I would be grateful if anyone could tell me if there is any free on street parking near "Johannisallee" as we are planning to visit a friend in that area. I just want to be prepared for our visit as it is our 1st time in the city with a car. I also don't mind a bit of walk if necessary.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I was wondering if anyone has seen or stayed at the recently re-done Leipzig PentaHotel? I'm going to be in Leipzig for a couple of days in early December.

That said, I stumbled on the Pentahotel's website earlier this evening and it looked interested-- almost too good to be true. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

My husband and I will travelling by train in Germany in September and before I make some seat reservations I need some advice. We are travelling from Berlin to Frankfurt and were planning on leaving on the 6.52am train from Berlin HBF arriving in Frankfurt at Frankfurt Main at 11.35. This train has a 6 minute stop and change of train at Leipzig. Can anyone tell me if this also means a change of platforms or would it be safer to take an earlier train which goes direct to Frankfurt or the next one which goes via Hanover. We will have 2 pieces of luggage with us and we speak no German. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I would like to know how far the Atlanta Hotel at Südring 21 is from the Agra ? A map seems to indicate that it is less than 3km. Is this about right ? We don't mind a 3km walk but just want to ensure this is correct. Also do trams run to the area in which the hotel is ? The event we are attending includes free use of public transportation (tram, city-busses, regional trains, surburban trains) within the zone 110 of MDV. Does the hotel fall with this zone ? Thanks in advsnce for any information. PJ
