Hello,

I have been living in Leipzig these past 2 months at a university residence for researchers, and must move out soon. I am considering a move, to either a furnished apartment or one with a kitchen already installed. Can anyone make a suggestion as to what part of town is both nice (I'd like to hold on to my hubcaps once I get a car... ;-) ) and good value (not inflated prices like Zentrum, but served by the tram system)?

Best regards,

JME

Hello,
I will be arriving to Leipzig for the FIFA World Cup draw on December 9. I need a hotel close to the Leipzig Messe.
Could you suggest one?

Thanks,

Hello,

I am a researcher, originally from Montreal, Canada, and now living in Tsukuba, Japan. I may have an opportunity in Leipzig, and I would like to find out more about the place.

My brother, who lived in Germany in the past, did not have kind words about the place, and evoked the issue of ethnocentric groups made up disenfranchised youths, but it's possible that he was being unduly alarmist. My wife is Japanese, and I would like to go somewhere where she and I can fit in.

Is it an open-minded, safe place? Is it feasible for us to be comfortable there with just English, until we master a little German?

What is there to do, see and eat? We love food, particularly French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Thai. Is there a jazz place? Latin dancing? How is the weather? How is the health system: long waiting periods like Canada, tremendous inequities like the US, or well managed, like Japan's?

Please advise.

I've read that they've found the world's oldest civilization at Aythra, just out of Leipzig. Can anyone tell me whether there are any dig sites there that are open to tourists yet, and whether there's anything worth seeing? (I've been to some decent archaeology attractions in Switzerland and Greece, so I'm just wondering...)

Hallo!

Does anyone have any suggestions on:

1. A relatively cheap, central hotel which is quite near the hauptbahnhof? Something that would cost around 45-60 euros per night.

2. What are some of the best areas to go to in terms of nightlife for the 25 - 35 age bracket?

Danke!

I'm hoping to be in Leipzig in May & would appreciate any cafe/restaurant recommendations for vegetarians.

Thanks

Hi everybody,

thinking about travel plans for the next months I came up with the idea to visit Leipzig. It would be around Easter time and I would have 2 days (1 night), Friday and Saturday. Friday being a holiday (Good Friday) with maybe a few things closed - would it be worthwhile driving there for two days? Is it enough to get an idea about the importance of that city with regard to history, music, literature etc?

Thanks for your help.

I am interested in renting four 2-way radios for use in Leipzig and would prefer units that have a range of at least 6 miles.

If I can't find any to rent, I'd be happy to buy them [if they aren't too costly]

I would prefer to set up the details from the US before I leave for Germany, so I don't have to worry about it once I'm there.

And before you suggest it, we do not want cellular phones. As I understand it security will no longer let people bring cell phones into the venues during Treffen.

Anyone got any tips?

I will be travelling to Leipzig in May and a freind who has been there once and does not speak German claims she had quite a difficult time conversing with shopkeepers, etc. I'm afraid she was just afraid to try speaking to someone in a foreign country [this was her first trip abroad].

Although I don't speak German, I do speak Italian and some French [although I suspect neither will help me much]. So I'm wondering if it will be very difficult for me to get by alone without speaking the language.

Thanks!

Hi all

What is the rail service like between Berlin and Leipzig? How long does it take and how much is it?

I am in Berlin on business from 14th March, so wanted to come to Leipzig the weekend before. Is it lively on a Saturday night?

Thanks

I like to know if there is a luggage storage in the Liepzig Hauptbahnhof where I can leave a big dufflebag for few hours in between catching a train to Berlin.

What is the public transport like in Leipzig? Do you buy tickets on the bus ? tram? or do you have to buy them before? How much are they

Thanks

Hello, new friends,

We're spending one day in Leipzig before traveling to Posterstein for my son's wedding.

1) Anyone know of a good 1/2 day bus tour we can take? Our hotel is right near the zoo where I want to visit my "cousins", and I want to pay homage to Papa Bach.

2) How do we get from Leipzig to Posterstein? Altenburg may be close enough, but I'm having trouble finding the right site to get a train schedule.

Thanks all, for your help.

does anybody can suggest the best bars, clubs, disco to see in leipzig? on LP it's written "from 1989 , when the inhabitants of leipzig invaded the streets to party on...they havent finished to party yet"..true? (or, almost true :-))

has anyone been shopping at leipzig train station? I have a friend who swears their is a cigar shop somewhere within the shopping mall. (and would love to buy some specialist cigars) Does anyone know the name of the tobacconists and if it has a web site? any information would be of help. thanks

My husband and I are travelling to Leipzig, Vienna, and Venice with a choral tour next month. Most of our days are scheduled with the tour group, but we have a few mornings and afternoons free. We have one free morning in Leipzig; one afternoon, one morning, and one evening free in Vienna; and one afternon and two evenings free in Venice.

In Leipzig, we're already scheduled for a tour of the city, focusing on Bach, we'll hear the Thomanerchor, and eat at the Auerbach Keller.

In Vienna, we're scheduled for a city tour including the Musikverein and State Opera, Eisenstadt, Esterhazy Palace, home of Liszt, and we're singing at the Bergkirche and St. Stephensdom.

In Venice, we're scheduled for a tour of the city including Doge's Palace, and we're singing in San Marco.

Do you have suggestions for things we could do that aren't already scheduled in the short periods of free time we have? Maybe something that's sports related, or at least not a museum?

Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!

Could anyone tell me chepest and fastest connection from Frankfurt to Leipzeig and a cheap place to stay there over a weekend. Want to visit Bach before i move out of this city in near future.

Any special place, thing, food, drink that i must not miss there?

profuse thanks in advance,

Devinder

i'm visiting Leipzig for a weekend in December, using the ryanair route to Altenburg. Could anyone please recommend a good 3-4* hotel in the Altenburg area that is close to a train line to Leipzig so we can go in see the Christmas market.
