🇩🇪 Leipzig Travel Guide, Germany

Itinerary 🗺️ Old Town Hall → St. Thomas Church → Bach Museum → New Town Hall → Leipzig University → St. Nicholas Church → Leipzig Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) Leipzig, once the largest city in East Germany, has relatively concentrated attractions. If you skip the zoo, 3 hours is enough to explore the city center 🏙️. However, if you’re interested, the Leipzig Zoo is highly recommended and can easily be included in a one-day trip 🐾. Transportation 🚆 We took the train from Berlin to Leipzig. At the station, find a ticket machine (like the one pictured below), enter your departure and destination, and purchase your ticket. The journey takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes, costing around €60. German trains are truly exceptional — probably the only ones in Europe that rival China’s high-speed rail in comfort 🚄. They are also extremely punctual, often arriving exactly on time as predicted. Alternatively, you can take a FlixBus 🚌, which is about one-third the price of the train ticket.
