LEIPZIG GERMANY TOUR - SORTA
It's time to take you on a Leipzig Germany Tour, sorta. What I mean by it's sort of a Leipzig Germany Tour is that it's not comprehensive and showing you all the this and that. It's more me looking for a Doctor but having no luck. In the process though we get to see lots of the Leipzig, Germany which was cool.

Except for those in travel blogging circles, Leipzig, Germany has been an unknown quantity among travelers until recently. As the tenth largest city in Germany with a population of only 570,000 people, it has an easy-going feel to it, and with a history stretching back to the Holy Roman Empire, it is an intriguing place for fans of culture and history. This and other topics will be covered in a Leipzig Germany Tour, which are offered by a number of providers easily found upon arrival.
Doing Leipzig solo
If you rather do a Leipzig Germany Tour by yourself, it is easy to hit all the major attractions in town within a day or two. Start by visiting St. Thomas Church, where Johann Sebastian Bach served as the cantor (i.e. he directed its choir) until his death in 1750. He is buried in the sanctuary of the church, and there is a museum here dedicated to his life's work, so be sure to pay your respects to the great composer by visiting for an hour or so.
Nikolaikirche is another church that is well worth your time. The largest in the city, it is best known for being one of the places where non-violent resistance against Communism in East Germany began. Starting in 1982, prayers for peace are held here every Monday. This event took on a political tone from 1989 to 1991, as the movement to end totalitarian rule in East Germany became a topic that was discussed during these meetings.
Those interested in the history of warfare should check out the Völkerschlachtdenkmal. A monument built to honor those that died in the Battle of Leipzig, it marks the spot where Russians, Prussians and Austrians joined forces to stop the advance of Napoleon's army. Located on the battlefield where 100,000 soldiers from both sides lost their lives, it is a sobering reminder of the staggering human cost of war.
On a lighter note, any Leipzig Germany Tour should include a visit to Market Square. Surrounded by buildings constructed in styles ranging from Late Gothic to Baroque, the centre of the square is home to food stalls and trucks, as well as an atmospheric Christmas Market in-season.

Leipzig Germany Travel Vlog I Leipzig Things to do & City Tour
Which city have you been to in Germany?
Which city are you planning to visit in Germany?
The most common replies to these questions of mine are:
• Berlin
• Hamburg
• Munich
• Frankfurt
For as long as I have been travelling the world I haven't met many foreigners who have visited the city that is sort of like my hometown - Leipzig. One reason is that many foreigners have never even heard of Leipzi!. And for those people who have heard of this lively city, most underestimate it. I really think it is worth putting the largest city of Saxonia (600 000 inhabitants) on your bucket list while traveling Germany. Most of my close friends live in Leipzig and I have literally spent half of my life there as I grew up about 45 minutes away from Leipzig. When it comes to shopping, leisure and partying most of the time we would go to Leipzig. That´s why I feel so connected to the city and why I know the cities hotspots which are off the beaten tracks quite well.
In my video I am going to give you a short impression of what Leipzig is all about.

World Travel Blog Episode 28: Leipzig, Germany
Leipzig (/ˈlaɪpsɪɡ/; German: [ˈlaɪptsɪç] (About this sound listen), Lower Sorbian: Lipsk, Polish: Lipsk, Czech: Lipsko) is the largest city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. With a population of 582,277 inhabitants[3] (1.1 million[4] residents in the larger urban zone)[1] it is Germany's tenth most populous city.[5][6] Leipzig is located about 160 kilometres (99 mi) southwest of Berlin at the confluence of the White Elster, Pleisse, and Parthe rivers at the southern end of the North German Plain.
Leipzig has been a trade city since at least the time of the Holy Roman Empire.[7] The city sits at the intersection of the Via Regia and Via Imperii, two important medieval trade routes. Leipzig was once one of the major European centers of learning and culture in fields such as music and publishing.[8] Leipzig became a major urban center within the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) after the Second World War, but its cultural and economic importance declined.[8]
Leipzig later played a significant role in instigating the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, through events which took place in and around St. Nicholas Church. Since the reunification of Germany, Leipzig has undergone significant change with the restoration of some historical buildings, the demolition of others, and the development of a modern transport infrastructure.[9] Leipzig today is an economic center and the most livable city in Germany, according to the GfK marketing research institution.[10] Oper Leipzig is one of the most prominent opera houses in Germany, and Leipzig Zoological Garden is one of the most modern zoos in Europe and ranks first in Germany and second in Europe according to Anthony Sheridan.[11][12] Since the opening of the Leipzig City Tunnel in 2013, Leipzig forms the centerpiece of the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland public transit system.[13] Leipzig is currently listed as Gamma World City[14] and Germany's Boomtown.[15] Outside of Leipzig the Neuseenland district forms a huge lake area of approximately 300 square kilometres (120 sq mi).[16]
The Leipzig Opera traces its establishment to the year 1693, making it the third oldest opera venue in Europe after La Fenice (Venice, Italy) and the Hamburg State Opera (Hamburg, Germany). The famous University of Music and Theatre Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is located in this city. It was during his stay in this city that Friedrich Schiller wrote the famous Ode to Joy.
EXPLORING GERMANY ????️ #Leipzig City Vlog (Architecture Sightseeing)
In late December of 2019, I went to Leipzig for the first time ever. It's a big, popular and well-known German city in Sachsen (Saxony), and a very 'creative' & culturally rich one as well. In Leipzig, you can find many different old buildings and beautiful German architecture from different architectural styles and centuries. We also went to the local Christmas market there, which you can see in this Leipzig sightseeing vlog as well. Enjoy!
