Question 1

What are the major attractions in Leipzig?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Leipzig is all organized but your itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a few hints and tips.

Close to the city center, Leipzig Zoo is one attraction you might like to add to your to-do list. If you still have space on your travel schedule, Red Bull Arena and Monument of the Battle of the Nations will keep you on the go as well.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Leipzig?

Accepted Answer

With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to experience all that Merseburg, 16 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Maya Mare, Merseburger Palace and Merseburger Cathedral. Locals are also likely to point you toward Halle, 20 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Maya Mare. (But we'd also highly recommend Zoo Halle and Giebichenstein Castle.)
