Over the centuries, Leipzig, the trade fair centre and university town located in the heart of Europe, has cast its spell on people from all parts of the world for centuries. The citizens of Leipzig have left their mark on history not only with the Battle of Leipzig against Napoleon but also with their Monday demonstrations, which sparked off the peaceful revolution in 1989 and led to the reunification of Germany. After an era of unequalled rebuilding and redevelopment, the town today displays itself as a cosmopolitan centre of trade, culture, and science, in which the traditional and the modern blend to form a fascinating whole.
This self-guided walking tour takes the visitor to the most important sights in the centre of Leipzig. In a single day you can experience a thousand years of history in an entertaining and informative way.
