All the Best Things to Do in Leipzig, Germany, Leipzig, Germany

Of all the destinations in Germany I had planned for my recent German trip, Leipzig may have been my most anticipated. Why exactly I don’t know, but I was extremely curious about this city in east Germany. I had a faint recollection of visiting Leipzig as a child but I really didn’t know what was in store for me there. Unlike cities like Berlin and Hamburg, I wasn’t already deeply familiar with the most popular things to do in Leipzig. Just the way I like it.

That being said, I had heard good word of mouth about Leipzig from snippets here and there.

I had two full days of sightseeing and I feel like there are still so many sights that I missed.
