Read More About Leipzig
“In Leipzig, you’ll discover a new generation of artists and cultural provocateurs molding this city into one of Germany’s most dynamic and welcoming destinations. […] In this city that fostered Bach, Mendelssohn, Goethe, and Nietzsche, the centuries-old spirit of experimentation and the enduring ethos of possibility seem stronger than ever. Leipzig's driving force is hospitality — to new ideas, to new creativity, to new people. And none of this is a departure from its rich history. Indeed, it's on that venerable foundation that contemporary Leipzig is building its modern magic.”
-From “Here’s Why Leipzig is Germany’s Most Fascinating City” (Travel+Leisure)
“When you think of visiting Germany, there are just so many cities (and towns) that leap right to the top of the list with so many other gems kinda overlooked. […] When we arrived, I just thought, ‘This city is so beautiful! There are so many amazing sights to see here—how have we never visited or even thought to visit before this!’”
