Tour

Leipzig is one of the least expensive and most livable cities in Saxony, a state in the former East Germany. It was heavily bombed during World War II, so do not expect a medieval district or anything like that. The city center was almost completely destroyed by the Allies, but it was rebuilt after the war, and today, Leipzig is a vibrant, beautiful, and green city with many arrows in its bow: it's a safe place with a low crime rate; it boasts a vibrant nightlife with a variety of bars and clubs; it's a bike-friendly city with a network of bike lanes and pedestrian walkways; it has an excellent public transportation system; it's the city of music and the capital of cabaret with a rich cultural scene throughout the year. In short, if you have time, stop here for a few days to do some sports - the city is an active person's paradise - and recharge your batteries with a pitcher of fresh lager.
