Leipzig Travel Forum

Hello everyone!
I'm going to live in Leipzig next semester and I'm schedule my flights so I wanted to know if anyone could give me some help on the cheaper way to get to Leipzig from Frankfurt or from Berlin. I've heard that from Berlin there are some specials trains that pass on Leipzig and are cheaper. Does anyone know about them? :) And if you do, can you please give me the name of the company so I can check the prices and schedule online?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
Maria

We are flying direct from Australia to Frankfurt(takes about 20 hours)and then need to go onto Leipzig immediately.

Is the train from Frankfurt to Leipzig a good option? Do the trainis leave from Frankfurt airport?

thanks

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.

Hi,
has anybody good suggestions for nice places in Leipzig? I am there just for one day. What are the hip quarters, not the touristic places but nice pubs, shops etc. Maybe you know a good fair prized restaurant or cafe that is a must? Also I am interested in architecture, just in case anybody knows some news in modern architecture.
As for museums: Which one would you prefer: a) www.mdbk.de or b)www.gfzk.de
Any tips for the "Spinnerei"?
Thank you so much,
Chris.

Hi there,

My sis is going to Leipzig this late April to early May. Just want to know what's the weather like during that time and what types of clothes that she needs to wear during that time? Any interesting place to visit there? Any interesting and special events taking place during April to May?
Thks in advance for the information. I would be much appreciated.

Can anyone suggest a reliable company that offers guided walking tours of Leipzig? We are to spend four days there soon (6 of us - all English speakers and all of mature years! Though we are still very active!)
Ideally we would like 2 to 3 hours on our first morning (a Thursday) so as to get an overview of the city and perhaps a peek at one or two of the lesser-known areas.

My husband and I will be in Leipzig in December 2009 and would like to study Bach's history and music. Do you any events or courses on at this time for English speaking people?

Many thanks,

Marian cole

I will be travelling to Berlin from Leipzig on Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket .
Is this ticket valid for local travel inside Berlin ( The S bahn, U bahn , tram and bus ) too?

I have heard that there is now overnight accommodation available in Colditz Castle. My wife and I will be visiting there in early May and wish to find out where we can book our accomodation

Hi,

I'm looking for information on bus timetables/prices for a return ticket from Leipzig to Dresden. I can find info on trains but as they're quite expensive I thought I'd check out the buses.

Does anyone know how long the journey takes by bus from Leipzig Hauptbanhof to Dresden Zentrum and how much it costs. Links to any bus company websites would be helpful.

Thanks!

I love the eyeglass frames available in Germany and am in the market for a new Bogner handbag. I'm not going to have much time to window shop and browse in Leipzig so any suggestions on specific shops to target for these items would be most appreciated. Thanks!!!

I shall be in Leipzig over Christmas and would like to attend the Christmas Motet (24th) and the carols (20-22th) at St Thomas Kirch. Does one need to buy tickets ahead or is it like a typical church event open to everyone who gets there early enough?

If one just needs to be early, how early do we need to be?

If we need tickets, how do I order them?

Thank you.

I was trying to correct a typo. Also, they was 85,00 Euro for the car. Don't know what the question mark is doing there.

I wonder if anyone can suggest a limo or cab service in Leipzig that pre-books airport tranfers. My hotel can arrange a car but the cost seemed excesive -- €85,00 one way. I know the express train is an option but I would prefer door to door if possible. Thanks.

I am going to be visiting Leipzig in a couple of weeks. I'm currently booked at The Furstenhof but recently stumbled on Victor´s Residenz-Hotel Leipzig on another website. There were only three reviews and the one offering "candid shots" used photos directly from the hotel's website. The location sounded a bit more convenient but I haven't been able to find out much about the hotel. Is it a luxury property? Has anyone seen it or stayed there? Any feedback would be appreciated. I wouldn't want to make a mistake to cut six minutes off of a walk!
