Leipzig Travel Answers

Cost depends on how far you want to go. So I'm not able to give you detailed info on that. But using local transport is in any way cheaper than a taxi, even if you are 2 persons.

A taxi would be the reasonable means of transport if you want to go to remote places that are not served well by public transport. Or if you want to go late at night when there are no buses or trams any more.

If you tell us where you will be starting from it will help people to advise you. It is unusual not to see fares on the excellent bahn.de unless you are looking for dates too far in advance or for an international service.

Like Bernd I would be very surprised indeed if a taxi were cheaper than public transport, even for 2 people.

If you don't see fares on the Bahn website, your trip is either international, or within a regional public transport network (Verkehrsverbund) - I assume the latter.

Is that Leipzig to Chemnitz, or what and where?

Leipzig's public transport network has a website but the English version has no content, hence of no use to you. But you'll have to tell us from where to where you want to go, otherwise we cannot look up the fares. As a rule of thumb, though, public transport costs a fraction of the taxi fare. Taxis are by far the most expensive means of transport, and nobody would even consider using them from city to city unless there are serious reasons like walking difficulties combined with a well-filled purse.

Agree with you..but I have a WIFE..:-) I need to get airport Hale from center of the town.

Sorry. I've missed part of the text. I need to get  'Halle Airport'from the center of the town. In Google I found that it costs  about 14 euro in taxi and no any information about price from DB, may be ~ 7-8 euro for 2 person, right?

Alas :-((

I think so too, but I'll have a luggage+WIFE..

That's why I'm asking..

I believe I'll manage but anyway want to know something in advance...

Leipzig to Leipzig/Halle Airport is EUR 4,00 per person. No matter from which train station or tram or bus stop you start in Leipzig. The RE trains from Leipzig Hbf to the airport need 14 minutes. Note that the IC trains on this route are not covered by this ticket.

By taxi you have to calculate 35 minutes from central Leipzig to the airport. Approx. EUR 40.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! Very FULL reply !

Thank you. I've received reply on my question already. So, gess know all..

In case you have a lot of heavy baggage ( I learn that you travel with a wife ;o))) then going by train could be a bit uncomfortable. But there are some airport shuttle companies. They pick you up at your hotel and bring you to the airport. They are more expensive than the train but cheaper than a taxi. I'm sure your hotel reception staff can help you with that.

I think so too. Thanks for reply..
