Leipzig Old Town

Visit the historical city center of Leipzig where history, art and music run through its veins and a fusion of old and new buildings will surprise you at every turn. Beautiful sights include the Market Square with the Old Town Hall, a prime example of Renaissance architecture that’s home to the Museum of City History. The square is a delightful spacious area where you can see locals in action. Don’t miss out on the Christmas and Easter Markets or the Wine Festival!

Feel Leipzig’s connection with music at St. Thomas Church with the tomb of Johann Sebastian Bach inside (he built his career here!), and you can listen to a special choir boys performance every Friday and Saturday. Music lovers can also visit the Leipzig Opera House and Gewandhaus concert hall.

As you wander around, you’ll see many picturesque churches and squares - not to mention the largest; Augustusplatz. Look up at the City High-Rise building that guarantees the best sights of the city from its observation platform. Stop along the way for a drink or a bite to eat in the many bars and restaurants and enjoy the relaxed buzz of the city center.
