The experience
What makes Leipzig's history stick with you? A guide who walks you through it. You start at the Old Town Hall, a 16th-century Renaissance building constructed in just nine months, and hear how this oldest trade city in Europe became the place where Napoleon was defeated. The guide shows you the building's infamous jail and torture chamber, then takes you inside Auerbach's Keller, the oldest continuously operated pub in the city, before moving through the Mädler Passage with its architectural grandeur.
The route then moves through St. Thomas Church and the Bach Museum, where the guide explains the stories tied to each place. You continue to Nikolaikirche, Leipzig's largest church, and then to Augustusplatz to see the main campus of the University and Krochhochhaus, the city's first high-rise. The walk passes the Concert Hall, known for its fine acoustics, and Ross Square with its Stalin-era architecture, before ending at the New Town Hall, whose 114.8-meter tower is the tallest city hall tower in Germany. Two hours covers all of this without rushing, and the guide can pause longer at stops that interest you most.
The tour works for any age and fitness level, and no separate transport is needed. Everything is on foot through the city center. You can meet the guide at the Old Town Hall or arrange pickup at a central hotel with no additional charge. Groups stay at 25 people maximum, so you get a guide focused on your group only.
