Sightseeing and fun
Leipzig offers its visitors many interesting sights. Well worth seeing, for example, is the Nikolaikirche, Leipzig's largest and oldest church. First appearing modest from the outside, it impresses its visitors with its magnificent inside. This church played a significant role in the fall of the Berlin Wall. All demonstrations are said to be inspired by the peace prayer of a freedom-loving pastor, Christian Führer. People used to get together at the church and later on the square nearby, demanding the freedom to travel and democratic elections. These peaceful demonstrations were held every Monday after work, paving the way to the reunification of Germany.
Another church - the Thomaskirche is well known for being 'Bach's place of work as a cantor and his final resting place. Apart from that, there is an impressive boys' choir.
If you visit Leipzig during the winter months and want to see something exotic, you will enjoy the tropical climate of the local Zoo This is also the perfect destination if you travel with children. There are waterfalls, streams with boat tours, bridges, dark caves, tropical plants and rare animals, as well as plenty of activities to entertain both adults and children.
The Auerbach's Keller is yet another must-see local sight - a restaurant which was frequently visited and later mentioned by Goethe in his "Faust". Two characters from this masterpiece are meeting us at the entrance – Faust and Mephistopheles. Good news is – it's not super expensive and an excellent place to test-taste the “Leipziger Lerche” – an almond and jam pastry.
