Leipzig - a city to explore and experience

Leipzig charms visitors with a vibrant cultural scene and lively neighbourhoods such as Südvorstadt and Plagwitz, perfect for evenings out and creative discoveries.

At the heart of the city lies the historic centre and Old Town. Landmarks such as the Old and New Town Halls, the market square (Markt) and the elegant Baroque Old Stock Exchange are all within easy reach of the Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel Handelshof and invite you to explore on foot. Among Leipzig’s most iconic sights are two remarkable churches: St. Thomas Church, closely associated with Johann Sebastian Bach, and St. Nicholas Church, a symbol of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989.

Beyond the centre, Leipzig reveals its relaxed, creative side. The famous Karl-Liebknecht-Straße — known locally as “Karli” — runs through the southern districts and is lined with cafés, bars, boutiques, galleries and cinemas, making it a favourite meeting place day and night. In summer, the city’s clear lakes, especially Cospuden Lake, offer the perfect escape for swimming, sailing, surfing or simply unwinding by the water.
