Leipzig Travel Guide

Located in the Federal State of Saxony, the city of Leipzig is a popular tourist destination in eastern Germany. Not only is it ranked as one of the most livable cities in the country, Leipzig was also ranked as a city with one of the ‘highest quality of living in Europe’. The city’s fortune declined during the Communist era, but ‘the Boomtown of eastern Germany’ made a stunning turnaround after the end of the Cold War, to emerge as one of the most significant cultural, economic, and tourism centers of Germany. The New York Times listed it as a must visit city a few years ago in 2010.
