Leipzig - trendy city of trade fairs and culture

Leipzig offers its visitors a diverse cultural scene as well as entertainment districts such as Südvorstadt or Plagwitz for going out.

The city center with the Old Town is the heart of Leipzig. The Old and New Town Halls, the market square and the baroque Old Stock Exchange, not far from the Steigenberger Icon Grand Hotel Handelshof, are well worth a sightseeing tour. Two important churches are among the top sights in Leipzig: St. Thomas Church, where prominent figures such as Johann Sebastian Bach once worked, and the simple St. Nicholas Church, which played a key role during the Peaceful Revolution of 1989. Friendly pubs, cafés and restaurants are not only to be found in the city center. The so-called Karli-Straße crosses the southern suburbs and offers a wide range of cultural gems such as clubs, boutiques, galleries, cinemas and other nightlife options. In summer, the clean lakes such as Lake Cospuden invite you to swim, surf, sail or simply laze around.
