About Leipzig

Leipzig is the perfect destination for a city break, with a wealth of culture, music, architecture and street markets to explore. Located just an hour south of Berlin, the city is full of things to see and experience. Augustusplatz, the heart of Leipzig, is surrounded by Baroque style buildings and a maze of cobblestone lanes, wide pedestrianised zones, courtyards and passages. Music fans will love visiting the Bach Museum and St Thomas Church, while art lovers will be delighted by the Spinnerei, a former cotton mill now home to a thriving artist community with galleries and workshops. Follow the city's canals to Lake Cospuden or Leipzig New Lakeland recreation area, or spend the evening in one of the 1400 bars and restaurants, many with alfresco seating. And if you're visiting in winter, don't miss the Leipzig Christmas Market, with over 260 stalls offering festive gifts. With flights from the UK taking just two hours, holidays to Leipzig are ideal for short breaks and long weekends.

Leipzig is one of...

Travelling in the age of coronavirus - A weekend in Leipzig

15th June 2020 by Budget Traveller

The journey begins again. This was our first trip anywhere since the 10th March when we went to Amsterdam for my birthday/work trip. After the stress and strain of the last few months, packing the bag feels like a release. I dust off the packing cube. It has been sulking in the bitter depths of my backpack since early March. I’m little unsure of what to pack. I mentally go through my checklist. Sometimes, its these small rituals of travel that you miss the most about travel. We pack our...
