What to do and see in Leipzig, Saxony: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
It’s always hard to fill the shoes of someone who used to do your job very well. If you’re the choirmaster at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, guess whose shoes you have to fill? Bach’s. (No pressure.) Leipzig is closely connected to classical music—Wagner was born here, and Mendelssohn established a conservatory here in 1843. If you’re more of a melancholy, contemporary type, visit during the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, billed as the world’s largest "dark" (Goth, industrial, punk, etc.) music festival.

Leipzig's most famous promenade provides numerous shopping opportunities.

Definitely a must do if you are visiting Leipzig. This arcade was built by Anton Madler 1912-13 and due to the popularity of the famous "Auerbachs Keller" below it, it was decided to incorporate it in the design. there is a statue of Faust at the entrance to the Keller. Tradition is that if you rub the foot of Faust you will one day return there. The food in Auerbachs is goo and well worth eating there. Great specialist shops in the "passage" in particular the wine and spirit shop. What is also worth doing is is the tour to the rooms that are closed to the public. Auerbachs Keller dates to the 1700's but there are rooms that date back to 1530 and a couple in which Martin Luther hid in, while avoiding the Catholic Church. Through another door and down some stairs will take yo back to the 1300's to a little cellar. Eerie.

Bach served as the choirmaster at this church, to which his grave was moved in 1949, for the last 27 years of his life.

Thomaskirche is a beautiful church in downtown Leipzig. It is very close to the train station. Aside from being of historical interest, it as a pace where Johann Sebastian Bach led the famed Boys Choir for thirty years, where he wrote about one cantata week for those thirty years and is now (they think) buried.you can lear about that mystery when you visit. Worth your time.

Original office of the secret police. The building now presents these police documents and their surveillance equipment to the public.

A very interesting museum set in the building of the subject matter. A look at the rise and fall of the Stasi political police force of East Germany and their methods of work. Plenty of stuff on display. All in German but an English guide is available for 5 euros. Free to get in. The guide does not cover everything but is comprehensive none the less. Will need around 90 mins here if doing the guide or otherwise 20 mins max.

I just spent the day at Zoo Leipzig with my 3 daughters, ages 10, 13, and 17. What a fantastic place! It took us about 6 hours to get through the entire zoo. As with most city zoos, space is at a premium, but this zoo is laid out well, the animals seem very happy, and there are multiple viewing opportunities at each exhibit. Nearly every single plaque is fully translated in English too, which is really great. Also, there are many Coronavirus precautions in place. Lots of sanitizing stations, and masks are required in all the buildings. Definitely a great way to spend the day! Highly recommended!!
