Leipzig combines a rich history with a vibrant arts and cultural scene, creative neighbourhoods and countless opportunities to explore and enjoy.

Right on the doorstep of the Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel Handelshof lies the historic Old Town, with its charming shopping arcades, the Old Town Hall and the Baroque Old Stock Exchange. The famous St. Thomas Church, St. Nicholas Church,** Leipzig Opera House** and Gewandhaus Concert Hall are also just a short walk away.

Those looking to discover Leipzig beyond its famous landmarks should explore the lively Südvorstadt district with its popular Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, or the creative neighbourhood of Plagwitz, known for its galleries, cafés and restaurants along the Karl Heine Canal. Art enthusiasts will enjoy the Spinnerei, a former cotton mill turned contemporary art hub, and the Museum of Fine Arts.

For a relaxing break surrounded by nature, Clara Zetkin Park and the surrounding lakes offer plenty of opportunities to unwind. Leipzig Zoo, home to the impressive tropical world of Gondwanaland, is also well worth a visit.

Whether you're interested in music, art, culinary experiences, shopping or nature, Leipzig offers a unique mix of experiences best discovered firsthand.
