City tour Leipzig

A Journey through History, Music, and Enchanting Arcades


The flair of the traditional trade fair town Leipzig is particularly influenced by its historic centre, which features numerous market squares and unique arcades. Though they date from centuries past, they are still as full of life as they have ever been.

During your group tour to Leipzig you will stroll through the beautiful city centre, revel in its outgoing, lively atmosphere and visit the Old City Hall, St. Thomas’s Church and St. Nicholas’s Church. Follow in the footsteps of renowned musicians such as Bach, Telemann, Mendelssohn and Schumann, who are all inextricably linked with Leipzig, and see the city through the eyes of Goethe as you pass through the Mädlerpassage (a historic covered passage) – the location of the famous “Auerbachs Keller” restaurant.
This group tour is customised by us for you. It can be modified, shortened or extended according to your wishes. We look forward to receiving your enquiry and will be happy to provide you with a customised offer for your group tour.
