amazing calming atmosphere. Can only recommend.

A beautiful, calming and well-curated museum in the home of the Mendelssohns. The exhibition pieces are interesting and give you an impression of their life and the talents of the children, primarily Felix. There is a handy audio guide plus a clever interactive pieces, including one where you can conduct one of his pieces. I sucked but I'm sure you won't. Ten euros well spent which also helps to preserve this charming space.

My teenage son is into orchestra and so was looking forward to seeing Mendelssohn-Haus. He gives it 5/5 stars, on the scale where Disney World got three stars. It was fun to conduct the virtual orchestra, and lots of good information with the audio tour. There's also antique rooms restored to Mendelssohn time. We ended up there about two hours although to be fair, the rest of us were napping listening to son conduct the symphony music.

Wonderfully interesting and fantastically kept. The music library was astonishing.

Very delicious food, helpful and gentle staff and a cozy place to be!

Wow! What a cozy and elegant restaurant. The service was fantastic and the food excellent. You definitely need to reserve beforehand because it is quite small and exclusive.

I had a really good esperience at Münsters. All Dishes were combining different taste and traditions that left be a bit sceptical by ordering, but the outcome was a perfect combination. Staff was superfriendly and the location really nice

The romantic location of our first date. We returned one year later, engaged. Then again recently for our first post-lockdown outing. Warm friendly service, excellent wine and delicious food. Münsters will always be more than a restaurant to us.

Absolutely amazing, go and enjoy yourself in a relaxed atmosphere with outstanding food!

We had such a lovely evening at your restaurant. Staff was very friendly, relaxed atmosphere and everyone loved their food. It had a real neighbourly vibe witnessing so many people greeting one another. Only thing to say is that it would be great to have a drinks menu even though the menu changes often, maybe a drinks menu of everything that you always got there such as cocktails and beer, then printing a separate menu for wine whenever it changes.

We always enjoy to go the Munsters and what stands out the most are the owners and their quality of the service which is rare in Leipzig. They also have a nice selection of wine and always keen to help you choose what you can drink. They can improve their selection for vegetarian dishes but we will be back for sure.
