Do the Leipzig-Zag, Leipzig, Germany
I think Leipzig is one of those great cities that is usually experienced as an after-thought or out of convenience. It's not on most people's Germany tours or itineraries, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have amazing things to offer! My husband and I spent a drizzly March day in Leipzig, and I know for sure that it's also a fabulous Christmas market to come to in December. I was thrilled to find a "Winter Market" in聽Augustusplatz聽(basically a Christmas market...not at Christmas!), and we had delicious meals while learning a lot of history.
We chose to start our tour of Leipzig in the southern part of the city. The massive聽Monument to the Battle of the Nations聽is in a large cemetery and a tribute to the battle when Napoleon was defeated by an alliance of countries in Leipzig. It's impressive from every angle, and worth the while to take a stroll around the huge green space.
Retro and interesting聽Hotel Seeblick聽was our selection for lunch, but our other great option would have been the聽Bayerischer Bahnhof Gasthaus & Gosebrauerei, a restaurant in a former train station. Seeblick serves breakfast basically all day, and has one of those menus with so many incredible options that you don't want to just pick one. Most of the breakfast plates are themed by country, so the international cuisine with a German twist was very creative and fun to decide between! ......
