Reise-Taschenbuch Leipzig

About the Book

Music city, city of heroes, trade fair city, book city, little Paris, global nest, Hypezig – the abundance of nicknames illustrates how diverse, dynamic, and practical Leipzig is. Where else do Saxon coziness and cosmopolitanism coexist without contradiction? The city offers a multifaceted mix from Bach to contemporary art, from Gründerzeit architecture to graffiti, from Faust's barrel ride to the Peaceful Revolution, and from café culture to cabaret. The outstanding cultural offerings, short distances, generous green spaces, and bathing lakes right at your doorstep make Leipzig a livable city and the perfect destination for a city trip. Immerse yourself in Leipzig, simply follow the tours and favorite spots of Anna-Sylvia Goldammer, and spend wonderful days in Leipzig – perhaps with a few excursions to the beautiful surroundings of the city.
